Φίληβος Plato

Protarchus
Pro. Yes, certainly.
Socrates
Soc. And are you aware of the condition of the soul at comedies, how there also we have a mixture of pain and pleasure? 5
Protarchus
Pro. I do not quite understand.
Socrates
Soc. Indeed it is by no means easy, Protarchus, to understand such a condition under those circumstances.
Protarchus
Pro. No at least I do not find it so.
Socrates
Soc. Well, then, let us take this under consideration, all the more because of its obscurity; then we can more readily understand the mixture of pain and pleasure in other cases.
Protarchus
Pro. Please go on. 10
Socrates
Soc. Would you say that envy, which was mentioned just now, was a pain of the soul, or not?
Protarchus
Pro. I say it is.
Socrates
Soc. But certainly we see the envious man rejoicing in the misfortunes of his neighbors.
Protarchus
Pro. Yes, very much so.
Socrates
Soc. Surely ignorance is an evil, as is also what we call stupidity. 15
Protarchus
Pro. Surely.
Socrates
Soc. Next, then, consider the nature of the ridiculous.
Protarchus
Pro. Please proceed.
Socrates
Soc. The ridiculous is in its main aspect a kind of vice which gives its name to a condition; and it is that part of vice in general which involves the opposite of the condition mentioned in the inscription at Delphi.
Protarchus
Pro. You mean Know thyself, Socrates? 20
Socrates
Soc. Yes; and the opposite of that, in the language of the inscription, would evidently be not to know oneself at all.
Protarchus
Pro. Of course.
Socrates
Soc. Protarchus, try to divide this into three.
