Probably one of Plato's later dialogues (c. 355 BCE), its topic, of
considerable importance to Plato, is the nature of the good life,
and the conclusions on this subject are supported by a metaphysical
excursus and discussions of pleasure and knowledge - the two
ingredients of the good life. It is Plato's most deliberate and
thorough attempt to describe the good life and may be regarded as
the canonical platonic text on the subject of the way men ought to
live - a theme which runs through the majority of the other
dialogues. It is one of the earliest discussions of ethics - not in
the sense of discussing what goodness is, but in the more direct
sense of what motivates us and how do we become good. With a wealth
of reference to other thinkers and schools of thought the dialogue
dismisses hedonism, or the pursuit of pleasure for its own sake, as
espoused by Philebus and esablishes the pursuit of knowledge as a
higher goal.
