Abstract |
What is Plato's view of pleasure in his dialogue the Phaedo? He
clearly (and famously) rails against bodily pleasures, seeing them as
shackles of sorts which prevent the soul from attaining its proper
perfection apart from the body, but does he leave room in the carnate
life for some other forms of pleasure? These are some of the questions
I would like to try to address in this paper. As it turns out, I argue
that Plato does indeed recognize other types of pleasure, of the sort
which figure as important items of value in the good life.
