The Philebus of Plato is a philosophical dialogue written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato in the 4th century BCE. The dialogue discusses the nature of pleasure, knowledge, and the good life. The main characters in the dialogue are Socrates and Philebus, a follower of the philosopher Protagoras. The dialogue begins with Socrates and Philebus discussing the nature of pleasure and whether it is the ultimate goal of human life. They then move on to discuss the nature of knowledge and how it relates to pleasure. The dialogue ends with Socrates proposing a synthesis of pleasure and knowledge as the ultimate good. The Philebus is a complex and challenging work of philosophy that continues to be studied and debated by scholars today. This edition of the book, published in 1873, includes a new translation of the text, as well as an introduction and notes by the editor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
