Dialogue

  1 Phileb|         pleasure to the indefinite class, compared with the assertion
  2 Phileb|         seat in the third or mixed class: these two statements are
  3 Phileb|           enumerated in the fourth class. We seem to have an intimation
  4 Phileb|          the mixed life, the mixed class of elements, the mixture
  5 Phileb|          or knowledge of the third class, while reason or mind is
  6 Phileb|       noticed respecting the third class. First, that Plato seems
  7 Phileb|       Secondly, that in this mixed class we find the idea of beauty.
  8 Phileb|         the infinite or indefinite class. We may now proceed to divide
  9 Phileb|           falling under the finite class. Again, we are able to define
 10 Phileb|          better to make a separate class of the pleasures of smell,
 11 Phileb|      placed together in the fourth class of goods. The relation in
 12 Phileb|          the first from the second class of goods, or the second
 13 Phileb|           the nature of the fourth class. Fourthly, the meaning of
 14 Phileb|            the allusion to a sixth class, which is not further investigated.~(
 15 Phileb|           Republic). (4) The sixth class, if a sixth class is to
 16 Phileb|            sixth class, if a sixth class is to be added, is playfully
 17 Phileb|          means to say that a sixth class, if there be such a class,
 18 Phileb|          class, if there be such a class, is not worth considering,
 19 Phileb|            to look for one idea or class in all things, and when
 20 Phileb|            indefinite:—That is the class which is denoted by the
 21 Phileb|           applied, fall under this class. The infinite would be no
 22 Phileb|         and quantity. The opposite class is the limited or finite,
 23 Phileb|     quantity. And there is a third class of generation into essence
 24 Phileb|   therefore there must be a fourth class, which is the cause of generation;
 25 Phileb|      Clearly in the third or mixed class, in which the finite gives
 26 Phileb|           that mind belongs to the class which we term the cause,
 27 Phileb|         the infinite or indefinite class. We will examine the place
 28 Phileb|          natural seat is the mixed class, in which health and harmony
 29 Phileb|        pleasant. Here is our first class of pleasures. And another
 30 Phileb|          of pleasures. And another class of pleasures and pains are
 31 Phileb|           the attribute of another class. But if pleasures and pains
 32 Phileb|          joy or sorrow.~The second class of pleasures involves memory.
 33 Phileb|           belonged to the infinite class. How, then, can we compare
 34 Phileb|           all others belong to the class of the infinite, and are
 35 Phileb|         essence. Under relatives I class all things done with a view
 36 Phileb|  generation; and essence is of the class of good. But if essence
 37 Phileb|           But if essence is of the class of good, generation must
 38 Phileb|   generation must be of some other class; and our friends, who affirm
 39 Phileb|     painless pleasures.~Of a sixth class, I have no more to say.
 40 Phileb|           acknowledge that a large class of actions are made right
 41 Phileb|        these actions regarded as a class will not conduce to the
 42 Phileb|      pleasure and delight, and the class of feelings akin to them,
 43 Phileb|         are comprehended under one class; and yet particular figures
 44 Phileb|            sciences are a numerous class, and will be found to present
 45 Phileb|         one does not belong to the class of things that are born
 46 Phileb|           he distinguished a third class of letters which we now
 47 Phileb|             not those, but another class of goods; and we are constantly
 48 Phileb|      SOCRATES: I say that a fourth class is still wanted.~PROTARCHUS:
 49 Phileb|           and add this as a fourth class to the three others.~PROTARCHUS:
 50 Phileb|           you like to have a fifth class or cause of resolution as
 51 Phileb|            are to be ranked in the class of the infinite.~PROTARCHUS:
 52 Phileb|         may not be referred to the class of the infinite, which is
 53 Phileb|      rightly reckoned by us in the class of the limited or finite;
 54 Phileb|           less.~PROTARCHUS: In the class of the infinite, you mean?~
 55 Phileb|           the other.~SOCRATES: The class of the finite which we ought
 56 Phileb|            What do you mean by the class of the finite?~SOCRATES:
 57 Phileb|          the finite?~SOCRATES: The class of the equal and the double,
 58 Phileb|            and the double, and any class which puts an end to difference
 59 Phileb|           you mingle with them the class of the finite, takes certain
 60 Phileb|           that the infinite is one class, and that the finite is
 61 Phileb|        that the finite is a second class of existences; but what
 62 Phileb|       amazing variety of the third class is too much for you, my
 63 Phileb|          when I speak of the third class, understand me to mean any
 64 Phileb|          was, as we said, a fourth class to be investigated, and
 65 Phileb|           of this life and to what class it is to be assigned?~PROTARCHUS:
 66 Phileb| comprehended in the third or mixed class; which is not composed of
 67 Phileb|           or do they belong to the class which admits of more and
 68 Phileb|       PHILEBUS: They belong to the class which admits of more, Socrates;
 69 Phileb|         asked the question to what class mind and knowledge belong?~
 70 Phileb|        should like to consider the class of mind, if you do not object,
 71 Phileb|         mind is the parent of that class of the four which we called
 72 Phileb|       pretty clearly set forth the class to which mind belongs and
 73 Phileb|            True.~SOCRATES: And the class to which pleasure belongs
 74 Phileb|        infinite and belongs to the class which neither has, nor ever
 75 Phileb|           with pleasure, since her class was first examined; and
 76 Phileb|       natural seat is in the mixed class.~PROTARCHUS: And would you
 77 Phileb|          then understand the mixed class to be that which we placed
 78 Phileb|      observing before, make up the class of living beings, is pain,
 79 Phileb|   PROTARCHUS: Yes; this is another class of pleasures and pains,
 80 Phileb|          clearly whether the whole class of pleasure is to be desired,
 81 Phileb|            so.~SOCRATES: The other class of pleasures, which as we
 82 Phileb|       thirst, and the like, in the class of desires?~PROTARCHUS:
 83 Phileb|           and that they are of the class of infinites.~PROTARCHUS:
 84 Phileb|           nature of pleasures as a class, we should not look at the
 85 Phileb|           I assign to an analogous class. Here then are two kinds
 86 Phileb|          right in referring to the class of the infinite, and of
 87 Phileb|       others we shall refer to the class which has measure.~PROTARCHUS:
 88 Phileb|           ends to which the former class subserve (absolutes).~PROTARCHUS:
 89 Phileb|         done must be placed in the class of good, and that which
 90 Phileb|      something else, in some other class, my good friend.~PROTARCHUS:
 91 Phileb|       rightly placed in some other class than that of good?~PROTARCHUS:
 92 Phileb|            SOCRATES: Of the latter class, the most exact of all are
 93 Phileb|            in a second or inferior class.~PROTARCHUS: Very true.~
 94 Phileb|      opinion to belong to the same class, let him consider whether
 95 Phileb|      mingling the sections of each class which have the most of truth,
 96 Phileb|        before, that for any single class to be left by itself pure
 97 Phileb|            make comparisons of one class with another and choose,
 98 Phileb|            SOCRATES: In the second class is contained the symmetrical
 99 Phileb|          you not put in the fourth class the goods which we were
100 Phileb|         These come after the third class, and form the fourth, as
101 Phileb|        Surely.~SOCRATES: The fifth class are the pleasures which
