Philibus

Philebus is a philosophical dialogue by Plato that explores the relationship between pleasure and knowledge in achieving the good life.

Socrates argues against the notion that pleasure is the ultimate good.

He proposes that a balanced combination of both pleasure and knowledge is necessary for human happiness.

The dialogue examines different types of pleasure and knowledge, assessing their respective contributions to a fulfilling existence.

Ultimately, Socrates suggests that reason and intellect are superior to pleasure in the pursuit of the good.
