何についての本か
善とは快なのか、それとも知なのか。答えはどちらか一方ではない。善き生は混合であり、対話篇はその配分を言おうとする。
背景と歴史
最も後期の、そして最も難しいものの一つである。純粋な快と苦の混ざった快の区別——アリストテレスが受け継ぐことになる——を導入し、ピュタゴラス派から直接来ている限と無限の分析もある。プラトンが節度の倫理に最も近づいた文章である。

Could this be otherwise? PROTARCHUS: No. SOCRATES: But is such a life eligible? PROTARCHUS: I cannot answer you, Socrates; the argument has taken away from me the power of speech. SOCRATES: We must keep up our spirits;--let us now take the life of mind and examine it in turn. PROTARCHUS: And what is this life of mind? SOCRATES: I want to know whether any one of us would consent to live, having wisdom and mind and knowledge and memory of all things, but having no sense of pleasure or pain, and wholly unaffected by these and the like feelings?…
