Description: This is the inaugural volume of the Plato Dialogue Project: it offers the first collective study of the Philebus - a high point of philosophical ethics, containing some of Plato's most sophisticated discussions of human happiness. The contributors work through the text, discussing pleasure, knowledge, philosophical method, and the human good.
Review Quotes: "The book is a necessary addition to any library collecting scholarly work on ancient philosophy, and its chapters will surely appear -- and rightly so -- in very many bibliographies of work on the Philebus appearing in the near future." -- Colin C. Smith, Journal of the History of Philosophy
