Synopsis
Damascius’ Lectures on the Philebus deals with some of the important insights explored by the late Platonic writers, concerning the dialectical system, the relation of the One to the Many, and of Pleasure to Intelligence, the Bound and the Infinite and their mixture, the nature of the Good, and so on. Westerink brings to the work his usual high standard of scholarship and thoughtfulness: with extensive introduction, notes and indices. This is a new edition with amendments as noted by L G Westerink in the margin of his own working copy after its first publication. One of the Prometheus Trust's 'Platonic Texts and Translations Series', bound in red library buckram with gold blocking.
