Philebus. Plato

The dialogue "Phileb" is considered one of Plato's later works, since in it we see a combination of several key theories of the thinker. The human soul is immortal, therefore it already knows everything: the theory of reminiscence finds its continuation in all periods of philosophical thought. The combination of different things in the right proportion is a guarantee that we will live in contentment, since reason determines this proportion, an idea that will sound for centuries. The division of all existence into four types, systematization and generalization are the beginnings of a scientific approach to the worldview. And all this - in a condensed form - in a small, but not easy to perceive dialogue.
