Classifying Difference and Value: The Metaphysics of Kinds and the Search for the Good in Plato’s Philebus

• Abstract: Plato’s Philebus is a late dialogue that records a dispute between a hedonist (Philebus/Protarchus) and an advocate of the superiority of knowledge to pleasure (Socrates). This dissertation argues that it advances Plato’s late method and metaphysics in the context of the ethical project at the heart of the dialogue: acquiring knowledge of the nature of the good human life. It demonstrates how Plato uses his method of collection and division, its corresponding metaphysics of kinds, and a teleological natural philosophy to continue his exploration of a science or expertise in morality familiar from dialogues like the Republic and Protagoras. Moreover, it puts Plato in conversation with topics in contemporary metaphysics, philosophy of science, and social philosophy.
