Description

A 1958 English translation of the complete text of Plato's Philebus. Among the last of the late Socratic dialogues, the central concern of the Philebus is the relative value of knowledge and pleasure. The text moves towards an understanding of human happiness and the constituent factors in 'the Good Life'.
