31504Again, is it single or diverse in its nature?
31504Are not they the reactionaries who, despite the lessons of history, would revert to the days of a dependent, recallable, and hence timid judiciary?
31504Are there any attributes of justice of which we can speak so confidently as being necessary, inherent, and self- evident?
31504But what is this justice, declared to be so great a virtue, so ineffable, so supremely important?
31504But who is to determine the matter?
31504Do nature, society, industry, politics, each have a different criterion?
31504Do we know of any state of society in human or animal life at any time, past or present, of which the contrary of Plato''s statement is true?
31504Do we know or can we know anything certain about justice?
31504Does earlier history or later experience point to any better equipped, more stable, more safe tribunal?
31504Even if society may strive to preserve the inefficient and improvident, should it do so by hampering and restraining those wiser and more capable?
31504Finally, is it a reality or, as Falstaff said of honor, is it after all"a word,""a mere scutcheon?"
31504If mutable, does it change of itself or do men change it?
31504Indeed, Plato represents the sage Socrates as frankly confessing his inability to answer satisfactorily the persistent question"What is justice?"
31504Is it immutable, or does its nature change with changing times and conditions?
31504Is it simply a quality of action or conduct, or, as stated by Ulpian, is it a disposition or state of mind?
31504Is it something above and apart from the will of men, or is it simply a matter of convention among men?
31504Is it the same for all men and races of men or does it differ according to classes and races?
31504Is it universal or local, the same everywhere or is it different in different localities?
31504Is there more than one kind of justice?
31504Still again, and briefly, is justice an inexorable law like the law of gravitation or can its operation have exceptions?
31504Thus interpreted, are we prepared to confute the statement?
31504What do they who use those terms mean by them?
31504Who is to determine what degree of restraint or liberty is necessary to secure this order and harmony, this justice?

37325` And I,''said Brackenbury,` am precious near fifty--''` Just on the other side o''the hedge, eh?
37325` Brackenbury,''cried O''Brady,` what_ are_ you saying? 37325 ` By the way,''cried Brackenbury, as the polite little man was about to leave,` what is your name?''
37325` Can I come in, geentlemans?'' 37325 ` I feel sure,''continued Brackenbury,` that we will be ransomed, but if not you would n''t hang us, would you?

37325` Splendid mansion it looks in daylight, do n''t it?'' 37325 ` Suppose we have a little lark, then, all by ourselves up in this valley-- eh?
37325` Well, what does it matter?'' 37325 ` What does the destruction of the carriage mean, I wonder?''
37325` What is it at all, at all? 37325 ` What means this indignity?''
37325` What?'' 37325 ` Who comes first?''
37325` Why do n''t you speak, eh?'' 37325 ` Yes; well, have you heard anything about us?
37325A bone?"
37325A kind of private picnic?''
37325Am I not right in saying he was a kind of second edition of Robinson Crusoe?
37325And knowing all we do, can we wonder at Harry''s grief?
37325And maybe there wo n''t be much to pay for it either?"
37325And what is it, pray, that blue- jackets will not dare, ay, and_ do_ as well as dare?
37325And why?
37325And you''ll come and see us sometimes, wo n''t you?
37325And_ I_ would n''t either, would you, dear Guvie?"
37325Are the niggers killing you?
37325Are those the crimson clouds that herald the sunset?
37325Are ye takin''leave o''your reason?
37325Are you dead entirely?
37325Black?
37325But bless me, laird, what brings you into the forest at such an hour?"
37325But can you find the head of your bed?''
37325But here,"he cried aloud,"Nanungamanoo, where are you?"
37325But how to get there?
37325But see, what is that stealing out round the point?
37325But stay, will he be able to retain that freedom?
37325But tell me now, I seem to know your face-- have I seen you before?"
37325But tell me, youngster, why did you not explain to the mate the purpose for which you came on board?"
37325But the interior of Africa is very gorgeous too, is it not?"
37325But those books?
37325But was he doing it?
37325But what cared Mahmoud?
37325But what is in that other pack?
37325But why do you sing so soft and low?"
37325But why do you smile?
37325By night or by day?
37325Can Fatherhood cease?
37325Can these savages have invented electricity as a motor power?"
37325Can we wonder that he bent over that faithful Jack, and that the scalding tears fell from his eyes upon the poor dead face?
37325Cold?
37325Could Harry now tell him more of the story of the world?
37325Could we not import these?
37325D''ye want me to go wi''ye?"
37325Dear reader, did ever you consider what a blessing our loving Father has given us in a faithful dog?

37325Do you understand, Mr Nanungamanoo?
37325Eh, Count?
37325Eh?"
37325Five- and- thirty men?
37325From what?
37325Harry would reply,"what_ are_ they to me?
37325Has he brought his feather- bed and his night- cap, and a bottle of hot water to put at his feet?
37325Have I not, I reply, given you horrors enough in this chapter?
37325Have another cigar?''
37325Have the trials of the day been too much for you?
37325Have they smothered you alive?
37325Have ye traps set in the forest?
37325Have you seen a shipwreck?
37325Have you, dear?"
37325Have you?"
37325He is asleep, is he not?
37325He sat down beside his class- mate, and was soon so far recovered as to be able to whisper--"How many did I have?"
37325He took to them very much apparently, and they were both flattered by his attention, for was he not a count, Le Comte Pedro de Dolosa?
37325How do you get there?"
37325How know you, I ask, that He in His mercy has not allowed this_ little_ misfortune to befall us in order to save us from a_ greater_?
37325How or when would the enemy come?
37325How was this to end?
37325How would the average English boy like to trudge o''er hill and dale, through moor and moss and forest, four long miles every morning?
37325I have books, a gun, and a fishing- rod, and I have Eily; what more should I want?"
37325I have known this happen over and over again, and I have asked myself, Who is to blame?
37325If not--''"` You will kill us, eh?''
37325In the loft?"
37325Is he bent and decrepit?
37325Is it leave of your seven senses you''re taking?
37325Is n''t it fun?"
37325It is all up with the_ Bunting_, is it?
37325Mahmoud, Mahmoud, can you wonder if I sometimes forget myself, forget your teaching, and loose grip of our religion?
37325Must have cost a power o''money, eh?''
37325My hero crying?
37325No preparations to hang us, or anything of that sort, is there, Marco?''
37325No room be found for them beneath or above, Nor anywhere in all the universe round?
37325Now look here, did it ever strike you that I had a glass eye?''
37325Now suppose we proceed to investigate still further the contents of your mysterious pack?
37325Now those monster niggers of his, what would hinder half a dozen of them from smothering us, time about, with a feather- bed?
37325Or changefulness mark any counsel of God?
37325Or is it asleep and dreaming you are?''
37325Or the skill of a spider be crushed as a clod?
37325Ordered out?
37325Ought he not to be glad of the freedom he had once more obtained, and make the best of his way to some friendly village or town by the sea- shore?
37325Pity you''re such a rase--''"` A what-- eh?''
37325Seems funny that a boy should carry a Bible with him, does it not?
37325Shall I bury the cock and run away?"
37325Shall I describe it?"
37325Shall I describe them?
37325Shall I rasp you?''
37325Shall a butterfly''s beauty be lost in the dust?
37325She is scudding almost under bare poles-- scudding whither?
37325So far Harry was safe, but would the Indian give the alarm?
37325So you think Mahmoud will shortly come on this way?"
37325So you''ve been looting too, have you?
37325Something to eat?"
37325Sure you locked the door?
37325That''s the ammunition, is it?
37325The birds singing gaily that came at my call, And give me the peace of mind dearer than all?"
37325The noise it made was enough to awaken some one inside, for presently there was a cough, and a voice said--"Who''s there?"
37325The story of Joseph seemed, next to that of Eden''s garden, particularly to interest his hearers, and many an interjection, many a marvelling"Lobo?"
37325There?"
37325They are already armed?"
37325Think you-- can we keep her afloat till we reach Zanzibar?"
37325Three months only?
37325Towsie?"
37325Turban and all?
37325Was Jack really to be trusted?
37325Was he dead?
37325Was it football, tip- cat, or modest marbles?
37325Well, then, first and foremost, how would you like to be a doctor?
37325Well, who''s watch is it?"
37325What amuses you, Walda?"
37325What could the boy''s bent be?
37325What den will poor Raggy do?"
37325What fate was theirs, and what would his own fate be?
37325What for you want to shoot poor Raggy?"
37325What good escaping, only to perish miserably in the wilderness?
37325What have ye in that bag?
37325What is it?"
37325What matter?
37325What mattered a year or two more of wandering?
37325What say you, mates?"
37325What say?
37325What was their game?
37325What was their play?
37325What were his parents doing all this weary time?
37325What''s a guv''niss?
37325What?
37325Where are the horses?''
37325Where are you now?
37325Where is the Eye?
37325Where shall we hide poor massa?
37325Where, Harry often wondered, were his poor men?
37325Whither did his thoughts revert?
37325Whither shall we look?
37325Who comes first?''
37325Who could ever have dreamed that danger lurked in those lovely woods?
37325Who''s afraid?''
37325Why are ye no dressed in the kilt, but in your Sunday braws?"
37325Why not bows and arrows?
37325Why were n''t you here at twelve o''clock, eh?
37325Why, what else can I do?
37325Why?
37325Will he miss?
37325Will he strike?
37325Will you add to it by lending me two of your people to help me as carriers on my march?"
37325Will you come and see the operation?"
37325Would morning never, never come?
37325Would the Somali be true or be treacherous?
37325Would the lion never come?
37325Would the queen of his country be pleased if she were here?
37325Would they never fade?
37325Would you have me forget that also, Mahmoud?"
37325You would like to smoothe him, would n''t you, little boy?
37325You''re not afraid, are you?''
37325_ You_ would n''t hang_ me_ at the yard- arm if you had me on the_ Adelaide_, eh, captain?
37325` Are you asleep, O''Brady?''
37325` Confound it all, even if we do n''t bleed to death right away, what will our wives say to us when we return to them with no more ears than an adder?
37325` What''s this?
37325` What_ is_ the matter, my friend?''
37325and in what formation?
37325did you ever know, O''Brady, that I wore a wig?''
37325did you not come here to stay and talk to me for ever and ever?
37325did you not hear some sound?
37325dry rice?
37325eh?
37325he added, as he looked up,"what have you in your mouth?
37325he exclaimed, in bitterness,"what_ shall_ I do?
37325how would you like to be a clergyman?
37325is it you, Harry?
37325or the Judge be unjust?
37325there will be little dancing in our heads, boy, till we''re full to the hatches with skins and blubber; then we''ll dance, wo n''t we, Wilson?"
37325what an imagination you have, to be sure?"
37325what was coming yonder?
37325what?"
37325where is the glory of war when the fight is fought, when the battle is over, and the victory won?
150''And do not the natures of men and women differ very much indeed?''
150''Lover of wisdom,''''lover of knowledge,''are titles which we may fitly apply to that part of the soul?
150''Sweet Sir,''we will say to him, what think you of things esteemed noble and ignoble?
150-- What defence will you make for us, my good Sir, against any one who offers these objections?
150--How would you answer him?
150A right noble thought; but do you suppose that we shall refrain from asking you what is this highest knowledge?
150A state which is intermediate, and a sort of repose of the soul about either-- that is what you mean?
150Adeimantus added: Has no one told you of the torch- race on horseback in honour of the goddess which will take place in the evening?
150After this manner the democrat was generated out of the oligarch?
150Again, as to the devastation of Hellenic territory or the burning of houses, what is to be the practice?
150Again, has he greater experience of the pleasures of honour, or the lover of honour of the pleasures of wisdom?
150Again, is not the passionate element wholly set on ruling and conquering and getting fame?
150Again, when pleasure ceases, that sort of rest or cessation will be painful?
150All of whom will call one another citizens?
150All that would arise out of his ignorance of the true upper and middle and lower regions?
150Also they are utterly unjust, if we were right in our notion of justice?
150Am I not right?
150Am I not right?
150Am I not right?
150Am I not right?
150Am I not right?
150And O my friend, I said, surely the gods are just?
150And a man will be most likely to care about that which he loves?
150And a narrative it remains both in the speeches which the poet recites from time to time and in the intermediate passages?
150And again, if he is forgetful and retains nothing of what he learns, will he not be an empty vessel?
150And agreeably to this mode of thinking and speaking, were we not saying that they will have their pleasures and pains in common?
150And all arithmetic and calculation have to do with number?
150And also of the mental ones; his soul is to be full of spirit?
150And also to be within and between them?
150And an art requiring as much attention as shoemaking?
150And any difference which arises among them will be regarded by them as discord only-- a quarrel among friends, which is not to be called a war?
150And anything which is infected by any of these evils is made evil, and at last wholly dissolves and dies?
150And are enemies also to receive what we owe to them?
150And are suits decided on any other ground but that a man may neither take what is another''s, nor be deprived of what is his own?
150And are you going to run away before you have fairly taught or learned whether they are true or not?
150And are you stronger than all these?
150And as State is to State in virtue and happiness, so is man in relation to man?
150And as we are to have the best of guardians for our city, must they not be those who have most the character of guardians?
150And both pleasure and pain are motions of the soul, are they not?
150And both should be in harmony?
150And by contracts you mean partnerships?
150And can any one of those many things which are called by particular names be said to be this rather than not to be this?
150And can she or can she not fulfil her own ends when deprived of that excellence?
150And can that which does no evil be a cause of evil?
150And can the just by justice make men unjust, or speaking general can the good by virtue make them bad?
150And can there be anything better for the interests of the State than that the men and women of a State should be as good as possible?
150And can therefore neither be ignorance nor knowledge?
150And can you mention any pursuit of mankind in which the male sex has not all these gifts and qualities in a higher degree than the female?
150And democracy has her own good, of which the insatiable desire brings her to dissolution?
