This book comprises a selection of the articles delivered at the Eighth Symposium Platonicum of the International Plato Society, held in Dublin. The articles cover all the chief topics raised in the Philebus, including dialectic, the nature of pleasure, the system of first principles, and the nature of the good life. The papers represent a fine panorama of current scholarly thinking on the contents of this most interesting and significant dialogue.
