Publisher's Synopsis
Platonis Philebus is a philosophical dialogue written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. This work is a discussion between Socrates and two other characters, Protarchus and Philebus, about the nature of pleasure and its relationship to the good life. The dialogue explores the question of whether pleasure is the ultimate goal of human existence or whether there are higher goods that should be pursued instead. Throughout the conversation, Socrates challenges the assumptions of his interlocutors and offers his own perspective on the nature of the good life. The dialogue also touches on other philosophical themes, such as the nature of knowledge and the relationship between language and reality. This edition of Platonis Philebus was published in 1855 and includes a Latin translation and commentary.
