Philebus : What Brings True Happiness? – Plato’s Dialogue on Pleasure, Intelligence, and the Good Life

What if the secret to happiness is not one truth—but a delicate balance of many?

In Philebus, Plato challenges us to consider whether pleasure or reason leads to a better life. Through a lively dialogue between Socrates, Philebus, and Protarchus, we explore questions about desire, truth, and the ultimate good.

This modern translation breathes new life into the classic conversation, making Plato’s deep philosophical insights clear and approachable. It’s not just a debate—it’s a blueprint for finding harmony between emotion and intellect.

What you'll discover inside:

• A Timeless Debate on the Good Life – Pleasure vs. reason, and the balance in between

• Socrates' Ethical Philosophy – Uncover Plato’s enduring vision of virtue and truth

• A Modern, Accessible Translation – Carefully adapted for clarity and impact

• A Journey into Fulfillment – Explore how proportion and harmony lead to lasting happiness

Discover Philebus—Plato’s philosophical guide to what it means to truly live well.
