Platonic adventures:

Keywords: Plato, Socrates, Eros, knowledge, madness

Abstract

The article proposes a revision of philosophical knowledge from the experience of love. With Plato as a point of departure and inspiration, philosophical knowledge is questioned as strictly rational, methodical, and distant from one's own experiences. Passionate love -erotic mania-, with its profound alterations, is presented as a process favorable to philosophical knowledge, which is the same knowledge of oneself.
