| Zusammenfassung: | "In this dissertation, I argue that the Philebus presents an account of the good life as containing some pleasures which are intrinsically good. Socrates' arguments binding pleasure to becoming (as opposed to being) do not serve, as common interpretations of the dialogue suggest, to disqualify pleasure from the realm of goodness. Rather, as I argue, they serve to present pure pleasure both as becoming and yet also as intrinsically good. Following my exposition of the dialogue's basic dialectical concepts of the one and many, mixture, and cause in Part I, I defend in Part II an interpretation of the dialogue's final ranking of goods as a dialectical exposition of the good itself into an ordered mixture. Each stratum in the order defines and makes possible the human good while also exhibiting a different, special aspect of the good itself. Pure pleasure, while ranking fifth, plays a particularly important role. As I argue, its very nature as contingent and emergent allows it to positively present to us something about the good that no other good in the good life can present: It shows us that the good itself is not contained by being but has a scope transcending being, encompassing some non-being, i.e., some becoming. I conclude by expressing this special role of pure pleasure through an "objective" argument for why the good should "descend" or come to be for us-e.g., through learning or as pleasure-rather than merely remaining in and by itself without any relation to the affairs of this world order." |