150And do I differ from you, he said, as to the importance of the enquiry?
150And do not good practices lead to virtue, and evil practices to vice?
150And do not the two styles, or the mixture of the two, comprehend all poetry, and every form of expression in words?
150And do the unjust appear to you to be wise and good?
150And do they not educate to perfection young and old, men and women alike, and fashion them after their own hearts?
150And do they not share?
150And do we know what we opine?
150And do you also agree, I said, in describing the dialectician as one who attains a conception of the essence of each thing?
150And do you breed from them all indifferently, or do you take care to breed from the best only?
150And do you consider truth to be akin to proportion or to disproportion?
150And do you imagine, I said, that I am such a madman as to try and cheat, Thrasymachus?
150And do you not know, I said, that all mere opinions are bad, and the best of them blind?
150And do you remember the word of caution which preceded the discussion of them?
150And do you take the oldest or the youngest, or only those of ripe age?
150And do you wish to behold what is blind and crooked and base, when others will tell you of brightness and beauty?
150And does not the latter-- I mean the rebellious principle-- furnish a great variety of materials for imitation?
150And does not the same hold also of the ridiculous?
150And does not the same principle hold in the sciences?
150And does not tyranny spring from democracy in the same manner as democracy from oligarchy-- I mean, after a sort?
150And does the essence of the invariable partake of knowledge in the same degree as of essence?
150And dogs are deteriorated in the good qualities of dogs, and not of horses?
150And each art gives us a particular good and not merely a general one-- medicine, for example, gives us health; navigation, safety at sea, and so on?
150And each of them is such as his like is?
150And even to this are there not exceptions?
150And everything else on the style?
150And food and wisdom are the corresponding satisfactions of either?
150And from being a keeper of the law he is converted into a breaker of it?
150And good counsel is clearly a kind of knowledge, for not by ignorance, but by knowledge, do men counsel well?
150And has not the body itself less of truth and essence than the soul?
150And has not the eye an excellence?
150And has not the soul an excellence also?
150And he is good in as far as he is wise, and bad in as far as he is foolish?
150And he is the best guard of a camp who is best able to steal a march upon the enemy?
150And he is the only one who has wisdom as well as experience?
150And he is to be deemed courageous whose spirit retains in pleasure and in pain the commands of reason about what he ought or ought not to fear?
150And he who is most skilful in preventing or escaping from a disease is best able to create one?
150And he who is not on a voyage has no need of a pilot?
150And he who lives well is blessed and happy, and he who lives ill the reverse of happy?
150And his friends and fellow- citizens will want to use him as he gets older for their own purposes?
150And how am I to convince you, he said, if you are not already convinced by what I have just said; what more can I do for you?
150And how am I to do so?
150And how can one who is thus circumstanced ever become a philosopher?
150And how can we rightly answer that question?
150And how does the son come into being?
150And how is the error to be corrected?
150And how long is this stage of their lives to last?
150And how will they proceed?
150And how would he regard the attempt to gain an advantage over the unjust; would that be considered by him as just or unjust?
150And if care was not taken in the breeding, your dogs and birds would greatly deteriorate?
150And if merchandise is to be carried over the sea, skilful sailors will also be needed, and in considerable numbers?
150And if our youth are to do their work in life, must they not make these graces and harmonies their perpetual aim?
150And if that is true, what sort of general must he have been?
150And if the old man and woman fight for their own, what then, my friend?
150And if the world perceives that what we are saying about him is the truth, will they be angry with philosophy?
150And if there be any State in which rulers and subjects will be agreed as to the question who are to rule, that again will be our State?
150And if they are both known to them, one must be the friend and the other the enemy of the gods, as we admitted from the beginning?
150And if they are to be what we were describing, is there not another quality which they should also possess?
150And if they turn out to be two, is not each of them one and different?
150And if they were able to converse with one another, would they not suppose that they were naming what was actually before them?
150And if we only have a guardian who has this knowledge our State will be perfectly ordered?
150And ignorance and folly are inanitions of the soul?
150And in like manner does the touch adequately perceive the qualities of thickness or thinness, or softness or hardness?
150And in oligarchical States, from the general spread of carelessness and extravagance, men of good family have often been reduced to beggary?
150And in our State what other name besides that of citizens do the people give the rulers?
150And in our opinion the guardians ought to have both these qualities?
150And in such a case what is one to say?
150And in that case they will be right in doing good to the evil and evil to the good?
150And in that interval there has now been discovered something which we call opinion?
150And in the first place, he will honour studies which impress these qualities on his soul and disregard others?
150And in the laying of bricks and stones is the just man a more useful or better partner than the builder?
150And in what sort of actions or with a view to what result is the just man most able to do harm to his enemy and good to his friends?
150And inasmuch as they are two, each of them is one?
150And is he likely to be brave who has no spirit, whether horse or dog or any other animal?
150And is he not truly good?
150And is justice dimmer in the individual, and is her form different, or is she the same which we found her to be in the State?
150And is not a State larger than an individual?
150And is not a similar method to be pursued about the virtues, which are also four in number?
150And is not life to be reckoned among the ends of the soul?
150And is not that farthest from reason which is at the greatest distance from law and order?
150And is not the love of learning the love of wisdom, which is philosophy?
150And is not the unjust like the wise and good and the just unlike them?
150And is not their humanity to the condemned in some cases quite charming?
150And is not this involuntary deprivation caused either by theft, or force, or enchantment?
150And is not this the reason why of old love has been called a tyrant?
150And is opinion also a faculty?
150And is our theory a worse theory because we are unable to prove the possibility of a city being ordered in the manner described?
150And is the art of war one of those arts in which she can or can not share?
150And is the city which is under a tyrant rich or poor?
150And is the satisfaction derived from that which has less or from that which has more existence the truer?
150And is there any greater or keener pleasure than that of sensual love?
150And is there any man in whom you will find more of this sort of misery than in the tyrannical man, who is in a fury of passions and desires?
150And is there anything more akin to wisdom than truth?
150And is this confined to the sight only, or does it extend to the hearing also, relating in fact to what we term poetry?
150And it has this particular quality because it has an object of a particular kind; and this is true of the other arts and sciences?
150And just actions cause justice, and unjust actions cause injustice?
150And literature may be either true or false?
150And living in this way we shall have much greater need of physicians than before?
150And luxury and softness are blamed, because they relax and weaken this same creature, and make a coward of him?
150And may not the many which are doubles be also halves?--doubles, that is, of one thing, and halves of another?
150And may we not rightly call such men treacherous?
150And may we not say of the philosopher that he is a lover, not of a part of wisdom only, but of the whole?
150And may we not say the same of all things?
150And may we not say, Adeimantus, that the most gifted minds, when they are ill- educated, become pre- eminently bad?
150And men are blamed for pride and bad temper when the lion and serpent element in them disproportionately grows and gains strength?
150And might a man be thirsty, and yet unwilling to drink?
150And must not an animal be a lover of learning who determines what he likes and dislikes by the test of knowledge and ignorance?
150And must not such a State and such a man be always full of fear?
150And must not the like happen with the spirited or passionate element of the soul?
150And must not the soul be perplexed at this intimation which the sense gives of a hard which is also soft?
150And must not the tyrannical man be like the tyrannical, State, and the democratical man like the democratical State; and the same of the others?
150And must not we swim and try to reach the shore: we will hope that Arion''s dolphin or some other miraculous help may save us?
150And narration may be either simple narration, or imitation, or a union of the two?
150And next, how does he live?
150And next, shall we enquire whether the kindred science also concerns us?
150And no good thing is hurtful?
150And not- being is not one thing but, properly speaking, nothing?
150And now tell me, I conjure you, has not imitation been shown by us to be concerned with that which is thrice removed from the truth?
150And now what is their manner of life, and what sort of a government have they?
150And now why do you not me?
150And now, Adeimantus, is our State matured and perfected?
150And of individuals who consort with the mob and seek to please them?
150And of the objects which are being carried in like manner they would only see the shadows?
150And of the pleasures of love, and all other pleasures, the same holds good?
150And of the unjust may not the opposite be supposed?
150And of truth in the same degree?
150And once more, the inharmonious and unseemly nature can only tend to disproportion?
150And one feature they will erase, and another they will put in, they have made the ways of men, as far as possible, agreeable to the ways of God?
150And one woman has a turn for gymnastic and military exercises, and another is unwarlike and hates gymnastics?
150And one woman is a philosopher, and another is an enemy of philosophy; one has spirit, and another is without spirit?
150And opinion is to have an opinion?
150And ought not the same natures to have the same pursuits?
150And our guardian is both warrior and philosopher?
150And reasoning is peculiarly his instrument?
150And shall I add,''whether seen or unseen by gods and men''?
150And shall we proceed to get rid of the weepings and wailings of famous men?
150And shall we receive into our State all the three styles, or one only of the two unmixed styles?
150And should an immortal being seriously think of this little space rather than of the whole?
150And should we not enquire what sort of knowledge has the power of effecting such a change?
150And so of all the other things;--justice is useful when they are useless, and useless when they are useful?
150And so of the other senses; do they give perfect intimations of such matters?
150And so they will be drawn by a necessity of their natures to have intercourse with each other-- necessity is not too strong a word, I think?
150And so tyranny naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme form of liberty?
150And such a pilot and ruler will provide and prescribe for the interest of the sailor who is under him, and not for his own or the ruler''s interest?
150And suppose injustice abiding in a single person, would your wisdom say that she loses or that she retains her natural power?
150And suppose we make astronomy the third-- what do you say?
150And surely, he said, this occurs notably in the case of one; for we see the same thing to be both one and infinite in multitude?
150And that human virtue is justice?
150And that others should approve of what we approve, is no miracle or impossibility?
150And that to which an end is appointed has also an excellence?
150And that which hurts not does no evil?
150And that which is not hurtful hurts not?
150And that which is opposed to them is one of the inferior principles of the soul?
150And the State which is enslaved under a tyrant is utterly incapable of acting voluntarily?
150And the anticipations of future pleasures and pains are of a like nature?
150And the avaricious, I said, is the oligarchical youth?
150And the better part of the soul is likely to be that which trusts to measure and calculation?
150And the citizens being thus agreed among themselves, in which class will temperance be found-- in the rulers or in the subjects?
150And the country which was enough to support the original inhabitants will be too small now, and not enough?
150And the ear has an end and an excellence also?
150And the end or use of a horse or of anything would be that which could not be accomplished, or not so well accomplished, by any other thing?
150And the fairest is also the loveliest?
150And the forbidding principle is derived from reason, and that which bids and attracts proceeds from passion and disease?
150And the friend he regards and describes as one in whom he has an interest, and the other as a stranger in whom he has no interest?
150And the good is advantageous?
150And the government is the ruling power in each state?
150And the greater the interval which separates them from philosophy and reason, the more strange and illusive will be the pleasure?
150And the greatest degree of evil- doing to one''s own city would be termed by you injustice?
150And the harmonious soul is both temperate and courageous?
150And the higher the duties of the guardian, I said, the more time, and skill, and art, and application will be needed by him?
150And the individual will be acknowledged by us to be just in the same way in which the State is just?
150And the inharmonious is cowardly and boorish?
150And the insatiable desire of wealth and the neglect of all other things for the sake of money- getting was also the ruin of oligarchy?
150And the interest of any art is the perfection of it-- this and nothing else?
150And the just is the good?
150And the kinds of knowledge in a State are many and diverse?
150And the knowing is wise?
150And the laws which they make must be obeyed by their subjects,--and that is what you call justice?
150And the lover of honour-- what will be his opinion?
150And the lustful and tyrannical desires are, as we saw, at the greatest distance?
150And the man who has the spirit of harmony will be most in love with the loveliest; but he will not love him who is of an inharmonious soul?
150And the melody and rhythm will depend upon the words?
150And the more detestable his actions are to the citizens the more satellites and the greater devotion in them will he require?
150And the much greater to the much less?
150And the new government which thus arises will be of a form intermediate between oligarchy and aristocracy?
150And the oligarch is third from the royal; since we count as one royal and aristocratical?
150And the painter too is, as I conceive, just such another-- a creator of appearances, is he not?
150And the persons whose property is taken from them are compelled to defend themselves before the people as they best can?
150And the pilot likewise, in the strict sense of the term, is a ruler of sailors and not a mere sailor?
150And the pilot-- that is to say, the true pilot-- is he a captain of sailors or a mere sailor?
150And the possibility has been acknowledged?
150And the power which the eye possesses is a sort of effluence which is dispensed from the sun?
150And the reason is that each part of him is doing its own business, whether in ruling or being ruled?
150And the reason of this, over and above the general constitution of the State, will be that the guardians will have a community of women and children?
150And the reason why the good are useless has now been explained?
150And the result will be that he becomes a worse potter?
150And the royal and orderly desires are nearest?
150And the same is true of all other things; they have each of them an end and a special excellence?
150And the same observation will apply to all other things?
150And the same of horses and animals in general?
150And the sometime greater to the sometime less, and the greater that is to be to the less that is to be?
150And the tragic poet is an imitator, and therefore, like all other imitators, he is thrice removed from the king and from the truth?
150And the tyrannical soul must be always poor and insatiable?
150And the unjust is good and wise, and the just is neither?
150And the unjust man will strive and struggle to obtain more than the unjust man or action, in order that he may have more than all?
150And the virtue which enters into this competition is justice?
150And the wise is good?
150And the work of the painter is a third?
150And the worker in leather and brass will make them?
150And the young should be trained in both kinds, and we begin with the false?
150And then, although they may have no desire of change, the others charge them with plotting against the people and being friends of oligarchy?
150And there are three kinds of pleasure, which are their several objects?
150And there is a neutral state which is neither pleasure nor pain?
150And therefore he will not sorrow for his departed friend as though he had suffered anything terrible?
150And therefore philosophers must inevitably fall under the censure of the world?
150And therefore the cause of well- being?
