Protarchus

Pro. The most perfect of all things, surely, Socrates.

Socrates

Soc. Well, and is the good sufficient?

Protarchus

Pro. Of course; so that it surpasses all other things in sufficiency.

Socrates

Soc. And nothing, I should say, is more certain about it than that every intelligent being pursues it, desires it, wishes to catch and get possession of it, and has no interest in anything in which the good is not included.

Protarchus

Pro. There is no denying that. 15

Socrates

Soc. Let us, then, look at the life of pleasure and the life of wisdom separately and consider and judge them.

Protarchus

Pro. How do you mean?

Socrates

Soc. Let there be no wisdom in the life of pleasure and no pleasure in the life of wisdom. For if either of them is the good, it cannot have need of anything else, and if, either be found to need anything, we can no longer regard it as our true good.

Protarchus

Pro. No, of course not.

Socrates

Soc. Shall we then undertake to test them through you?

Protarchus

Pro. By all means.

Socrates

Soc. Then answer. 5

Protarchus

Pro. Ask.

Socrates

Soc. Would you, Protarchus, be willing to live your whole life in the enjoyment of the greatest pleasures?

Protarchus

Pro. Of course I should.

Socrates

Soc. Would you think you needed anything further, if you were in complete possession of that enjoyment?

Protarchus

Pro. Certainly not. 10

Socrates

Soc. But consider whether you would not have some need of wisdom and intelligence and power of calculating your wants and the like.

Protarchus

Pro. Why should I? If I have enjoyment, I have everything.

Socrates

Soc. Then living thus you would enjoy the greatest pleasures all your life?
