Eros e Thanatos

Abstract

The main aim of this article is to prove that there is not an absolute unity between Plato's dialogues. He was a metaphysician in some themes and a non-metaphysician in others. Therefore, in his dialogue Phedon he gives a metaphysical explanation about death and the soul's immortality, but in another dialogue Phedro he assumes that carnal passion is an ultimate form of love.
