Abstract
A MONG the various problems concerning Plato's attribution of falsity to pleasures I shall not merely confine myself to those that arise in the Philebus, but wvithin the Philebus to the question of the first type of 'false pleasure.' It is, however, worth noting that there are three types there treated and how they are distinguislhed. The passage on the falsity of pleasures may roughly be divided as follows: I.3 2a-36c: Socrates examines pleasures of anticipation in general, how they arise from a present lack, and the connection of desire with perception and memory. ii. 36c-37: the question of the falsity of such pleasures is introduced in a general way. iii. 37-4ib: the attribution of falsity is defended with regard to the first type. iv. 4ib-42c: the second type is described. v. 42C seq.: the third type is described.
