Abstract

For Plato in the Philebus, envious jealousy (ÏÎ¸ÏÎ½Î¿Ï) is a state of mind or a disposition of the soul, in which pain is mixed with pleasure, because one affected by envious jealousy is rejoicing at the misfortunes of those around him and being sad at their happiness. For Plato, to reject the envious jealousy is to express his will to establish new relationships between the gods â including universe â and human beings on the one hand, and between human beings on the other, whether individuals or groups. In this context, competition (á¼Î³ÏÎ½), which played such an important role in the culture of ancient Greece, is evacuated, except, perhaps, from the field of virtue.
