One wonders, however, if setting the Symposium within the con- text of more Platonic dialogues would have altered a few of Sheffield's conclu- sions. This is not to say that she makes no illuminating references to other dialogues.

She certainly does, especially to the Me. There are no references, however, to the Philebus, Timaeus, Euthydemus, or Statesman, and only two to the Laws.

Sophiste/Politique/Philèbe/Timée/Critias

As a reasonable interpretation of the Sym- posium based on a thorough familiarity with Plato's text, Sheffield's book suc- ceeds. As a statement of what the Symposium contributes to Plato's ethics, its contribution is significant but less complete. Introduction a I'Agathologie Platonicienne.

Philèbe (ou Sur le Plaisir) se présente à la manière d'un exercice de dialectique, classique dans l'Académie de Platon: chacun a une thèse à défendre touchant.

George Rudebusch The Philebus is Plato's most difficult dialogue to interpret as a unified, com- pelling work, to judge from the percentage of its commentators who have asserted such an interpretation is impossible. In this comprehensive commentary, Sylvain Delcomminette makes the case that the Philebus contains compelling arguments united by their dialectical development of an account of the good, an account that complements Plato's other work. The book makes a significant con- tribution to the study of Plato that is essential reading for scholars at work on the Philebus.

As a commentary, the book follows the Philebus closely, discussing virtually every speech in the dialogue, while the chapter divisions break the dialogue into its different stages. Chapter 1 opens the debate about the good: Is it pleasure, cognition, or something else? Chapter 2 marks a metaphysical transition: Chapter 2 also describes how Protarchus comes to accept Socrates' hypothesis that any one —not merely a material one like Protarchus or Socrates but even a formal one like Cognition or Pleasure—is many, that the air of paradox is a linguistic phenomenon, and that the hypothesis Ancient Philosophy 29 is a necessary presupposition of scientific research and pedagogical exposition.

Chapter 3 refutes two identity theses, showing that the good in human life cannot simply be identical either to pleasure or to knowledge. The remaining inquiry is: Chapter 4 articulates four formal tools needed in the inquiry: Chapters distinguish the one, Pleasure, as many different kinds of pleasure, including different kinds of intrinsically true and false pleasures as well as pleasures intrinsically either mixed with or pure of pain.

Chapters distinguish different branches of knowledge in terms of their intrinsic precision and certainty.

Chapter 14 summarizes the progress made in the dialogue in prepa- ration for the climax, namely, an account of the forms of pleasure and knowledge acceptable in a good human life chapter 15 ; the form of the good in relation to other dialogues, in particular the Republic chapter 16 ; and the final ranking of intelligence far above pleasure in its likeness to the good chapter Scholarship on the Philebus has proliferated since the most recent commen- taries, by M.

Migliori L'uomo fra piacere, intelligent e bene: Vita e Pensiero, and D. And these two commentaries themselves were written in ignorance of each other, like great ships sailing past each other in the night. Delcomminette serves scholarship well, therefore, by drawing together these many discussions of the myriad aspects of the Philebus into a single discus- sion.