150And therefore they are likely to do harm to our young men-- you would agree with me there?
150And therefore to acknowledge that bad and good are the same?
150And they appear to lead the mind towards truth?
150And they will place them under the command of experienced veterans who will be their leaders and teachers?
150And they will take them on the safe expeditions and be cautious about the dangerous ones?
150And things great and small, heavy and light, as they are termed, will not be denoted by these any more than by the opposite names?
150And this assimilation of himself to another, either by the use of voice or gesture, is the imitation of the person whose character he assumes?
150And this is because injustice creates divisions and hatreds and fighting, and justice imparts harmony and friendship; is not that true, Thrasymachus?
150And this is equally true of imitation; no one man can imitate many things as well as he would imitate a single one?
150And this is what the arts of music and gymnastic, when present in such manner as we have described, will accomplish?
150And those who govern ought not to be lovers of the task?
150And to this end they ought to be wise and efficient, and to have a special care of the State?
150And to which class do unity and number belong?
150And was I not right, Adeimantus?
150And we have admitted that justice is the excellence of the soul, and injustice the defect of the soul?
150And we have admitted, I said, that the good of each art is specially confined to the art?
150And what are these?
150And what do the Muses say next?
150And what do the rulers call one another in other States?
150And what do the rulers call the people?
150And what do they call them in other States?
150And what do they receive of men?
150And what do you say of lovers of wine?
150And what do you say to his receiving the right hand of fellowship?
150And what do you think of a second principle?
150And what does the judge affirm to be the life which is next, and the pleasure which is next?
150And what due or proper thing is given by cookery, and to what?
150And what happens?
150And what in ours?
150And what is knowledge, and among whom is it found?
150And what is that which justice gives, and to whom?
150And what is the faculty in man to which imitation is addressed?
150And what is the name which the city derives from the possession of this sort of knowledge?
150And what is the next question?
150And what is the organ with which we see the visible things?
150And what is the prime of life?
150And what is your view about them?
150And what manner of government do you term oligarchy?
150And what may that be?
150And what of passion, or spirit?
150And what of the ignorant?
150And what of the maker of the bed?
150And what shall be their education?
150And what shall we say about men?
150And what shall we say of the carpenter-- is not he also the maker of the bed?
150And what similar use or power of acquisition has justice in time of peace?
150And what then would you say?
150And what would you say of the physician?
150And when these fail?
150And when they meet in private will not people be saying to one another''Our warriors are not good for much''?
150And when truth is the captain, we can not suspect any evil of the band which he leads?
150And when you see the same evils in the tyrannical man, what do you say of him?
150And when you speak of music, do you include literature or not?
150And when you want to buy a ship, the shipwright or the pilot would be better?
150And where do you find them?
150And where freedom is, the individual is clearly able to order for himself his own life as he pleases?
150And which are the harmonies expressive of sorrow?
150And which are the soft or drinking harmonies?
150And which are these two sorts?
150And which is wise and which is foolish?
150And which method do I understand you to prefer?
150And which sort of life, Glaucon, do you prefer?
150And which, I said, of the gods in heaven would you say was the lord of this element?
150And whichever of these qualities we find in the State, the one which is not found will be the residue?
150And who are the devoted band, and where will he procure them?
150And who is best able to do good to his friends and evil to his enemies in time of sickness?
150And why, sillybillies, do you knock under to one another?
150And will any one say that he is not a miserable caitiff who remorselessly sells his own divine being to that which is most godless and detestable?
150And will he then change himself for the better and fairer, or for the worse and more unsightly?
150And will not a true astronomer have the same feeling when he looks at the movements of the stars?
150And will not he who has been shown to be the wickedest, be also the most miserable?
150And will not men who are injured be deteriorated in that which is the proper virtue of man?
150And will not the bravest and wisest soul be least confused or deranged by any external influence?
150And will not the city, which you are founding, be an Hellenic city?
150And will not the words and the character of the style depend on the temper of the soul?
150And will not their wives be the best women?
150And will the habit of body of our ordinary athletes be suited to them?
150And will the love of a lie be any part of a philosopher''s nature?
150And will there be in our city more of these true guardians or more smiths?
150And will they be a class which is rarely found?
150And will they not be lovers of Hellas, and think of Hellas as their own land, and share in the common temples?
150And will you be so very good as to answer one more question?
150And will you have a work better done when the workman has many occupations, or when he has only one?
150And with the hearing, I said, we hear, and with the other senses perceive the other objects of sense?
150And would he try to go beyond just action?
150And would not a really good education furnish the best safeguard?
150And would you call justice vice?
150And would you say that the soul of such an one is the soul of a freeman, or of a slave?
150And yet not so well as with a pruning- hook made for the purpose?
150And yet there is a sense in which the painter also creates a bed?
150And yet you were acknowledging a little while ago that knowledge is not the same as opinion?
150And yet, as you see, there are freemen as well as masters in such a State?
150And you also said that the lust will not go beyond his like but his unlike?
150And you are aware too that the latter can not explain what they mean by knowledge, but are obliged after all to say knowledge of the good?
150And you know that a man who is deranged and not right in his mind, will fancy that he is able to rule, not only over men, but also over the gods?
150And you may further imagine that his instructor is pointing to the objects as they pass and requiring him to name them,--will he not be perplexed?
150And you placed astronomy next, and then you made a step backward?
150And you suppose that I ask these questions with any design of injuring you in the argument?
150And you would say the same of the conception of the good?
150And you would say the same sort of thing of the physician?
150And, conversely, that which has less of truth will also have less of essence?
150Any affinity to wantonness and intemperance?
150Any more than heat can produce cold?
150Any more than they can be rhapsodists and actors at once?
150Are not necessary pleasures those of which we can not get rid, and of which the satisfaction is a benefit to us?
150Are not the chief elements of temperance, speaking generally, obedience to commanders and self- control in sensual pleasures?
150Are not the public who say these things the greatest of all Sophists?
150Are not these functions proper to the soul, and can they rightly be assigned to any other?
150Are you not aware, I said, that the soul of man is immortal and imperishable?
150Are you satisfied then that the quality which makes such men and such states is justice, or do you hope to discover some other?
150As being the same with knowledge, or another faculty?
150As they are or as they appear?
150At any rate you can tell that a song or ode has three parts-- the words, the melody, and the rhythm; that degree of knowledge I may presuppose?
150At what age?
150BOOK IX SOCRATES- ADEIMANTUS LAST of all comes the tyrannical man; about whom we have once more to ask, how is he formed out of the democratical?
150Because I want to know in which of the three classes you would place justice?
150Because it has a particular quality which no other has?
150Beds, then, are of three kinds, and there are three artists who superintend them: God, the maker of the bed, and the painter?
150Beginning with the State, I replied, would you say that a city which is governed by a tyrant is free or enslaved?
150Being is the sphere or subject- matter of knowledge, and knowledge is to know the nature of being?
150But again, will they tell us that such a nature, placed under favourable circumstances, will not be perfectly good and wise if any ever was?
150But although the gods are themselves unchangeable, still by witchcraft and deception they may make us think that they appear in various forms?
150But are not these spirited natures apt to be savage with one another, and with everybody else?
150But are the rulers of states absolutely infallible, or are they sometimes liable to err?
150But can any of these reasons apply to God?
150But can that which is neither become both?
150But can the musician by his art make men unmusical?
150But can you persuade us, if we refuse to listen to you?
150But can you tell me of any other suitable study?
150But can you use different animals for the same purpose, unless they are bred and fed in the same way?
150But did we not say, Thrasymachus, that the unjust goes beyond both his like and unlike?
150But do you imagine that men who are unable to give and take a reason will have the knowledge which we require of them?
150But do you know whom I think good?
150But do you mean to say that this is not the opinion of the multitude?
150But do you not admire, I said, the coolness and dexterity of these ready ministers of political corruption?
150But do you observe the reason of this?
150But do you see, he rejoined, how many we are?
150But does he therefore confer no benefit when he works for nothing?
150But does the painter know the right form of the bit and reins?
150But have you remarked that sight is by far the most costly and complex piece of workmanship which the artificer of the senses ever contrived?
150But he may have friends who are senseless or mad?
150But he would claim to exceed the non- musician?
150But he would wish to go beyond the non- physician?
150But how is the image applicable to the disciples of philosophy?
150But how will they draw out the plan of which you are speaking?
150But how will they know who are fathers and daughters, and so on?
150But if he were taken back again he would imagine, and truly imagine, that he was descending?
150But if so, the tyrant will live most unpleasantly, and the king most pleasantly?
150But if so, the unjust will be the enemy of the gods, and the just will be their friend?
150But if they abstained from injuring one another, then they might act together better?
150But if they are to be courageous, must they not learn other lessons besides these, and lessons of such a kind as will take away the fear of death?
150But is not this unjust?
150But is not war an art?
150But is opinion to be sought without and beyond either of them, in a greater clearness than knowledge, or in a greater darkness than ignorance?
150But is the just man or the skilful player a more useful and better partner at a game of draughts?
150But is there not another name which people give to their rulers in other States?
150But is this equally true of the greatness and smallness of the fingers?
150But let me ask you another question: Has excess of pleasure any affinity to temperance?
150But may he not change and transform himself?
150But next, what shall we say of their food; for the men are in training for the great contest of all-- are they not?
150But ought the just to injure any one at all?
150But ought we to attempt to construct one?
150But shall we be right in getting rid of them?
150But suppose that he were to retort,''Thrasymachus, what do you mean?
150But surely God and the things of God are in every way perfect?
150But surely, Thrasymachus, the arts are the superiors and rulers of their own subjects?
150But that which is neither was just now shown to be rest and not motion, and in a mean between them?
150But the condiments are only necessary in so far as they are good for health?
150But the good are just and would not do an injustice?
150But the hero who has distinguished himself, what shall be done to him?
150But the soul which can not be destroyed by an evil, whether inherent or external, must exist for ever, and if existing for ever, must be immortal?
150But those who see the absolute and eternal and immutable may be said to know, and not to have opinion only?
150But to whom we are to assign these studies, and in what way they are to be assigned, are questions which remain to be considered?
150But we should like to ask him a question: Does he who has knowledge know something or nothing?
150But were we not saying that such a contradiction is the same faculty can not have contrary opinions at the same time about the same thing?
150But what branch of knowledge is there, my dear Glaucon, which is of the desired nature; since all the useful arts were reckoned mean by us?
150But what do you mean by the highest of all knowledge?
150But what do you say of music, which also entered to a certain extent into our former scheme?
150But what do you say to flute- makers and flute- players?
150But what if I give you an answer about justice other and better, he said, than any of these?
150But what if there are no gods?
150But what is the next step?
150But what ought to be their course?
150But what would you have, Glaucon?
150But when a man is well, my dear Polemarchus, there is no need of a physician?
150But when is this fault committed?
150But when they are directed towards objects on which the sun shines, they see clearly and there is sight in them?
150But where are the two?
150But where, amid all this, is justice?
150But which stories do you mean, he said; and what fault do you find with them?
150But why do you ask?
150But why do you ask?
150But why should we dispute about names when we have realities of such importance to consider?
150But will he have no sorrow, or shall we say that although he can not help sorrowing, he will moderate his sorrow?
150But will he not desire to get them on the spot?
150But will the imitator have either?
150But will you let me assume, without reciting them, that these things are true?
150But would any of your guardians think or speak of any other guardian as a stranger?
150But would you call the painter a creator and maker?
150But you can cut off a vine- branch with a dagger or with a chisel, and in many other ways?
150But you see that without the addition of some other nature there is no seeing or being seen?
150But, if Homer never did any public service, was he privately a guide or teacher of any?
150By heaven, would not such an one be a rare educator?
150Can a man help imitating that with which he holds reverential converse?
150Can any man be courageous who has the fear of death in him?
150Can any other origin of a State be imagined?
150Can he have an opinion which is an opinion about nothing?
150Can sight adequately perceive them?
150Can the same nature be a lover of wisdom and a lover of falsehood?
150Can there be any greater evil than discord and distraction and plurality where unity ought to reign?
150Can they have a better place than between being and not- being?
150Can we any longer doubt, then, that the miser and money- maker answers to the oligarchical State?
150Can we deny that a warrior should have a knowledge of arithmetic?
150Can we suppose that he is ignorant of antiquity, and therefore has recourse to invention?
150Can you tell me what imitation is?
150Can you tell me whence I derive this inference?
150Capital, I said; but let me ask you once more: Shall they be a family in name only; or shall they in all their actions be true to the name?
150Certainly, the same principle holds; but why does this involve any particular skill?
150Deteriorated, that is to say, in the good qualities of horses, not of dogs?
150Did this never strike you as curious?
150Did you ever hear any of them which were not?
150Did you hear all the advantages of the unjust which Thrasymachus was rehearsing?
150Did you never hear it?
150Did you never observe in the arts how the potters''boys look on and help, long before they touch the wheel?
150Do I take you with me?
150Do they by attaching to the soul and inhering in her at last bring her to death, and so separate her from the body?
150Do we admit the existence of opinion?
150Do you agree?
150Do you know of any other?
150Do you know where you will have to look if you want to discover his rogueries?
150Do you know, I said, that governments vary as the dispositions of men vary, and that there must be as many of the one as there are of the other?
150Do you mean that there is no such maker or creator, or that in one sense there might be a maker of all these things but in another not?
150Do you mean, for example, that he who is mistaken about the sick is a physician in that he is mistaken?
150Do you not know that all this is but the prelude to the actual strain which we have to learn?
150Do you not know, I said, that the true lie, if such an expression may be allowed, is hated of gods and men?
150Do you not remark, I said, how great is the evil which dialectic has introduced?
150Do you not see them doing the same?
150Do you observe that we were not far wrong in our guess that temperance was a sort of harmony?
150Do you remember?
150Do you see that there is a way in which you could make them all yourself?
