Philebus
Proponent of the view that pleasure is the good; present at the start of the dialogue but withdraws from active argument early, leaving Protarchus to argue on his behalf, and reappears briefly near the end.
Oh Socrates, you exalt your own god.
I think and always shall think that pleasure is the victor.
for pleasure would not be absolute good if it were not infinite in number and degree.
