Callicles Refuted
In Socrates, pleasure, and value. New York: Oxford University Press (1999)
Abstract
It is of the highest importance to Plato to refute Callicles’ hedonist thesis, and for the purposes of such a refutation, he gives two arguments, which I call the argument from opposites and the argument from pleased cowards. I give a new interpretation of these arguments and show that both arguments are defensible.Author's Profile
