What is the place of pleasure in the good life? Can pleasure be enjoyed regardless of the consequences? What is pleasure? These questions have been constant since the ancient Greeks. Therefore, this work aims to investigate in what sense it is possible to conceive of pleasure in view of eudaimonia in the search for the Good in the dialogue Philebus. However, we must first turn to the tradition that precedes Plato, since the theme of pleasure is recurrent in Greek thought and, in turn, full of questions that also permeate Platonic philosophy. Thinking about how life should be conducted with a view to the good implies thinking about all the issues that involve the human being, in which pleasure is inseparable.
