Title: Socrates, pleasure, and value
Description: "In the past quarter century, enormous philosophical attention has been paid to Plato's "Socratic" dialogues, as interpreters have sought to identify which dialogues are truly Socratic and interpret and defend the moral theories they find in those works. In spite of this intellectual energy, no consensus has emerged on the question of whether Socrates was a hedonist - whether he believed pleasure to be the good.

In this study, George Rudebusch addresses this question and the textual puzzle from which it has arisen."--BOOK JACKET. "Tackling some of the most fundamental debates over Socratic ethics in Plato's earlier dialogues, Socrates, Pleasure, and Value will generate renewed discussion among specialists and provide reading for courses in ancient philosophy as well as ethical theory."--BOOK JACKET.