150Do you suppose that I call him who is mistaken the stronger at the time when he is mistaken?
150Do you think it right that Hellenes should enslave Hellenic States, or allow others to enslave them, if they can help?
150Do you think that the possession of all other things is of any value if we do not possess the good?
150Do you think that there is anything so very unnatural or inexcusable in their case?
150Do you understand me?
150Does he not call the other pleasures necessary, under the idea that if there were no necessity for them, he would rather not have them?
150Does not like always attract like?
150Does not the practice of despoiling an enemy afford an excuse for not facing the battle?
150Does not the timocratical man change into the oligarchical on this wise?
150Does that look well?
150Does the injustice or other evil which exists in the soul waste and consume her?
150Does the just man try to gain any advantage over the just?
150Each of them, I said, is such as his like is?
150Except a city?--or would you include a city?
150First of all, in regard to slavery?
150First you began with a geometry of plane surfaces?
150First, then, they resemble one another in the value which they set upon wealth?
150For example, I said, can the same thing be at rest and in motion at the same time in the same part?
150For what purpose do you conceive that we have come here, said Thrasymachus,--to look for gold, or to hear discourse?
150For which the art has to consider and provide?
150For you surely would not regard the skilled mathematician as a dialectician?
150Further, I said, has not a drunken man also the spirit of a tyrant?
150Further, the very faculty which is the instrument of judgment is not possessed by the covetous or ambitious man, but only by the philosopher?
150Further, there can be no doubt that a work is spoilt when not done at the right time?
150God forbid, I replied; but may I ask you to consider the image in another point of view?
150Good, I said; then you call him who is third in the descent from nature an imitator?
150Has he not, I said, an occupation; and what profit would there be in his life if he were deprived of his occupation?
150Has not that been admitted?
150Has not the intemperate been censured of old, because in him the huge multiform monster is allowed to be too much at large?
150Have I clearly explained the class which I mean?
150Have we not here a picture of his way of life?
150Having effected this, they will proceed to trace an outline of the constitution?
150He can hardly avoid saying yes-- can he now?
150He looked at me in astonishment, and said: No, by heaven: And are you really prepared to maintain this?
150He mentioned that he was present when one of the spirits asked another,''Where is Ardiaeus the Great?''
150He said: Who then are the true philosophers?
150He who has an opinion has an opinion about some one thing?
150He will grow more and more indolent and careless?
150His experience, then, will enable him to judge better than any one?
150How can that be?
150How can that be?
150How can there be?
150How can they, he said, if they are blind and can not see?
150How can they, he said, when they are not allowed to apply their minds to the callings of any of these?
150How can we?
150How cast off?
150How do they act?
150How do you distinguish them?
150How do you mean?
150How do you mean?
150How do you mean?
150How do you mean?
150How do you mean?
150How do you mean?
150How do you mean?
150How do you mean?
150How do you mean?
150How many?
150How so?
150How so?
150How so?
150How so?
150How so?
150How so?
150How so?
150How so?
150How so?
150How so?
150How then does a protector begin to change into a tyrant?
150How was that?
150How well I remember the aged poet Sophocles, when in answer to the question, How does love suit with age, Sophocles,--are you still the man you were?
150How will they proceed?
150How would they address us?
150How, then, can we be right in supposing that the absence of pain is pleasure, or that the absence of pleasure is pain?
150How?
150How?
150How?
150How?
150How?
150I am sure that I should be contented-- will not you?
150I assume, I said, that the tyrant is in the third place from the oligarch; the democrat was in the middle?
150I dare say, Glaucon, that you are as much charmed by her as I am, especially when she appears in Homer?
150I do not know, do you?
150I might say the same of the ears; when deprived of their own proper excellence they can not fulfil their end?
150I presume then that you are going to make one of the interdicted answers?
150I proceeded to ask: When two things, a greater and less, are called by the same name, are they like or unlike in so far as they are called the same?
150I repeated, Why am I especially not to be let off?
150I replied; and if we asked him what due or proper thing is given by medicine, and to whom, what answer do you think that he would make to us?
150I said; how shall we find a gentle nature which has also a great spirit, for the one is the contradiction of the other?
150I said; the prelude or what?
150I should like to know whether you have the same notion which I have of this study?
150I suppose that you would call justice virtue and injustice vice?
150I want to know whether ideals are ever fully realised in language?
150I will explain: The body which is large when seen near, appears small when seen at a distance?
150I will proceed by asking a question: Would you not say that a horse has some end?
150I will; and first tell me, Do you admit that it is just or subjects to obey their rulers?
150If wealth and gain were the criterion, then the praise or blame of the lover of gain would surely be the most trustworthy?
150Imitation is only a kind of play or sport, and the tragic poets, whether they write in iambic or in Heroic verse, are imitators in the highest degree?
150In prescribing meats and drinks would he wish to go beyond another physician or beyond the practice of medicine?
150In the first place, are they not free; and is not the city full of freedom and frankness-- a man may say and do what he likes?
150In the next place our youth must be temperate?
150In these cases a man is not compelled to ask of thought the question, what is a finger?
150In what manner?
150In what manner?
150In what particulars?
150In what point of view?
150In what respect do you mean?
150In what respect?
150In what respects?
150In what way make allowance?
150In what way shown?
150In what way, then, will our city be moved, and in what manner the two classes of auxiliaries and rulers disagree among themselves or with one another?
150In what way?
150Indeed, Thrasymachus, and do I really appear to you to argue like an informer?
150Is any better than experience and wisdom and reason?
150Is he not a true image of the State which he represents?
150Is it a third, or akin to one of the preceding?
150Is it not on this wise?--The good at which such a State alms is to become as rich as possible, a desire which is insatiable?
150Is not Polemarchus your heir?
150Is not his case utterly miserable?
150Is not that still more disgraceful?
150Is not that true, Thrasymachus?
150Is not the Republic the vehicle of three or four great truths which, to Plato''s own mind, are most naturally represented in the form of the State?
150Is not the noble that which subjects the beast to the man, or rather to the god in man; and the ignoble that which subjects the man to the beast?''
150Is not the noble youth very like a well- bred dog in respect of guarding and watching?
150Is not this the case?
150Is not this the way-- he is the son of the miserly and oligarchical father who has trained him in his own habits?
150Is not this true?
150Is not this unavoidable?
150Is not to have lost the truth an evil, and to possess the truth a good?
150Is that true?
150Is there any State in which you will find more of lamentation and sorrow and groaning and pain?
150Is there any city which he might name?
150Is there anything more?
150Is there not also a second class of goods, such as knowledge, sight, health, which are desirable not only in themselves, but also for their results?
150It follows therefore that the good is not the cause of all things, but of the good only?
150It may also be called temperate, and for the same reasons?
150Italy and Sicily boast of Charondas, and there is Solon who is renowned among us; but what city has anything to say about you?''
150Justice and health of mind will be of the company, and temperance will follow after?
150Labouring in vain, he must end in hating himself and his fruitless occupation?
150Last comes the lover of gain?
150Let me ask you a question: Are not the several arts different, by reason of their each having a separate function?
150Let me explain: Can you see, except with the eye?
150Let us take any common instance; there are beds and tables in the world-- plenty of them, are there not?
150Like husbandry for the acquisition of corn?
150Like ourselves, I replied; and they see only their own shadows, or the shadows of one another, which the fire throws on the opposite wall of the cave?
150Look at the matter thus:--Hunger, thirst, and the like, are inanitions of the bodily state?
150May I ask, Cephalus, whether your fortune was for the most part inherited or acquired by you?
150May I have the pleasure, he said, of hearing your opinion?
150May I suppose that you have this distinction of the visible and intelligible fixed in your mind?
150May it not be defined as a period of about twenty years in a woman''s life, and thirty in a man''s?
150May not the relation of sight to this deity be described as follows?
150May there not be the alternative, I said, that we may persuade you to let us go?
150May we not be satisfied with that?
150May we not say that these desires spend, and that the others make money because they conduce to production?
150May we not say that this is the end of a pruning- hook?
150May we say so, then?
150Must he not either perish at the hands of his enemies, or from being a man become a wolf-- that is, a tyrant?
150Must we not ask who are to be rulers and who subjects?
150Must we not then infer that the individual is wise in the same way, and in virtue of the same quality which makes the State wise?
150My question is only whether the just man, while refusing to have more than another just man, would wish and claim to have more than the unjust?
150Need I ask again whether the eye has an end?
150Neither may they imitate smiths or other artificers, or oarsmen, or boatswains, or the like?
150Neither must they represent slaves, male or female, performing the offices of slaves?
150Neither sight nor the eye in which sight resides is the sun?
150Neither will he ever break faith where there have been oaths or agreements?
150Neither would you approve of the delicacies, as they are thought, of Athenian confectionery?
150Neither, I said, can there be any question that the guardian who is to keep anything should have eyes rather than no eyes?
150Next as to the slain; ought the conquerors, I said, to take anything but their armour?
150Next, as to war; what are to be the relations of your soldiers to one another and to their enemies?
150Next, how shall our soldiers treat their enemies?
150Next, we shall ask our opponent how, in reference to any of the pursuits or arts of civic life, the nature of a woman differs from that of a man?
150No one will be less likely to commit adultery, or to dishonour his father and mother, or to fall in his religious duties?
150No, indeed, I replied; and the same is true of most, if not all, the other senses-- you would not say that any of them requires such an addition?
150Nor by reason of a knowledge which advises about brazen pots, I said, nor as possessing any other similar knowledge?
150Nor can the good harm any one?
150Nor may they imitate the neighing of horses, the bellowing of bulls, the murmur of rivers and roll of the ocean, thunder, and all that sort of thing?
150Nor would you say that medicine is the art of receiving pay because a man takes fees when he is engaged in healing?
150Nor yet by reason of a knowledge which cultivates the earth; that would give the city the name of agricultural?
150Nor, if a man is to be in condition, would you allow him to have a Corinthian girl as his fair friend?
150Not to mention the importers and exporters, who are called merchants?
150Now are we to maintain that all these and any who have similar tastes, as well as the professors of quite minor arts, are philosophers?
150Now can we be right in praising and admiring another who is doing that which any one of us would abominate and be ashamed of in his own person?
150Now in vessels which are in a state of mutiny and by sailors who are mutineers, how will the true pilot be regarded?
150Now what man answers to this form of government- how did he come into being, and what is he like?
150Now what opinion of any other Sophist, or of any private person, can be expected to overcome in such an unequal contest?
150Now you understand me?
150Now, I beseech you, do tell me, have you ever attended to their pairing and breeding?
150Now, I said, every art has an interest?
150Now, are not the best husbandmen those who are most devoted to husbandry?
150Now, can we find justice without troubling ourselves about temperance?
150Now, in such a State, can liberty have any limit?
150O my friend, is not that so?
150Of course you know that ambition and avarice are held to be, as indeed they are, a disgrace?
150Of not- being, ignorance was assumed to be the necessary correlative; of being, knowledge?
150Of the painter we say that he will paint reins, and he will paint a bit?
150Of the three individuals, which has the greatest experience of all the pleasures which we enumerated?
150Of what kind?
150Of what nature are you speaking?
150Of what nature?
150Of what sort?
150Of what tales are you speaking?
150On what principle, then, shall we any longer choose justice rather than the worst injustice?
150Once more let me ask: Does he who desires any class of goods, desire the whole class or a part only?
150Once more then, O my friend, we have alighted upon an easy question-- whether the soul has these three principles or not?
150One of them is ready to follow the guidance of the law?
150One principle prevails in the souls of one class of men, another in others, as may happen?
150One woman has a gift of healing, another not; one is a musician, and another has no music in her nature?
150Or any affinity to virtue in general?
150Or because a man is in good health when he receives pay you would not say that the art of payment is medicine?
150Or can such an one account death fearful?
150Or did he only seem to be a member of the ruling body, although in truth he was neither ruler nor subject, but just a spendthrift?
150Or drought moisture?
150Or have the arts to look only after their own interests?
150Or hear, except with the ear?
150Or if honour or victory or courage, in that case the judgement of the ambitious or pugnacious would be the truest?
150Or like shoemaking for the acquisition of shoes,--that is what you mean?
150Or perhaps he may tell a lie because he is afraid of enemies?
150Or shall I guess for you?
150Or that his nature, being such as we have delineated, is akin to the highest good?
150Or the horseman by his art make them bad horsemen?
150Or the verse The saddest of fates is to die and meet destiny from hunger?
150Or when they are on a voyage, amid the perils of the sea?
150Or will he have right opinion from being compelled to associate with another who knows and gives him instructions about what he should draw?
150Or will they prefer those whom we have rejected?
150Or, after all, they may be in the right, and poets do really know the things about which they seem to the many to speak so well?
150Or, if the master would not stay, then the disciples would have followed him about everywhere, until they had got education enough?
150Ought I not to begin by describing how the change from timocracy to oligarchy arises?
150Our State like every other has rulers and subjects?
150Parents and tutors are always telling their sons and their wards that they are to be just; but why?
150Reflect: is not the dreamer, sleeping or waking, one who likens dissimilar things, who puts the copy in the place of the real object?
150Reflect: when a man has an opinion, has he not an opinion about something?
150Reflecting upon these and similar evils, you held the tyrannical State to be the most miserable of States?
150SOCRATES- GLAUCON What do you mean, Socrates?
150SOCRATES- POLEMARCHUS Tell me then, O thou heir of the argument, what did Simonides say, and according to you truly say, about justice?
150Salvation of what?
150Say, then, is not pleasure opposed to pain?
150Shall I assume that we ourselves are able and experienced judges and have before now met with such a person?
150Shall I give you an illustration of them?
150Shall I give you an illustration?
150Shall I tell you whose I believe the saying to be?
150Shall I tell you why?
150Shall we begin by assuring him that he is welcome to any knowledge which he may have, and that we are rejoiced at his having it?
