Platos Lysis. Its not too long, so you can probably read it all for Tuesday, but if you need to break it in half, that is fine also. (pages 1-25)Background information: All of the characters that Socrates talks to in this dialogue are pretty young. Ctesippus and Hippothales are older teenagers/young adults (similar to Alcibiades in the last dialogue), while Lysis and Menexenus are probably about 13. This could be the age when Plato himself first talked to the historical Socrates, so maybe here Plato is drawing on his own memories for some inspiration! (Pure speculation, but I think its an interesting possibility.)As in the Alcibiades, we can see Plato exploring several different types of love and connection. The dialogue is framed by the question of how to talk to someone you love and hope to form a relationship with (Hippothales is in love with Lysis); then, Socrates talks to Lysis about the love his parents have for himdo they actually love him? Finally, the longest part of the dialogue focuses on friendship as we would call it, with Lysis and Menexenuss friendship as the prime example. By the end, Socrates says that, although they havent been able to give a final account of friendship, they still have become friends, through their conversation. Does philosophy establish friendship?The central question of this part of the dialogue is, why do people become and remain friends? What explains friendship?Class preparation prompts:1Identify on passage that you find interesting and would like to discuss further.2What questions do you have?
