Socrates and Phaedrus describe the various kinds of behavior between lovers based on Lysias’s speech in which he argues that physical love without emotional attachment is preferable to physical love with emotional attachment. Socrates and Phaedrus both agree with Lysias’s notion that there are two kinds of lovers: a lover, and a non-lover. However, the differences between Socrates and Phaedrus begin with who is the better type of lover. Phaedrus believed Lysia’s speech to be excellent and offers an extensive argument from the speech. Phaedrus believes in maintaining self-interest and because this believed that a young man should choose to engage in a relationship with a non-lover as opposed to a lover. This is because of the idea that being in a relationship with a lover is synonymous to an emotional rollercoaster. The feedback would almost always be biased and in turn offer no constructive criticism which would help a young man grow. Socrate’s on the other hand believes it is beneficial to be with a lover because if one doesn’t experience the madness of true love they will never experience the true beauty of love. Socrates values the beauty of love over a superficial relationship where there is a lack of true love which contradicts Phaedrus’s take on love.