150Shall we begin education with music, and go on to gymnastic afterwards?
150Shall we not?
150Shall we, after the manner of Homer, pray the Muses to tell us''how discord first arose''?
150Shall we, then, speak of Him as the natural author or maker of the bed?
150Should not their custom be to spare them, considering the danger which there is that the whole race may one day fall under the yoke of the barbarians?
150Socrates, has taken possession of you all?
150Socrates, what do you mean?
150Socrates; do you want to know how much I acquired?
150Something that is or is not?
150Something that is; for how can that which is not ever be known?
150Still, I should like to ascertain how astronomy can be learned in any manner more conducive to that knowledge of which we are speaking?
150Still, the dangers of war can not be always foreseen; there is a good deal of chance about them?
150Such is the tale; is there any possibility of making our citizens believe in it?
150Such will be the change, and after the change has been made, how will they proceed?
150Such, then, are the palms of victory which the gods give the just?
150Suppose now that by the light of the examples just offered we enquire who this imitator is?
150Suppose we call it the contentious or ambitious-- would the term be suitable?
150Suppose we select an example of either kind, in order that we may have a general notion of them?
150Tell me, Thrasymachus, I said, did you mean by justice what the stronger thought to be his interest, whether really so or not?
150Tell me: will he be more likely to struggle and hold out against his sorrow when he is seen by his equals, or when he is alone?
150That is also good, he said; but I should like to know what you mean?
150That is his meaning then?
150That is quite true, he said; but to what are you alluding?
150That is to say, justice is useful when money is useless?
150That since beauty is the opposite of ugliness, they are two?
150That there are three arts which are concerned with all things: one which uses, another which makes, a third which imitates them?
150That will be the way?
150The State which we have been describing is said to be wise as being good in counsel?
150The existence of such persons is to be attributed to want of education, ill- training, and an evil constitution of the State?
150The good which oligarchy proposed to itself and the means by which it was maintained was excess of wealth-- am I not right?
150The imitative artist will be in a brilliant state of intelligence about his own creations?
150The just man then, if we regard the idea of justice only, will be like the just State?
150The object of one is food, and of the other drink?
150The one loves and embraces the subjects of knowledge, the other those of opinion?
150The pleasure of eating is necessary in two ways; it does us good and it is essential to the continuance of life?
150The process is as follows: When a potter becomes rich, will he, think you, any longer take the same pains with his art?
150The ruler may impose the laws and institutions which we have been describing, and the citizens may possibly be willing to obey them?
150The soul, I said, being, as is now proven, immortal, must be the fairest of compositions and can not be compounded of many elements?
150The true lie is hated not only by the gods, but also by men?
150The true lover of learning then must from his earliest youth, as far as in him lies, desire all truth?
150The very great benefit has next to be established?
150The whole period of threescore years and ten is surely but a little thing in comparison with eternity?
150Their pleasures are mixed with pains-- how can they be otherwise?
150Then I may infer courage to be such as you describe?
150Then I suppose that opinion appears to you to be darker than knowledge, but lighter than ignorance?
150Then I suppose that we ought to do good to the just and harm to the unjust?
150Then a city is not to be called wise because possessing a knowledge which counsels for the best about wooden implements?
150Then a soul which forgets can not be ranked among genuine philosophic natures; we must insist that the philosopher should have a good memory?
150Then according to your argument it is just to injure those who do no wrong?
150Then an evil soul must necessarily be an evil ruler and superintendent, and the good soul a good ruler?
150Then are we to impose all our enactments on men and none of them on women?
150Then carpenters, and smiths, and many other artisans, will be sharers in our little State, which is already beginning to grow?
150Then clearly the next thing will be to make matrimony sacred in the highest degree, and what is most beneficial will be deemed sacred?
150Then comparing our original city, which was under a king, and the city which is under a tyrant, how do they stand as to virtue?
150Then everything which is good, whether made by art or nature, or both, is least liable to suffer change from without?
150Then he can hardly be compelled by external influence to take many shapes?
150Then he who is a good keeper of anything is also a good thief?
150Then he who is to be a really good and noble guardian of the State will require to unite in himself philosophy and spirit and swiftness and strength?
150Then he will no more have true opinion than he will have knowledge about the goodness or badness of his imitations?
150Then hirelings will help to make up our population?
150Then how can he who has magnificence of mind and is the spectator of all time and all existence, think much of human life?
150Then if being is the subject- matter of knowledge, something else must be the subject- matter of opinion?
150Then if geometry compels us to view being, it concerns us; if becoming only, it does not concern us?
150Then if the constitutions of States are five, the dispositions of individual minds will also be five?
150Then if the man is like the State, I said, must not the same rule prevail?
150Then if there be any city which may be described as master of its own pleasures and desires, and master of itself, ours may claim such a designation?
150Then in every way the laws will help the citizens to keep the peace with one another?
150Then in making their laws they may sometimes make them rightly, and sometimes not?
150Then in this case the narrative of the poet may be said to proceed by way of imitation?
150Then in this kind of State there will be the greatest variety of human natures?
150Then in time of peace justice will be of no use?
150Then it will be our duty to select, if we can, natures which are fitted for the task of guarding the city?
150Then justice, according to your argument, is not only obedience to the interest of the stronger but the reverse?
150Then knowledge and opinion having distinct powers have also distinct spheres or subject- matters?
150Then medicine does not consider the interest of medicine, but the interest of the body?
150Then men who are injured are of necessity made unjust?
150Then more husbandmen and more artisans will be required?
150Then must not a further admission be made?
150Then no intemperance or madness should be allowed to approach true love?
150Then no motive can be imagined why God should lie?
150Then on this view also justice will be admitted to be the having and doing what is a man''s own, and belongs to him?
150Then opinion and knowledge have to do with different kinds of matter corresponding to this difference of faculties?
150Then opinion is not concerned either with being or with not- being?
150Then reflect; has the ear or voice need of any third or additional nature in order that the one may be able to hear and the other to be heard?
150Then shall we propose this as a second branch of knowledge which our youth will study?
150Then shall we try to find some way of convincing him, if we can, that he is saying what is not true?
150Then that is not the knowledge which we are seeking to discover?
150Then that part of the soul which has an opinion contrary to measure is not the same with that which has an opinion in accordance with measure?
150Then the art of war partakes of them?
150Then the community of wives and children among our citizens is clearly the source of the greatest good to the State?
150Then the cowardly and mean nature has no part in true philosophy?
150Then the intermediate state of rest will be pleasure and will also be pain?
150Then the just is happy, and the unjust miserable?
150Then the just is like the wise and good, and the unjust like the evil and ignorant?
150Then the just soul and the just man will live well, and the unjust man will live ill?
150Then the lover of wisdom has a great advantage over the lover of gain, for he has a double experience?
150Then the lying poet has no place in our idea of God?
150Then the soul of the thirsty one, in so far as he is thirsty, desires only drink; for this he yearns and tries to obtain it?
150Then the superhuman and divine is absolutely incapable of falsehood?
150Then the tyrant is removed from true pleasure by the space of a number which is three times three?
150Then the tyrant will live at the greatest distance from true or natural pleasure, and the king at the least?
150Then the wise and good will not desire to gain more than his like, but more than his unlike and opposite?
150Then the world can not possibly be a philosopher?
150Then there is nothing impossible or out of the order of nature in our finding a guardian who has a similar combination of qualities?
150Then there must be another class of citizens who will bring the required supply from another city?
150Then they will quarrel as those who intend some day to be reconciled?
150Then this is the progress which you call dialectic?
150Then this new kind of knowledge must have an additional quality?
150Then to injure a friend or any one else is not the act of a just man, but of the opposite, who is the unjust?
150Then to them the good will be enemies and the evil will be their friends?
150Then virtue is the health and beauty and well- being of the soul, and vice the disease and weakness and deformity of the same?
150Then we have found the desired natures; and now that we have found them, how are they to be reared and educated?
150Then we have made an enactment not only possible but in the highest degree beneficial to the State?
150Then we have now, I said, the second form of government and the second type of character?
150Then we may assume that our athletes will be able to fight with two or three times their own number?
150Then we may begin by assuming that there are three classes of men-- lovers of wisdom, lovers of honour, lovers of gain?
150Then we must abstain from spoiling the dead or hindering their burial?
150Then we shall want merchants?
150Then what is that joint use of silver or gold in which the just man is to be preferred?
150Then what is your meaning?
150Then what will you do with them?
150Then when the person who asks me is not in his right mind I am by no means to make the return?
150Then who is more miserable?
150Then why should you mind?
150Then will not the citizens be good and civilized?
150Then women must be taught music and gymnastic and also the art of war, which they must practise like the men?
150Then would you call injustice malignity?
150Then you never heard of the saying of Phocylides, that as soon as a man has a livelihood he should practise virtue?
150Then you will make a law that they shall have such an education as will enable them to attain the greatest skill in asking and answering questions?
150Then you would infer that opinion is intermediate?
150Then you would not approve of Syracusan dinners, and the refinements of Sicilian cookery?
150Then, I said, if these and these only are to be used in our songs and melodies, we shall not want multiplicity of notes or a panharmonic scale?
150Then, I said, no science or art considers or enjoins the interest of the stronger or superior, but only the interest of the subject and weaker?
150Then, I said, our guardians must lay the foundations of their fortress in music?
150Then, again, within the city, how will they exchange their productions?
150Then, do you see any way in which the philosopher can be preserved in his calling to the end?
150Then, if there be any good which all artists have in common, that is to be attributed to something of which they all have the common use?
150Then, if women are to have the same duties as men, they must have the same nurture and education?
150Then, under the influence either of poverty or of wealth, workmen and their work are equally liable to degenerate?
150There is a thing which you call good and another which you call evil?
150There is another which is the work of the carpenter?
150There is the knowledge of the carpenter; but is that the sort of knowledge which gives a city the title of wise and good in counsel?
150There were two parts in our former scheme of education, were there not?
150There you are right, he replied; but if any one asks where are such models to be found and of what tales are you speaking-- how shall we answer him?
150These then may be truly said to be the ends of these organs?
150These, then, are the two kinds of style?
150They are like faces which were never really beautiful, but only blooming; and now the bloom of youth has passed away from them?
150They have in view practice only, and are always speaking?
150They will use friendly correction, but will not enslave or destroy their opponents; they will be correctors, not enemies?
150This, I said, is he who begins to make a party against the rich?
150This, then, will be the first great defect of oligarchy?
150Thus much of music, which makes a fair ending; for what should be the end of music if not the love of beauty?
150To be sure, he said; how can he think otherwise?
150To what do you refer?
150To what do you refer?
150True, I said; but would you never allow them to run any risk?
150True, he replied; but what of that?
150True, he said; how could they see anything but the shadows if they were never allowed to move their heads?
150Undoubtedly; and yet if music and gymnastic are excluded, and the arts are also excluded, what remains?
150Until some one rare and grand result is reached which may be good, and may be the reverse of good?
150Very good, I said; then what is the next question?
150Very good, Thrasymachus, I said; and now to take the case of the arts: you would admit that one man is a musician and another not a musician?
150Very true, Adeimantus; but then, would any one, whether God or man, desire to make himself worse?
150Very true, I said; that is what I have to do: But will you be so good as answer yet one more question?
150Very true, he said; but what are these forms of theology which you mean?
150Very true, said Adeimantus; but how does the illustration apply to our enquiry?
150Was not the selection of the male guardians determined by differences of this sort?
150Was not this the beginning of the enquiry''What is great?''
150We acknowledged-- did we not?
150We are not wrong therefore in calling them necessary?
150We can not but remember that the justice of the State consisted in each of the three classes doing the work of its own class?
150We had to consider, first, whether our proposals were possible, and secondly whether they were the most beneficial?
150We must recollect that the individual in whom the several qualities of his nature do their own work will be just, and will do his own work?
150We were saying that the parents should be in the prime of life?
150We were saying, when we spoke of the subject- matter, that we had no need of lamentations and strains of sorrow?
150Well said, Cephalus, I replied; but as concerning justice, what is it?--to speak the truth and to pay your debts-- no more than this?
150Well then, here are three beds: one existing in nature, which is made by God, as I think that we may say-- for no one else can be the maker?
150Well then, is not- being the subject- matter of opinion?
150Well, I said, and how does the change from oligarchy into democracy arise?
150Well, I said, and in oligarchical States do you not find paupers?
150Well, I said, and is there no evil which corrupts the soul?
150Well, I said, and you would agree( would you not?)
150Well, I said; but if we suppose a change in anything, that change must be effected either by the thing itself, or by some other thing?
150Well, and are these of any military use?
150Well, and can the eyes fulfil their end if they are wanting in their own proper excellence and have a defect instead?
150Well, and do you think that those who say so are wrong?
150Well, and is not this one quality, to mention no others, greatly at variance with present notions of him?
150Well, and were we not creating an ideal of a perfect State?
150Well, and your guardian must be brave if he is to fight well?
150Well, but can you imagine that God will be willing to lie, whether in word or deed, or to put forth a phantom of himself?
150Well, but has any one a right to say positively what he does not know?
150Well, but if they are ever to run a risk should they not do so on some occasion when, if they escape disaster, they will be the better for it?
150Well, but is there any war on record which was carried on successfully by him, or aided by his counsels, when he was alive?
150Well, but what ought to be the criterion?
150Well, he said, have you never heard that forms of government differ; there are tyrannies, and there are democracies, and there are aristocracies?
150Well, there is another question: By friends and enemies do we mean those who are so really, or only in seeming?
150Well, you know of course that the greater is relative to the less?
150Well; and has not the soul an end which nothing else can fulfil?
150Were not these your words?
150Were you not saying that he too makes, not the idea which, according to our view, is the essence of the bed, but only a particular bed?
150What about this?
150What admission?
150What admissions?
150What are these corruptions?
