False Anticipatory Pleasures: Philebus 36a 3-41 a 6

Abstract

n the first section of this paper, I try to set out a minimum of complication the philosophical considerations which bear upon the interpretation I offer in section II of Plato's account of false anticipatory pleasures. In the case of the uses of the words for belief, with and in, the order of exposition reverses the order of discovery: it was by noticing Plato's use of these words that I came to the philosophical points I make about them in section I of the paper. I am not here offering any general account of other kinds of false pleasures considered by Plato.
