Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the timeless philosophical question of what constitutes the "good life." The author engages with Plato's *Philebus*, a challenging dialogue that examines the relationship between pleasure and knowledge in the pursuit of happiness. The book explores a debate between those who believe that pleasure is the ultimate good and those who believe that knowledge and intellect are superior. The author analyzes Plato's complex and often convoluted argument, highlighting his use of dialectic and his exploration of the concepts of unity and multiplicity, measure and limit. This work offers a deep dive into Plato's intricate philosophical system, examining his views on the nature of pleasure, knowledge, and the human condition. Ultimately, the book reveals how Plato, through the lens of the *Philebus*, presents a compelling case for the superiority of intellect and reason in achieving a fulfilling and balanced life.