150What are they, he said, and where shall I find them?
150What are they?
150What are they?
150What are they?
150What are you going to say?
150What causes?
150What defect?
150What did I borrow?
150What division?
150What do they say?
150What do you consider to be the greatest blessing which you have reaped from your wealth?
150What do you deserve to have done to you?
150What do you mean?
150What do you mean?
150What do you mean?
150What do you mean?
150What do you mean?
150What do you mean?
150What do you mean?
150What do you mean?
150What do you mean?
150What do you mean?
150What do you mean?
150What do you mean?
150What do you mean?
150What do you mean?
150What do you mean?
150What do you mean?
150What do you mean?
150What do you mean?
150What do you mean?
150What do you mean?
150What do you mean?
150What do you mean?
150What do you mean?
150What do you mean?
150What do you say?
150What do you say?
150What do you say?
150What do you think?
150What else can they do?
150What else then would you say?
150What else would you have?
150What evil?
150What evil?
150What evils?
150What faculty?
150What good?
150What is it?
150What is it?
150What is it?
150What is most required?
150What is that you are saying?
150What is that?
150What is that?
150What is that?
150What is that?
150What is that?
150What is that?
150What is that?
150What is the difference?
150What is the process?
150What is the proposition?
150What is there remaining?
150What is to be done then?
150What is your illustration?
150What is your notion?
150What is your proposal?
150What limit would you propose?
150What makes you say that?
150What may that be?
150What may that be?
150What may that be?
150What of this line, O heavy with wine, who hast the eyes of a dog and the heart of a stag, and of the words which follow?
150What point of view?
150What point?
150What point?
150What quality?
150What quality?
150What question?
150What shall he profit, if his injustice be undetected and unpunished?
150What shall we say to him?
150What should they fear?
150What sort of instances do you mean?
150What sort of knowledge is there which would draw the soul from becoming to being?
150What sort of lie?
150What sort of mischief?
150What tale?
150What then is the real object of them?
150What then?
150What trait?
150What was the error, Polemarchus?
150What was the mistake?
150What was the omission?
150What way?
150What will be the issue of such marriages?
150What, Thrasymachus, is the meaning of this?
150What, again, is the meaning of light and heavy, if that which is light is also heavy, and that which is heavy, light?
150What, are there any greater still?
150What, he said, is there a knowledge still higher than this-- higher than justice and the other virtues?
150What, not, I said, if he were able to run away and then turn and strike at the one who first came up?
150What, then, he said, is still remaining to us of the work of legislation?
150What?
150What?
150When Simonides said that the repayment of a debt was justice, he did not mean to include that case?
150When a man can not measure, and a great many others who can not measure declare that he is four cubits high, can he help believing what they say?
150When he is by himself he will not mind saying or doing many things which he would be ashamed of any one hearing or seeing him do?
150When horses are injured, are they improved or deteriorated?
150When is this accomplished?
150When they make them rightly, they make them agreeably to their interest; when they are mistaken, contrary to their interest; you admit that?
150Where must I look?
150Where then?
150Where, then, is justice, and where is injustice, and in what part of the State did they spring up?
150Whereas he who has a taste for every sort of knowledge and who is curious to learn and is never satisfied, may be justly termed a philosopher?
150Whereas the bad and ignorant will desire to gain more than both?
150Whereas the physician and the carpenter have different natures?
150Whereas true love is a love of beauty and order-- temperate and harmonious?
150Which appetites do you mean?
150Which are they?
150Which is a just principle?
150Which of us has spoken truly?
150Which years do you mean to include?
150Who better suited to raise the question of justice than Cephalus, whose life might seem to be the expression of it?
150Who can be at enmity with one who loves them, who that is himself gentle and free from envy will be jealous of one in whom there is no jealousy?
150Who is he?
150Who is it, I said, whom you are refusing to let off?
150Who is that?
150Who then are those whom we shall compel to be guardians?
150Who was that?
150Whose is that light which makes the eye to see perfectly and the visible to appear?
150Whose?
150Why do you ask such a question, I said, when you ought rather to be answering?
150Why do you say so?
150Why great caution?
150Why indeed, he said, when any name will do which expresses the thought of the mind with clearness?
150Why is that?
150Why not, as Aeschylus says, utter the word which rises to our lips?
150Why not?
150Why not?
150Why not?
150Why not?
150Why not?
150Why should they not be?
150Why so?
150Why so?
150Why so?
150Why so?
150Why, I said, do you not see that men are unwillingly deprived of good, and willingly of evil?
150Why, I said, what was ever great in a short time?
150Why, in the first place, although they are all of a good sort, are not some better than others?
150Why, what else is there?
150Why, where can they still find any ground for objection?
150Why, yes, I said, of course they answer truly; how can the Muses speak falsely?
150Why, yes, he said: how can any reasonable being ever identify that which is infallible with that which errs?
150Why, you do not mean to say that the tyrant will use violence?
150Why?
150Why?
150Why?
150Will any one deny the other point, that there may be sons of kings or princes who are by nature philosophers?
150Will any private training enable him to stand firm against the overwhelming flood of popular opinion?
150Will he know from use whether or no his drawing is correct or beautiful?
150Will he not also require natural aptitude for his calling?
150Will he not be called by them a prater, a star- gazer, a good- for- nothing?
150Will he not fancy that the shadows which he formerly saw are truer than the objects which are now shown to him?
150Will he not have the notions of good and evil which the public in general have-- he will do as they do, and as they are, such will he be?
150Will he not think that heaven and the things in heaven are framed by the Creator of them in the most perfect manner?
150Will he not utterly hate a lie?
150Will horsemen carry torches and pass them one to another during the race?
150Will not such an one from his early childhood be in all things first among all, especially if his bodily endowments are like his mental ones?
150Will not the guardians be the smallest of all the classes who receive a name from the profession of some kind of knowledge?
150Will the creature feel any compunction at tyrannizing over them?
150Will the just man or citizen ever be guilty of sacrilege or theft, or treachery either to his friends or to his country?
150Will they disbelieve us, when we tell them that no State can be happy which is not designed by artists who imitate the heavenly pattern?
150Will they doubt that the philosopher is a lover of truth and being?
150Will they not be sophisms captivating to the ear, having nothing in them genuine, or worthy of or akin to true wisdom?
150Will they not be vile and bastard?
150Will they not produce corn, and wine, and clothes, and shoes, and build houses for themselves?
150Will you admit so much?
150Will you be a little more explicit?
150Will you enquire yourself?
150Will you explain your meaning?
150Will you repay me, then, what you borrowed in the argument?
150Will you say whether you approve of my proposal?
150Will you tell me?
150Will you tell me?
150Will you then kindly answer, for the edification of the company and of myself?
150Would any one deny this?
150Would he allow imitation to be the ruling principle of his life, as if he had nothing higher in him?
150Would he not rather say or do the same as his like in the same case?
150Would not he who is fitted to be a guardian, besides the spirited nature, need to have the qualities of a philosopher?
150Would that be your way of speaking?
150Would they not have been as unwilling to part with them as with gold, and have compelled them to stay at home with them?
150Would you agree with me in thinking that the corrupting and destroying element is the evil, and the saving and improving element the good?
150Would you call one of them virtue and the other vice?
150Would you have me put the proof bodily into your souls?
150Would you know the measure of the interval which separates them?
150Would you like, for the sake of clearness, to distinguish which are the necessary and which are the unnecessary pleasures?
150Would you say six or four years?
150Would you say that all men are equal in excellence, or is one man better than another?
150Would you say that knowledge is a faculty, or in what class would you place it?
150Yes, I said, a jest; and why?
150Yes, I said; and the higher principle is ready to follow this suggestion of reason?
150Yes, I said; and this being true of one must be equally true of all number?
150Yes, I said; and when a man dies gloriously in war shall we not say, in the first place, that he is of the golden race?
150Yes, I said; but if this definition of justice also breaks down, what other can be offered?
150Yes, Socrates, he said, and if you were providing for a city of pigs, how else would you feed the beasts?
150Yes, but do not persons often err about good and evil: many who are not good seem to be so, and conversely?
150Yes, he replied, such is very often the case; but what has that to do with us and our argument?
150Yes, he said, that sort of thing is certainly very blamable; but what are the stories which you mean?
150Yes, he said; but what are the characteristics of this form of government, and what are the defects of which we were speaking?
150Yes, he said; how can I deny it?
150Yes, that is very true, but may I ask another question?
150Yes, the greatest; but will you explain yourself?
150Yes; and is not this true of the government of anything?
150Yet if he is not the maker, what is he in relation to the bed?
150Yet of all the organs of sense the eye is the most like the sun?
150You are aware, I suppose, that all mythology and poetry is a narration of events, either past, present, or to come?
150You have answered me, I replied: Well, and may we not further say that our guardians are the best of our citizens?
150You know that they live securely and have nothing to apprehend from their servants?
150You mean geometry?
150You mean that they would shipwreck?
150You mean that you do not understand the nature of this payment which to the best men is the great inducement to rule?
150You mean to ask, I said, what will be our answer?
150You mean to say that the people, from whom he has derived his being, will maintain him and his companions?
150You mean when money is not wanted, but allowed to lie?
150You mean, I suspect, to ask whether tragedy and comedy shall be admitted into our State?
150You recognise the truth of what I have been saying?
150You remember what people say when they are sick?
150You remember, I said, how the rulers were chosen before?
150You say that perfect injustice is more gainful than perfect justice?
150You think that justice may be of use in peace as well as in war?
150You will admit that the same education which makes a man a good guardian will make a woman a good guardian; for their original nature is the same?
150You would agree with me?
150You would allow, I said, that there is in nature an upper and lower and middle region?
150You would argue that the good are our friends and the bad our enemies?
150You would compare them, I said, to those invalids who, having no self- restraint, will not leave off their habits of intemperance?
150You would not be inclined to say, would you, that navigation is the art of medicine, at least if we are to adopt your exact use of language?
150You would not deny that those who have any true notion without intelligence are only like blind men who feel their way along the road?
150and are not the best judges in like manner those who are acquainted with all sorts of moral natures?
150and does not the actual tyrant lead a worse life than he whose life you determined to be the worst?
150and he who has tyrannized longest and most, most continually and truly miserable; although this may not be the opinion of men in general?
150and how does he live, in happiness or in misery?
150and how shall we manage the period between birth and education, which seems to require the greatest care?
150and is no difference made by the circumstance that one of the fingers is in the middle and another at the extremity?
150and must he not be represented as such?
150and you would agree that to conceive things as they are is to possess the truth?
150and''What is small?''
150beat his father if he opposes him?
150have heard them say that there is nothing pleasanter than to get rid of their pain?
150he said; are they not capable of defending themselves?
150he said; ought we to give them a worse life, when they might have a better?
150or any greater good than the bond of unity?
150or is the subject- matter of opinion the same as the subject- matter of knowledge?
150or that he who errs in arithmetic or grammar is an arithmetician or grammarian at the me when he is making the mistake, in respect of the mistake?
150or the knowledge of all other things if we have no knowledge of beauty and goodness?
150or will he be carried away by the stream?
150or will you make allowance for them?
150or would you include the mixed?
150or, rather, how can there be an opinion at all about not- being?
150or, suppose them to have no care of human things-- why in either case should we mind about concealment?
150shall we condescend to legislate on any of these particulars?
150would he not desire to have more than either the knowing or the ignorant?
150you are incredulous, are you?
1497Will he,in the language of Pindar,"make justice his high tower, or fortify himself with crooked deceit?"
1497''And a true answer, of course:--but what more have they to say?''
1497''And can we conceive things greater still?''
1497''And do not the natures of men and women differ very much indeed?''
1497''And how will they begin their work?''
1497''And is her proper state ours or some other?''
1497''And what are the highest?''
1497''And what can I do more for you?''
1497''And what will they say?''
1497''But how shall we know the degrees of affinity, when all things are common?''
1497''But if many states join their resources, shall we not be in danger?''
1497''But then how will our poor city be able to go to war against an enemy who has money?''
1497''But will curiosity make a philosopher?
1497''But, Socrates, what is this supreme principle, knowledge or pleasure, or what?
1497''But, my dear Socrates, you are forgetting the main question: Is such a State possible?
1497''But,''said Glaucon, interposing,''are they not to have a relish?''
1497''Do you ask whether tragedy and comedy are to be admitted?''
1497''Glorious, indeed; but what is to follow?''
1497''How can we resist such arguments in favour of injustice?
1497''I do not understand what you mean?''
1497''I should like to know of what constitutions you were speaking?''
1497''Is it possible?
1497''Lover of wisdom,''''lover of knowledge,''are titles which we may fitly apply to that part of the soul?
1497''Socrates,''he says,''what folly is this?--Why do you agree to be vanquished by one another in a pretended argument?''
1497''Surely you are not prepared to prove that?''
1497''Sweet Sir,''we will say to him,''what think you of things esteemed noble and ignoble?
1497''Tell me, Socrates,''he says,''have you a nurse?''
1497''Then how are we to describe the true?''
1497''Then how is such an admission reconcileable with the doctrine that philosophers should be kings?''
1497''Well, and what answer do you give?''
1497''What appetites do you mean?''
1497''What do you mean?''
1497''What, then, shall a man profit, if he gain the whole world''and become more and more wicked?
1497''When a lively- minded ingenuous youth hears all this, what will be his conclusion?
1497''Who is that?''
1497''Will they not think this a hardship?''
1497''You do not mean to say that he will beat his father?''
1497), having no reason in them, and yet to be set in authority over the highest matters?
1497--How would you answer him?
1497--What defence will you make for us, my good Sir, against any one who offers these objections?
1497... He proceeds: What did Simonides mean by this saying of his?
1497A right noble thought; but do you suppose that we shall refrain from asking you what is this highest knowledge?
1497A second and greater wave is rolling in-- community of wives and children; is this either expedient or possible?
