Abstract

1 ΦΘ ONO Σ and its related Π A Θ H in Plato and Aristotle MICHAEL J. MILLS Accommodating <p66vos and its related 'TT<x81l to his Doctrine of the Mean presented Aristotle with special difficulties. These I propose to consider by tracing the development of the treatment of (p06vos from the Academy, through the Topics and Rhetoric to the Ethics. Plato In the Philebus q06vos is singled out for special treatment from the list of psychical X1u«1 (or 'TT<x81l) which Plato cites to exemplify pleasures of the soul that are a abyxp«ais or pei(is Xluqs TE xav fi60vijs (47d5-e3).' To illustrate the particular (p06vos he has in mind, he turns to the experience of an audience at a performance of a comedy, an experience which he seems to think particularly difficult to understand but which, once understood, might prove illuminating in other instances (48a8-b6). <M6v(M is admitted to be a Xbuq Tis and the ?6ovwv one who will be found to take pleasure at his neighbours' ills (ilti xaxon Tois Twv 'irE\as fi66pevos, 48bll-12). There follows an argument to prove that self ayvova, in the sense of a false estimation of one's own attributes, be it of material
