Would fulfillment of your desires amount to your vision of a good life? How should one pursue one\u2019s desires? As a starting point, we will look at the view of a character in Plato\u2019s <i>Gorgias<\/i> named Callicles. Callicles seems to view happiness in terms of pleasure and the fulfillment of one\u2019s desires, and extends this to claim that we are happier if we have stronger desires (so long as we are able to fulfill them). Power is the ability to experience maximal pleasure by satisfying our most intense desires, and rhetoric (the ability to persuade others to do what one wants) is the most powerful tool for gaining and exercising power.  Socrates raises a number of critical questions about this vision, and claims that the fundamental choice a person faces in life is between this \"rhetorical\" way of life and the life of philosophy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element
