Cropsey, Joseph, "On Pleasure and the Human Good: Plato's Philebus," Interpretation: A Journal of Political Philosophy 16, no. 2 (Winter 1988-89), 167-93.

Excerpt:

Plato’s Philebus is said, under the encouragement of its subtitle, to be about pleasure; but how far it is from being simply about pleasure, or even primarily about pleasure, may be seen from the development of the argument toward and then vastly beyond the problem of species as that problem is brought to sight by the variety concealed within the apparent unity of “pleasure” itself. The discourse unfolds through the themes of finitude and infinity, of mind and cause in the whole, and eventually to the meaning and status of Good.
