Sinopse

This translation with introduction and commentary of Plato´s Philebus was originally issued under the title Plato´s Examination of Pleasure and first reprinted as Plato´s Philebus. This dialogue, generally agreed to be one of Plato´s latest and mostsophisticated, analyses in detail the nature of pleasure - its meaning, its varieties and importance. Professor Hackforth here translates the dialogue for the student and general reader. There is a running commentary on the course of the argument and the meaning of key Greek terms and a full introduction to explain the philosophical background and the place of this work among Plato´s writings.
