Przyjaźń i jej źródła w Platońskim Lizysie
Friendship and its sources in Plato’s Lysis

Summary/Abstract: Lysis is the first and the only one among Plato’s writings which concerns the subject of philia as a main aim of the issues being discussed. Friendship in Lysis does not only embrace intensive and elusive desire for love but also all other types of passions that people have towards something or somebody. This dialogue is unique because it initiates a problem of philia, which appears in the following Plato’s writings. But what is more, is the fact that this Greek philosoper uncovers various ideas and opinions as far as philia is concerned. And as a result it becomes an outline of numerous Plato’s inquiries concerning the matter of philia.
