DESCRIPTION:<p>This conference aims to provide an occasion for developing interpretations of Plato&rsquo\;s views on pleasure that counterbalance the dismissive readings dominating the secondary literature in the past half-century. Recent work on the dialogues that offer a theory of pleasure &ndash\; <em>Republic</em>\, <em>Timaeus</em>\, <em>Philebus</em> &ndash\; as well as dialogues that contain substantial passages on pleasure and pain &ndash\; <em>Gorgias</em>\, <em>Protagoras</em>\, <em>Phaedo</em> &ndash\; has been more sympathetic and sophisticated than the harshly critical received view. <em>Plato&rsquo\;s Pleasures: New Perspectives</em> will bring together leading scholars on pleasure in ancient philosophy with the hope of generating not only more charitable readings of Plato&rsquo\;s thought on pleasure but also a reassessment of how his thought may inform contemporary debates on this subject.</p>
