Philebus
The ''Philebus'' (; occasionally given as ''Philebos''; Greek: ), is one of the surviving Socratic dialogues written in the 4th century BC by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. Apart from Socrates, the primary speaker in ''Philebus'', the other speakers are Philebus and Protarchus. But Philebus, who wants to defend the life of pleasure, hedonism, which Socrates describes as the life of an oyster, hardly participates, and his position has to be defended by Protarchus, who has learnt argumentation from Sophists.
Manuscripts of the work give it the subtitle "''peri hēdonēs, ēthikos''" indicating that it is "concerning pleasure", and that it is a work about "ethics", or in other words the question of the best way of life. However "there are large parts in the dialogue that deal with dialectics and ontology but have nothing to do with pleasure and ethics, or if so, only indirectly".〔 page 306.〕
==Date of composition==
It has been proposed that the work was composed between 360 and 347 BC, and that it is among the last of the late dialogues of Plato, many of which do not figure Socrates as the main speaking character.〔Schofield, 'Plato', ''Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy'', ed. Edward Craig. Routledge. page 419.〕 The dialogue is generally considered to contain less humor than earlier dialogues, and to emphasize philosophy and speculation over drama and poetry.〔Jowett, Chapter 1.〕〔Schofield.〕