1497A state which is intermediate, and a sort of repose of the soul about either-- that is what you mean?
1497Adeimantus added: Has no one told you of the torch- race on horseback in honour of the goddess which will take place in the evening?
1497Admitting that women differ from men in capacity, do not men equally differ from one another?
1497After this manner the democrat was generated out of the oligarch?
1497Again the old question returns upon us: Is justice or injustice the more profitable?
1497Again, as to the devastation of Hellenic territory or the burning of houses, what is to be the practice?
1497Again, has he greater experience of the pleasures of honour, or the lover of honour of the pleasures of wisdom?
1497Again, is not the passionate element wholly set on ruling and conquering and getting fame?
1497Again, pleasure and pain are motions, and the absence of them is rest; but if so, how can the absence of either of them be the other?
1497Again, when pleasure ceases, that sort of rest or cessation will be painful?
1497All of whom will call one another citizens?
1497All that would arise out of his ignorance of the true upper and middle and lower regions?
1497Also they are utterly unjust, if we were right in our notion of justice?
1497Am I not right?
1497Am I not right?
1497Am I not right?
1497Am I not right?
1497Am I not right?
1497And O my friend, I said, surely the gods are just?
1497And a man will be most likely to care about that which he loves?
1497And a narrative it remains both in the speeches which the poet recites from time to time and in the intermediate passages?
1497And again, if he is forgetful and retains nothing of what he learns, will he not be an empty vessel?
1497And agreeably to this mode of thinking and speaking, were we not saying that they will have their pleasures and pains in common?
1497And all arithmetic and calculation have to do with number?
1497And also of the mental ones; his soul is to be full of spirit?
1497And also to be within and between them?
1497And an art requiring as much attention as shoemaking?
1497And another consideration has just occurred to me: You will remember that our young men are to be warrior athletes?
1497And any difference which arises among them will be regarded by them as discord only-- a quarrel among friends, which is not to be called a war?
1497And anything which is infected by any of these evils is made evil, and at last wholly dissolves and dies?
1497And are enemies also to receive what we owe to them?
1497And are not their praises of tyranny alone a sufficient reason why we should exclude them from our State?
1497And are our friends to be only the good, and our enemies to be the evil?
1497And are suits decided on any other ground but that a man may neither take what is another''s, nor be deprived of what is his own?
1497And are you going to run away before you have fairly taught or learned whether they are true or not?
1497And are you stronger than all these?
1497And as State is to State in virtue and happiness, so is man in relation to man?
1497And as we are to have the best of guardians for our city, must they not be those who have most the character of guardians?
1497And both pleasure and pain are motions of the soul, are they not?
1497And both should be in harmony?
1497And by contracts you mean partnerships?
1497And can any one of those many things which are called by particular names be said to be this rather than not to be this?
1497And can she or can she not fulfil her own ends when deprived of that excellence?
1497And can that which does no evil be a cause of evil?
1497And can the just by justice make men unjust, or speaking generally, can the good by virtue make them bad?
1497And can there be anything better for the interests of the State than that the men and women of a State should be as good as possible?
1497And can therefore neither be ignorance nor knowledge?
1497And can you mention any pursuit of mankind in which the male sex has not all these gifts and qualities in a higher degree than the female?
1497And democracy has her own good, of which the insatiable desire brings her to dissolution?
1497And do I differ from you, he said, as to the importance of the enquiry?
1497And do not good practices lead to virtue, and evil practices to vice?
1497And do not the two styles, or the mixture of the two, comprehend all poetry, and every form of expression in words?
1497And do the unjust appear to you to be wise and good?
1497And do they not educate to perfection young and old, men and women alike, and fashion them after their own hearts?
1497And do they not share?
1497And do we know what we opine?
1497And do you also agree, I said, in describing the dialectician as one who attains a conception of the essence of each thing?
1497And do you breed from them all indifferently, or do you take care to breed from the best only?
1497And do you consider truth to be akin to proportion or to disproportion?
1497And do you imagine, I said, that I am such a madman as to try and cheat, Thrasymachus?
1497And do you not know, I said, that all mere opinions are bad, and the best of them blind?
1497And do you remember the word of caution which preceded the discussion of them?
1497And do you suppose that I ask these questions with any design of injuring you in the argument?
1497And do you take the oldest or the youngest, or only those of ripe age?
1497And do you wish to behold what is blind and crooked and base, when others will tell you of brightness and beauty?
1497And does not the analogy apply still more to the State?
1497And does not the latter-- I mean the rebellious principle-- furnish a great variety of materials for imitation?
1497And does not the same hold also of the ridiculous?
1497And does not the same principle hold in the sciences?
1497And does not tyranny spring from democracy in the same manner as democracy from oligarchy-- I mean, after a sort?
1497And does the essence of the invariable partake of knowledge in the same degree as of essence?
1497And dogs are deteriorated in the good qualities of dogs, and not of horses?
1497And each art gives us a particular good and not merely a general one-- medicine, for example, gives us health; navigation, safety at sea, and so on?
1497And each of them is such as his like is?
1497And even if injustice be found in two only, will they not quarrel and fight, and become enemies to one another and to the just?
1497And even to this are there not exceptions?
1497And everything else on the style?
1497And food and wisdom are the corresponding satisfactions of either?
1497And from being a keeper of the law he is converted into a breaker of it?
1497And good counsel is clearly a kind of knowledge, for not by ignorance, but by knowledge, do men counsel well?
1497And has not the body itself less of truth and essence than the soul?
1497And has not the eye an excellence?
1497And has not the soul an excellence also?
1497And have we not already condemned that State in which the same persons are warriors as well as shopkeepers?
1497And he is good in as far as he is wise, and bad in as far as he is foolish?
1497And he is the best guard of a camp who is best able to steal a march upon the enemy?
1497And he is the only one who has wisdom as well as experience?
1497And he is to be deemed courageous whose spirit retains in pleasure and in pain the commands of reason about what he ought or ought not to fear?
1497And he who is most skilful in preventing or escaping from a disease is best able to create one?
1497And he who is not on a voyage has no need of a pilot?
1497And he who lives well is blessed and happy, and he who lives ill the reverse of happy?
1497And here, Glaucon, I should like to ask( as I know that you are a breeder of birds and animals), Do you not take the greatest care in the mating?
1497And his friends and fellow- citizens will want to use him as he gets older for their own purposes?
1497And how am I to convince you, he said, if you are not already convinced by what I have just said; what more can I do for you?
1497And how am I to do so?
1497And how are they to be learned without education?
1497And how can one who is thus circumstanced ever become a philosopher?
1497And how can we rightly answer that question?
1497And how does such an one live?
1497And how does the son come into being?
1497And how is the error to be corrected?
1497And how long is this stage of their lives to last?
1497And how will they proceed?
1497And how would he regard the attempt to gain an advantage over the unjust; would that be considered by him as just or unjust?
1497And if care was not taken in the breeding, your dogs and birds would greatly deteriorate?
1497And if merchandise is to be carried over the sea, skilful sailors will also be needed, and in considerable numbers?
1497And if our youth are to do their work in life, must they not make these graces and harmonies their perpetual aim?
1497And if that is true, what sort of general must he have been?
1497And if the old man and woman fight for their own, what then, my friend?
1497And if the world perceives that what we are saying about him is the truth, will they be angry with philosophy?
1497And if there be any State in which rulers and subjects will be agreed as to the question who are to rule, that again will be our State?
1497And if they are both known to them, one must be the friend and the other the enemy of the gods, as we admitted from the beginning?
1497And if they are to be what we were describing, is there not another quality which they should also possess?
1497And if they turn out to be two, is not each of them one and different?
1497And if they were able to converse with one another, would they not suppose that they were naming what was actually before them?
1497And if we only have a guardian who has this knowledge our State will be perfectly ordered?
1497And ignorance and folly are inanitions of the soul?
1497And in like manner does the touch adequately perceive the qualities of thickness or thinness, of softness or hardness?
1497And in oligarchical States, from the general spread of carelessness and extravagance, men of good family have often been reduced to beggary?
1497And in our State what other name besides that of citizens do the people give the rulers?
1497And in our opinion the guardians ought to have both these qualities?
1497And in such a case what is one to say?
1497And in that case they will be right in doing good to the evil and evil to the good?
1497And in that interval there has now been discovered something which we call opinion?
1497And in the first place, he will honour studies which impress these qualities on his soul and will disregard others?
1497And in the laying of bricks and stones is the just man a more useful or better partner than the builder?
1497And in what sort of actions or with a view to what result is the just man most able to do harm to his enemy and good to his friend?
1497And inasmuch as they are two, each of them is one?
1497And is he likely to be brave who has no spirit, whether horse or dog or any other animal?
1497And is he not truly good?
1497And is justice dimmer in the individual, and is her form different, or is she the same which we found her to be in the State?
1497And is not a State larger than an individual?
1497And is not a similar method to be pursued about the virtues, which are also four in number?
1497And is not life to be reckoned among the ends of the soul?
1497And is not that farthest from reason which is at the greatest distance from law and order?
1497And is not the end of the soul happiness, and justice the excellence of the soul by which happiness is attained?
1497And is not the love of learning the love of wisdom, which is philosophy?
1497And is not the reason of this that the several principles, whether in the state or in the individual, do their own business?
1497And is not the unjust like the wise and good and the just unlike them?
1497And is not their humanity to the condemned in some cases quite charming?
1497And is not this involuntary deprivation caused either by theft, or force, or enchantment?
1497And is not this the reason why of old love has been called a tyrant?
1497And is opinion also a faculty?
1497And is our theory a worse theory because we are unable to prove the possibility of a city being ordered in the manner described?
1497And is the art of war one of those arts in which she can or can not share?
1497And is the city which is under a tyrant rich or poor?
1497And is the satisfaction derived from that which has less or from that which has more existence the truer?
1497And is there any greater or keener pleasure than that of sensual love?
1497And is there any man in whom you will find more of this sort of misery than in the tyrannical man, who is in a fury of passions and desires?
1497And is there anything more akin to wisdom than truth?
1497And is this confined to the sight only, or does it extend to the hearing also, relating in fact to what we term poetry?
1497And it has this particular quality because it has an object of a particular kind; and this is true of the other arts and sciences?
1497And just actions cause justice, and unjust actions cause injustice?
1497And literature may be either true or false?
1497And living in this way we shall have much greater need of physicians than before?
1497And luxury and softness are blamed, because they relax and weaken this same creature, and make a coward of him?
1497And may not the many which are doubles be also halves?--doubles, that is, of one thing, and halves of another?
1497And may we not rightly call such men treacherous?
1497And may we not say of the philosopher that he is a lover, not of a part of wisdom only, but of the whole?
1497And may we not say that the mind of the one who knows has knowledge, and that the mind of the other, who opines only, has opinion?
1497And may we not say the same of all things?
1497And may we not say, Adeimantus, that the most gifted minds, when they are ill- educated, become pre- eminently bad?
1497And men are blamed for pride and bad temper when the lion and serpent element in them disproportionately grows and gains strength?
1497And might a man be thirsty, and yet unwilling to drink?
1497And must not an animal be a lover of learning who determines what he likes and dislikes by the test of knowledge and ignorance?
1497And must not such a State and such a man be always full of fear?
1497And must not the like happen with the spirited or passionate element of the soul?
1497And must not the soul be perplexed at this intimation which the sense gives of a hard which is also soft?
1497And must not the tyrannical man be like the tyrannical State, and the democratical man like the democratical State; and the same of the others?
1497And must not we swim and try to reach the shore: we will hope that Arion''s dolphin or some other miraculous help may save us?
1497And narration may be either simple narration, or imitation, or a union of the two?
1497And next, how does he live?
1497And next, shall we enquire whether the kindred science also concerns us?
1497And no good thing is hurtful?
1497And not- being is not one thing but, properly speaking, nothing?
1497And now tell me, I conjure you, has not imitation been shown by us to be concerned with that which is thrice removed from the truth?
1497And now what is their manner of life, and what sort of a government have they?
1497And now what remains of the work of legislation?
1497And now why do you not praise me?
1497And now, Adeimantus, is our State matured and perfected?
1497And of individuals who consort with the mob and seek to please them?
1497And of the objects which are being carried in like manner they would only see the shadows?
1497And of the pleasures of love, and all other pleasures, the same holds good?
1497And of the unjust may not the opposite be supposed?
1497And of truth in the same degree?
1497And once more, the inharmonious and unseemly nature can only tend to disproportion?
1497And one feature they will erase, and another they will put in, until they have made the ways of men, as far as possible, agreeable to the ways of God?
1497And one woman has a turn for gymnastic and military exercises, and another is unwarlike and hates gymnastics?
1497And one woman is a philosopher, and another is an enemy of philosophy; one has spirit, and another is without spirit?
1497And opinion is to have an opinion?
1497And ought not the same natures to have the same pursuits?
1497And our guardian is both warrior and philosopher?
1497And reasoning is peculiarly his instrument?
1497And shall I add,''whether seen or unseen by gods and men''?
1497And shall we proceed to get rid of the weepings and wailings of famous men?
1497And shall we receive into our State all the three styles, or one only of the two unmixed styles?
1497And should an immortal being seriously think of this little space rather than of the whole?
1497And should we not enquire what sort of knowledge has the power of effecting such a change?
1497And so let us have a final trial and proclamation; need we hire a herald, or shall I proclaim the result?
1497And so of all other things;--justice is useful when they are useless, and useless when they are useful?
1497And so of the other senses; do they give perfect intimations of such matters?
1497And so they will be drawn by a necessity of their natures to have intercourse with each other-- necessity is not too strong a word, I think?
1497And so tyranny naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme form of liberty?
1497And still there arises another question: Are friends to be interpreted as real or seeming; enemies as real or seeming?
1497And such a pilot and ruler will provide and prescribe for the interest of the sailor who is under him, and not for his own or the ruler''s interest?
