Project Gutenberg 2010-02-27 Public domain in the USA. 41 Plato -428 -348 Πλάτων Zambas, Kyriakos 1866 Ζάμπας, Κυριάκος Φίληβος Philebus Produced by Sophia Canoni. Book provided by Iason Konstantinides "Φίληβος" by Plato is a philosophical dialogue written in antiquity. The work features a discussion primarily between Socrates and Philebus concerning the nature of the good, contrasting pleasure and wisdom as the ultimate forms of happiness. The dialogue's themes suggest a deep exploration of ethics, metaphysics, and the relationship between pleasure and rationality. At the start of "Φίληβος," Socrates introduces a debate between himself and Philebus, who claims that the good is synonymous with pleasure, while Socrates argues for the superiority of wisdom and reason. The characters engage in an intricate dialogue about the nature of happiness and the qualities that lead to a fulfilling life. They agree to examine which state, pleasure or intellect, provides a more satisfying existence, setting the stage for a philosophical inquiry that delves into deeper questions of ethical value and the essence of the good. The opening lays the groundwork for an examination of complex ideas regarding the interplay between hedonism and rational thought.
