It discusses the nature of pleasure and whether the good life is closer to pleasure or knowledge.
The translation in this edition is very good. The notes are really helpful as is the introduction.|6 of 6 people found the following
This translation by Dorothea Frede of Plato's dialogue on the nature of pleasure and its relation to thought and knowledge achieves a high standard of readability and fidelity to the Greek text. The volume includes a cogent introduction, notes, and comprehensive bibliography by Frede.
