Fileb

Platon

Fileb zaliczany jest do późnych dialogów Platońskich. Tak jak w pozostałych główną postacią jest Sokrates, który tutaj dyskutuje z Filebem o tym, czy najwyższe dobro polega na przyjemności, czy na mądrości. Z dialogu wynika, że ani przyjemność, ani wiedza same w sobie nie mogą być dobre, a dobro stanowi połączenie obu. Rozmówcy spierają się o to, która składowa powinna dominować w tym połączeniu i je określać. Sokrates wyraża pogląd zbieżny z przekonaniem samego Platona że to wiedza powinna być ograniczeniem dla przyjemności.
