In attempting to locate Socrates' position on hedonism, Rudebusch examines the passages in Plato's early dialogues that are the most disputed on the topic. He maintains that Socrates identifies pleasant activity with virtuous activity, describing Socrates' hedonism as one of activity, not sensation. This analysis allows for Socrates to find both virtue and pleasure to be the good, thus solving the textual puzzle and showing the power of Socratic argument in leading human beings toward the good. 606 $aEthics, Ancient 606 $aPleasure 606 $aHedonism 615 0$aEthics, Ancient. 615 0$aPleasure. 615 0$aHedonism. 676 $a183/.2 700 $aRudebusch$b George$f1957-$0779655 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910966102403321 996 $aSocrates, Pleasure and Value$91676692 997 $aUNINA
