Abstract

This thesis intends to make a thorough study of the dialogue Philebus. The manner in which this is done is as follows: First of all, certain preliminary matters are discussed in this Introduction, including the relationship of the doctrine of pleasure in the Philebus to that doctrine in some of the other dialogues, in an attempt to arrive at a synthetic statement of Plato's theory of pleasure. In the second chapter, the progression of the argument of the Philebus is analyzed, while in the third, a commentary is provided on the more important sections of the dialogue.
