Dialogue

 1 Phileb|      abrupt and inharmonious, and far from clear. Many points
 2 Phileb|        Nor are we able to say how far Plato in the Philebus conceives
 3 Phileb|           the Philebus falls very far short of the Republic in
 4 Phileb|           like. All things, in as far as they are good, even pleasures,
 5 Phileb|     modern terms, we shall not be far wrong in saying that here,
 6 Phileb|         not a Pantheist, and very far from confounding God with
 7 Phileb|       objects or ideas, not in so far as they are in the mind,
 8 Phileb|        are in the mind, but in so far as they are manifested externally,
 9 Phileb|        combination of opinions is far from being impossible. Plato’
10 Phileb|          in the Philebus.~V. Thus far we have only attained to
11 Phileb|        dialogues. For Socrates is far from implying that the art
12 Phileb|    pleasures may be opposed in so far as they spring from opposite
13 Phileb|           applies to comedy in so far as in comedy we laugh at
14 Phileb|        mindful, but that they are far too regardless of consequences,
15 Phileb|          philosophy which seem so far from us—Socrates, Plato,
16 Phileb|          truth. But to decide how far our ideas of morality are
17 Phileb|       would be a long enquiry too far removed from the question
18 Phileb|     fostered and strengthened. So far from being inconsistent
19 Phileb|         enthusiasm of the future, far stronger than any old religion,
20 Phileb|      happiness of another is very far from compensating for the
21 Phileb|  Shaftesbury and Hume, are not so far apart as they and their
22 Phileb|    subjected; he does not see how far he has given birth to a
23 Phileb|         right or wrong only in so far as they tend towards happiness,
24 Phileb|           them.’ But this is very far from being coextensive with
25 Phileb|        principle of right is of a far higher character—what or
26 Phileb|            they are opposed in so far as they spring from opposite
27 Phileb|      colour is like colour;—in so far as colours are colours,
28 Phileb|    opposed?~PROTARCHUS: Not in so far as they are pleasures.~SOCRATES:
29 Phileb|          is also the divine mind, far otherwise. However, I will
30 Phileb|         not think that I shall be far wrong in speaking of the
31 Phileb|      SOCRATES: If we are right so far, there arises a further
32 Phileb|          good or bad except in as far as they are true or false?~
33 Phileb|  conceived to be bad except in so far as they are false.~PROTARCHUS:
34 Phileb|         Socrates, and in a degree far greater.~SOCRATES: Then
35 Phileb|       SOCRATES: And yet surely by far the greatest number err
36 Phileb|       PROTARCHUS: Yes, that is by far the commonest delusion.~
37 Phileb|        feeling of pleasure, in so far as he is pleased at the
38 Phileb| arithmetic and mensuration enter, far surpass all others; and
39 Phileb|           unchangeableness, is by far the truest of all. But how
40 Phileb|        that the art of persuasion far surpassed every other; this,
41 Phileb|           this, as he says, is by far the best of them all, for
42 Phileb|         which is not?~PROTARCHUS: Far greater.~SOCRATES: Then
43 Phileb|         PROTARCHUS: It will be by far the safer course to let
44 Phileb|    messengers bearing the tidings far and wide, that pleasure
45 Phileb|           wisdom, you will not be far wrong, if I divine aright.~
46 Phileb|          I affirmed that mind was far better and far more excellent,
47 Phileb|           mind was far better and far more excellent, as an element
