What will concern me in the present essay, however, is rather the philosophical aspect of the dialogue: whether, or to what extent, the philosophy of the Symposium is “Socratic.” In the first place, given the recent tradition of modern Anglo-American scholarship, this will mean asking whether the dialogue is closer, philosophically, to the dialogues we modern Anglophones have come to label as “Socratic,” or “early,” or whether it is, rather, closer to-what are called-the “middle” dialogues.
