À la recherche du vrai Socrate

Pietro Dossena


  Abstract

Socrate, Erik Satie's self-acknowledged masterpiece, generated various interpretations but still remains problematic. This article adopts a genetic perspective and, through the analysis of the most interesting ‘key passage’ (bars 46–59 of Le banquet), adds to the understanding of the passage itself (the interpenetration between the figures of Satie, Socrates and Christ as sacrificial victims) and of the work as a whole. In this regard, the category of homogeneity is presented as the most relevant.
