Note 107 — Chapter XXXII · PHILEBUS.

Plato, Philêbus, pp. 20 D-E, 61 C, 67 A. αὐταρκεία, &c.

Sydenham, Translation of Philêbus, note, p. 48, observes — “Whether Happiness be to be found in Speculative Wisdom or in Pleasure, or in some other possession or enjoyment, it can be seated nowhere but in the soul. For Happiness has no existence anywhere but where it is felt and known. Now, it is no less certain, that only the soul is sensible of pain and pleasure, than it is, that only the soul is capable of knowledge, and of thinking either foolishly or wisely.”
