Socrates, Pleasure, and Value by George Rudebusch
Rudebusch addresses the question of whether Socrates was a hedonist. In attempting to determine Socrates's position, he examines the passages in Plato's early dialogues that are most important to this controversy and draws important distinctions between two kinds of pleasure and between hedonism and Protagoreanism.
The issues it addresses.. are central to the concerns of most undergraduate and graduate courses on Plato's early and middle dialogues, and so I expect there would be a wide audience for it. * Susan Sauve Meyer, Department of Philosophy, University of Pennsylvania *
Tackles one of the most fundamental questions for understanding Socratic ethics in Plato's earlier dialogues ... it will be widely read and stir up quite a bit of discussion. * Gerasimos Santas, Department of Philosophy, University of California at Irvine *
