The Nature of Pleasure: Absolute Standards of Replenishment and Due Measure 5. Pleasures of Learning and the Role of Due Measure in Experiencing Them 6. Plato’s Conception of Pleasure Confronting Three Aristotelian Critiques Appendix. The Philebus’s Implicit Response to the Aporiai of Participation from the Parmenides Notes Bibliography IndexReviewsOffering a genuinely new and profound interpretation, this is one of the most exciting and readable books on the Philebus I have encountered. It contributes very significantly to the field of ancient ethics, and Plato's ethics in particular. It also speaks very powerfully to perennial ethical and axiological concerns. Readers will almost certainly find Ionescu's close exegeses and her provocative speculative insights to be responsible yet creative, textually grounded yet inspired. Everywhere philosophically interesting, this book seems to me a force to be reckoned with. - John V.
