The Philebus is an extraordinarily creative and profound examination of what makes for a good human life, containing some of Plato's most sophisticated discussions of moral psychology, knowledge, metaphysics, and philosophical methodology. The Philebushad a far greater influence on Aristotle's ethics than the frequently studied Republic - yet historians of philosophical ethics have relatively neglected it and existing commentaries tend to emphasize certain aspects at the expense of others. This edited volume, the first of its kind, brings together leading scholars of ancient philosophy to take a fresh and comprehensive look at this important work. Each essay focuses on a relatively brief section of the Philebus and discusses the passages methodically, covering topics such as pleasure, knowledge, philosophical method, and the human good in detail. The result is not and is not intended to be a commentary, nor does it aim to present a unified interpretation. It is instead a series of close, original philosophical examinations, often in conversation with each other, which together provide continuous coverage of the Philebus. This reference work, a useful resource for teaching and studying, is valuable reading for researchers, scholars, graduate0students, and advanced undergraduates interested in Plato, ancient Greek ethics, and in the history of ethics.

Der uralte Konflikt zwischen Lust und Vernunft, der in der Geschichte der Philosophie und Psychologie zu manchen ausufernden oder auch abwegigen Überlegungen geführt hat, ist leichter zu durchschauen, wenn man Platons Dialog Philebos sehr genau gelesen hat. Platons Auseinandersetzung mit den semantischen und psychologischen Aspekten des Themas kann sozusagen als grundlegende wissenschaftliche Einführung gelten. Dieser Kommentar zeigt, daß man den Metaphysiker Platon (“Ideenlehre”) beiseite lassen muß, um dem Wissenschaftler Platon, der sich mit der Wissenschaft seiner Zeit (der seriösen Sophistik) auseinandersetzt, gerecht zu werden. Heutige Philosophen können aus Platons Philebos lernen, vorsichtiger mit den Begriffen Lust und Vernunft umzugehen, heutige Psychologen, unmißverständlich zwischen empirischer und spekulativer Psychoanalyse zu unterscheiden.

This book deals with the nature and function of the good in Plato’s philosophy, by focusing on the dialogue explicitly devoted to it: the Philebus. It provides a comprehensive commentary of this difficult dialogue in which almost all the themes of Plato’s philosophy are discussed or alluded to. The author shows that a scrupulous analysis and reconstruction of its argumentative progress makes it possible to discover the unity between these different topics, and argues that this unity lies in the fact that Plato develops there what he was calling for notably in the Republic, id est a (dialectical) science of the good (or ‘agathology’). Read from this viewpoint, the Philebus appears as a dialogue of tremendous importance for the understanding of Plato’s philosophy as a whole.
