Philebus

Phi. I understand that more clearly than the earlier statement, Protarchus, so far as the reciprocal relations of the one and the many are concerned, but I still feel the same lack as a little while ago.

Socrates

Soc. Do you mean, Philebus, that you do not see what this has to do with the question?

Philebus

Phi. Yes; that is what Protarchus and I have been trying to discover for a long time.

Socrates

Soc. Really, have you been trying, as you say, for long time to discover it, when it was close to you all the while? 10

Philebus

Phi. How is that?

Socrates

Soc. Was not our discussion from the beginning about wisdom and pleasure and which of them is preferable?

Philebus

Phi. Yes, of course.

Socrates

Soc. And surely we say that each of them is one.

Philebus

Phi. Certainly. 15

Socrates

Soc. This, then, is precisely the question which the previous discussion puts to us: How is each of them one and many, and how is it that they are not immediately infinite, but each possesses a definite number, before the individual phenomena become infinite?
