171 Text |           similar opposition among pleasures.~PROTARCHUS: Very likely;
172 Text |       argue, as we are doing, that pleasures are oftener bad than good;
173 Text |     existing alike in good and bad pleasures, which makes you designate
174 Text |      tolerate the notion that some pleasures are good and others bad?~
175 Text |          Not in so far as they are pleasures.~SOCRATES: That is a return
176 Text |          there is no difference in pleasures, but that they are all alike;
177 Text |          in the same case with the pleasures of which you spoke.~PROTARCHUS:
178 Text |           admitting that, like the pleasures, they are opposite as well
179 Text |         there are many and diverse pleasures, and many and different
180 Text |        distinguishing the kinds of pleasures, as I am inclined to think,

183 Text |            was in them no limit to pleasures and self-indulgence, devised
184 Text |           Here then is one kind of pleasures and pains originating severally
185 Text |           this is another class of pleasures and pains, which is of the
186 Text |            suppose them to be, the pleasures being unalloyed with pain
187 Text |       SOCRATES: The other class of pleasures, which as we were saying
188 Text |   suffering and yet remembers past pleasures which, if they would only
189 Text |           we ought to say that the pleasures and pains of which we are

199 Text |    pleasures, and the good in true pleasures?~PROTARCHUS: Doubtless.~
200 Text |          this view there are false pleasures in the souls of men which
201 Text |       other way.~SOCRATES: Nor can pleasures be conceived to be bad except
202 Text |       truth; for no one would call pleasures and pains bad because they
203 Text |         liable.~SOCRATES: Well, of pleasures which are corrupt and caused
204 Text |          that there are many false pleasures existing or coming into
205 Text |          to say, if there are such pleasures.~SOCRATES: I think that
206 Text |       SOCRATES: That in such cases pleasures and pains come simultaneously;
207 Text |           happening in the case of pleasures and pains?~PROTARCHUS: Yes,
208 Text |            false, and infected the pleasures and pains with their own
209 Text |        SOCRATES: But now it is the pleasures which are said to be true
210 Text |       subjected to comparison; the pleasures appear to be greater and
211 Text |       placed side by side with the pleasures.~PROTARCHUS: Certainly,
212 Text |          suppose you part off from pleasures and pains the element which
213 Text |          direction we may not find pleasures and pains existing and appearing
214 Text |            going up and down cause pleasures and pains?~PROTARCHUS: True.~
215 Text |          the great changes produce pleasures and pains, but that the
216 Text |           school of Philebus calls pleasures are all of them only avoidances
217 Text |          me what I deem to be true pleasures. Having thus examined the
218 Text |          to see the true nature of pleasures as a class, we should not
219 Text |           look at the most diluted pleasures, but at the most extreme
220 Text |          instances of the greatest pleasures, as we have often said,
221 Text |           have often said, are the pleasures of the body?~PROTARCHUS:
222 Text |            Well, but are not those pleasures the greatest of which mankind
223 Text |           wish to see the greatest pleasures he ought to go and look,
224 Text |         who are very ill have more pleasures than those who are well,
225 Text |     pleasure; I want to know where pleasures are found to be most intense.
226 Text |         more intense and excessive pleasures in wantonness than in temperance?
227 Text |            true, then the greatest pleasures and pains will clearly be
228 Text |     SOCRATES: Take the case of the pleasures which arise out of certain
229 Text |           disorders?~SOCRATES: The pleasures of unseemly disorders, which

231 Text | consideration of these and similar pleasures, we shall not be able to

233 Text |             SOCRATES: You mean the pleasures which are mingled with pain?~
234 Text |        there are other mixtures of pleasures with pains, common both
235 Text |         state are called sometimes pleasures and sometimes pains.~PROTARCHUS:
236 Text |        these sorts of mixtures the pleasures and pains are sometimes
237 Text |          them in every way; of all pleasures he declares them to be the
238 Text |     opinions of the majority about pleasures.~SOCRATES: Yes, Protarchus,
239 Text |            quite true of the mixed pleasures, which arise out of the
240 Text |         other sort of admixture of pleasures and pains.~PROTARCHUS: What
241 Text |         full of the most wonderful pleasures? need I remind you of the
242 Text |   honeycomb?’~And you remember how pleasures mingle with pains in lamentation
243 Text |     detecting other cases of mixed pleasures and pains will be less.~
244 Text |          where is the admixture of pleasures and pains.~SOCRATES: Well,
245 Text |         all sorts of admixtures of pleasures and pains; and so further
246 Text |     SOCRATES: Then after the mixed pleasures the unmixed should have
247 Text |            of the opinion that all pleasures are a cessation of pain,
248 Text |          witnesses, that there are pleasures which seem only and are

250 Text |            be true?~SOCRATES: True pleasures are those which are given
251 Text |             and they have peculiar pleasures, quite unlike the pleasures
252 Text |        pleasures, quite unlike the pleasures of scratching. And there

254 Text |        beautiful, and have natural pleasures associated with them.~PROTARCHUS:

256 Text |           pleasures.~SOCRATES: The pleasures of smell are of a less ethereal
257 Text |         admixture of pain; and all pleasures, however and wherever experienced,

259 Text |          To these may be added the pleasures of knowledge, if no hunger
