Abstract

This paper analyzes and seeks to understand Walter Benjamin’s interpretation of Platonic eros. Several problems of philosophical interest seem to arise from it in the contemporary scenario, among which the focus on difference and on critical confrontation of the ontology of presence as the source of reification, which represents the way we relate to the world. This philosophical project aims to reach its goals through the theory of linguistic nomination, by claiming the existence of the paradoxical image of union in the link between the act of naming and Platonic eros. Such paradox is only effective if it deals with distance and difference.
