The good is twice described in
the Philebus as perfect, self-
sufficient and seeked by all
conscious beings. And the good
does not have a contrary: it is not
the one end of a scale whose evil
would be the other end; it is a
measure on any scale."
Taken from Bernard Suzanne
Plato and his dialogues
Pursuing Goodness or the Good.