1497And suppose injustice abiding in a single person, would your wisdom say that she loses or that she retains her natural power?
1497And suppose we make astronomy the third-- what do you say?
1497And surely, he said, this occurs notably in the case of one; for we see the same thing to be both one and infinite in multitude?
1497And that human virtue is justice?
1497And that others should approve, of what we approve, is no miracle or impossibility?
1497And that to which an end is appointed has also an excellence?
1497And that which hurts not does no evil?
1497And that which is not hurtful hurts not?
1497And that which is opposed to them is one of the inferior principles of the soul?
1497And the State which is enslaved under a tyrant is utterly incapable of acting voluntarily?
1497And the anticipations of future pleasures and pains are of a like nature?
1497And the avaricious, I said, is the oligarchical youth?
1497And the better part of the soul is likely to be that which trusts to measure and calculation?
1497And the citizens being thus agreed among themselves, in which class will temperance be found-- in the rulers or in the subjects?
1497And the country which was enough to support the original inhabitants will be too small now, and not enough?
1497And the ear has an end and an excellence also?
1497And the end or use of a horse or of anything would be that which could not be accomplished, or not so well accomplished, by any other thing?
1497And the fairest is also the loveliest?
1497And the forbidding principle is derived from reason, and that which bids and attracts proceeds from passion and disease?
1497And the friend he regards and describes as one in whom he has an interest, and the other as a stranger in whom he has no interest?
1497And the good is advantageous?
1497And the government is the ruling power in each state?
1497And the greater the interval which separates them from philosophy and reason, the more strange and illusive will be the pleasure?
1497And the greatest degree of evil- doing to one''s own city would be termed by you injustice?
1497And the harmonious soul is both temperate and courageous?
1497And the higher the duties of the guardian, I said, the more time, and skill, and art, and application will be needed by him?
1497And the individual will be acknowledged by us to be just in the same way in which the State is just?
1497And the inharmonious is cowardly and boorish?
1497And the insatiable desire of wealth and the neglect of all other things for the sake of money- getting was also the ruin of oligarchy?
1497And the interest of any art is the perfection of it-- this and nothing else?
1497And the just is the good?
1497And the kinds of knowledge in a State are many and diverse?
1497And the knowing is wise?
1497And the laws which they make must be obeyed by their subjects,--and that is what you call justice?
1497And the lover of honour-- what will be his opinion?
1497And the lustful and tyrannical desires are, as we saw, at the greatest distance?
1497And the man who has the spirit of harmony will be most in love with the loveliest; but he will not love him who is of an inharmonious soul?
1497And the melody and rhythm will depend upon the words?
1497And the more detestable his actions are to the citizens the more satellites and the greater devotion in them will he require?
1497And the more hated he is, the more he will require trusty guards; but how will he obtain them?
1497And the much greater to the much less?
1497And the new government which thus arises will be of a form intermediate between oligarchy and aristocracy?
1497And the oligarch is third from the royal; since we count as one royal and aristocratical?
1497And the painter too is, as I conceive, just such another-- a creator of appearances, is he not?
1497And the persons whose property is taken from them are compelled to defend themselves before the people as they best can?
1497And the pilot likewise, in the strict sense of the term, is a ruler of sailors and not a mere sailor?
1497And the pilot-- that is to say, the true pilot-- is he a captain of sailors or a mere sailor?
1497And the possibility has been acknowledged?
1497And the power which the eye possesses is a sort of effluence which is dispensed from the sun?
1497And the reason is that each part of him is doing its own business, whether in ruling or being ruled?
1497And the reason of this, over and above the general constitution of the State, will be that the guardians will have a community of women and children?
1497And the reason why the good are useless has now been explained?
1497And the result will be that he becomes a worse potter?
1497And the royal and orderly desires are nearest?
1497And the same is true of all other things; they have each of them an end and a special excellence?
1497And the same observation will apply to all other things?
1497And the same of horses and animals in general?
1497And the sometime greater to the sometime less, and the greater that is to be to the less that is to be?
1497And the tragic poet is an imitator, and therefore, like all other imitators, he is thrice removed from the king and from the truth?
1497And the tyrannical soul must be always poor and insatiable?
1497And the unjust is good and wise, and the just is neither?
1497And the unjust man will strive and struggle to obtain more than the unjust man or action, in order that he may have more than all?
1497And the virtue which enters into this competition is justice?
1497And the wise is good?
1497And the work of the painter is a third?
1497And the worker in leather and brass will make them?
1497And the young should be trained in both kinds, and we begin with the false?
1497And then, although they may have no desire of change, the others charge them with plotting against the people and being friends of oligarchy?
1497And there are three kinds of pleasure, which are their several objects?
1497And there is a neutral state which is neither pleasure nor pain?
1497And therefore he will not sorrow for his departed friend as though he had suffered anything terrible?
1497And therefore philosophers must inevitably fall under the censure of the world?
1497And therefore the cause of well- being?
1497And therefore they are likely to do harm to our young men-- you would agree with me there?
1497And therefore to acknowledge that bad and good are the same?
1497And they appear to lead the mind towards truth?
1497And they will place them under the command of experienced veterans who will be their leaders and teachers?
1497And they will take them on the safe expeditions and be cautious about the dangerous ones?
1497And things great and small, heavy and light, as they are termed, will not be denoted by these any more than by the opposite names?
1497And this assimilation of himself to another, either by the use of voice or gesture, is the imitation of the person whose character he assumes?
1497And this is because injustice creates divisions and hatreds and fighting, and justice imparts harmony and friendship; is not that true, Thrasymachus?
1497And this is equally true of imitation; no one man can imitate many things as well as he would imitate a single one?
1497And this is what the arts of music and gymnastic, when present in such manner as we have described, will accomplish?
1497And this, surely, must be the work of the calculating and rational principle in the soul?
1497And those who govern ought not to be lovers of the task?
1497And to this end they ought to be wise and efficient, and to have a special care of the State?
1497And to which class do unity and number belong?
1497And was I not right, Adeimantus?
1497And was I not right?
1497And we have admitted that justice is the excellence of the soul, and injustice the defect of the soul?
1497And we have admitted, I said, that the good of each art is specially confined to the art?
1497And what are these?
1497And what do the Muses say next?
1497And what do the rulers call one another in other States?
1497And what do the rulers call the people?
1497And what do they call them in other States?
1497And what do they receive of men?
1497And what do you say of lovers of wine?
1497And what do you say to his receiving the right hand of fellowship?
1497And what do you think of a second principle?
1497And what does the judge affirm to be the life which is next, and the pleasure which is next?
1497And what due or proper thing is given by cookery, and to what?
1497And what happens?
1497And what in ours?
1497And what is that which justice gives, and to whom?
1497And what is the faculty in man to which imitation is addressed?
1497And what is the name which the city derives from the possession of this sort of knowledge?
1497And what is the next question?
1497And what is the organ with which we see the visible things?
1497And what is the prime of life?
1497And what is this knowledge, and among whom is it found?
1497And what is your view about them?
1497And what manner of government do you term oligarchy?
1497And what manner of man answers to such a State?
1497And what may that be?
1497And what of passion, or spirit?
1497And what of the ignorant?
1497And what of the maker of the bed?
1497And what of the unjust-- does he claim to have more than the just man and to do more than is just?
1497And what shall be their education?
1497And what shall we say about men?
1497And what shall we say of men?
1497And what shall we say of the carpenter-- is not he also the maker of the bed?
1497And what similar use or power of acquisition has justice in time of peace?
1497And what then would you say?
1497And what training will draw the soul upwards?
1497And what would you say of the physician?
1497And when all the world is telling a man that he is six feet high, and he has no measure, how can he believe anything else?
1497And when persons are suffering from acute pain, you must have heard them say that there is nothing pleasanter than to get rid of their pain?
1497And when these fail?
1497And when they meet in private will not people be saying to one another''Our warriors are not good for much''?
1497And when truth is the captain, we can not suspect any evil of the band which he leads?
1497And when you see the same evils in the tyrannical man, what do you say of him?
1497And when you speak of music, do you include literature or not?
1497And when you want to buy a ship, the shipwright or the pilot would be better?
1497And where do you find them?
1497And where freedom is, the individual is clearly able to order for himself his own life as he pleases?
1497And which are the harmonies expressive of sorrow?
1497And which are the soft or drinking harmonies?
1497And which are these two sorts?
1497And which is wise and which is foolish?
1497And which method do I understand you to prefer?
1497And which of the three has the truest knowledge and the widest experience?
1497And which sort of life, Glaucon, do you prefer?
1497And which, I said, of the gods in heaven would you say was the lord of this element?
1497And whichever of these qualities we find in the State, the one which is not found will be the residue?
1497And who are the devoted band, and where will he procure them?
1497And who is best able to do good to his friends and evil to his enemies in time of sickness?
1497And why are mean employments and manual arts a reproach?
1497And why, sillybillies, do you knock under to one another?
1497And will any one say that he is not a miserable caitiff who remorselessly sells his own divine being to that which is most godless and detestable?
1497And will he sell his own fairer and diviner part without any compunction to the most godless and foul?
1497And will he then change himself for the better and fairer, or for the worse and more unsightly?
1497And will not a true astronomer have the same feeling when he looks at the movements of the stars?
1497And will not he who has been shown to be the wickedest, be also the most miserable?
1497And will not men who are injured be deteriorated in that which is the proper virtue of man?
1497And will not the bravest and wisest soul be least confused or deranged by any external influence?
1497And will not the city, which you are founding, be an Hellenic city?
1497And will not the same condition be best for our citizens?
1497And will not the words and the character of the style depend on the temper of the soul?
1497And will not their wives be the best women?
1497And will the blindness and crookedness of opinion content you when you might have the light and certainty of science?
1497And will the habit of body of our ordinary athletes be suited to them?
1497And will the love of a lie be any part of a philosopher''s nature?
1497And will there be in our city more of these true guardians or more smiths?
1497And will they be a class which is rarely found?
1497And will they not be lovers of Hellas, and think of Hellas as their own land, and share in the common temples?
1497And will you be so very good as to answer one more question?
1497And will you have a work better done when the workman has many occupations, or when he has only one?
1497And with the hearing, I said, we hear, and with the other senses perceive the other objects of sense?
1497And would he try to go beyond just action?
1497And would not a really good education furnish the best safeguard?
1497And would you call justice vice?
1497And would you have the future rulers of your ideal State intelligent beings, or stupid as posts?
1497And would you say that the soul of such an one is the soul of a freeman, or of a slave?
1497And yet not so well as with a pruning- hook made for the purpose?
1497And yet there is a sense in which the painter also creates a bed?
1497And yet you were acknowledging a little while ago that knowledge is not the same as opinion?
1497And yet, as you see, there are freemen as well as masters in such a State?
1497And you also said that the just will not go beyond his like but his unlike?
1497And you are aware too that the latter can not explain what they mean by knowledge, but are obliged after all to say knowledge of the good?
1497And you know that a man who is deranged and not right in his mind, will fancy that he is able to rule, not only over men, but also over the gods?
1497And you may further imagine that his instructor is pointing to the objects as they pass and requiring him to name them,--will he not be perplexed?
1497And you placed astronomy next, and then you made a step backward?
1497And you would say the same of the conception of the good?
1497And you would say the same sort of thing of the physician?
1497And, conversely, that which has less of truth will also have less of essence?
1497Another question has not been answered: Is the just or the unjust the happier?
1497Another question is, Which of existing states is suited to her?
1497Any affinity to wantonness and intemperance?
1497Any more than heat can produce cold?
1497Any more than they can be rhapsodists and actors at once?
1497Are not necessary pleasures those of which we can not get rid, and of which the satisfaction is a benefit to us?
1497Are not the chief elements of temperance, speaking generally, obedience to commanders and self- control in sensual pleasures?
1497Are not the public who say these things the greatest of all Sophists?
1497Are not the tragic poets wise who magnify and exalt the tyrant, and say that he is wise by association with the wise?
1497Are not these functions proper to the soul, and can they rightly be assigned to any other?
1497Are the lovers of sights and sounds, who let out their ears to every chorus at the Dionysiac festivals, to be called philosophers?''
1497Are they two or one, and is either of them the cause of the other?
1497Are we not right in saying that the love of knowledge, no less than riches, may divert him?
1497Are you not aware, I said, that the soul of man is immortal and imperishable?
1497Are you satisfied then that the quality which makes such men and such states is justice, or do you hope to discover some other?
1497As being the same with knowledge, or another faculty?
1497As they are or as they appear?
1497At any rate you can tell that a song or ode has three parts-- the words, the melody, and the rhythm; that degree of knowledge I may presuppose?
1497At what age?
1497Because I want to know in which of the three classes you would place justice?
1497Because it has a particular quality which no other has?
1497Beds, then, are of three kinds, and there are three artists who superintend them: God, the maker of the bed, and the painter?
1497Beginning with the State, I replied, would you say that a city which is governed by a tyrant is free or enslaved?
1497Being is the sphere or subject- matter of knowledge, and knowledge is to know the nature of being?
1497But again, will they tell us that such a nature, placed under favourable circumstances, will not be perfectly good and wise if any ever was?
1497But although the gods are themselves unchangeable, still by witchcraft and deception they may make us think that they appear in various forms?
1497But are not these spirited natures apt to be savage with one another, and with everybody else?
1497But are the rulers of states absolutely infallible, or are they sometimes liable to err?
1497But are they really three or one?
1497But can any of these reasons apply to God?
1497But can that which is neither become both?
1497But can that which is neither become both?
1497But can the musician by his art make men unmusical?
1497But can you persuade us, if we refuse to listen to you?
1497But can you tell me of any other suitable study?
1497But can you use different animals for the same purpose, unless they are bred and fed in the same way?
1497But did we not say, Thrasymachus, that the unjust goes beyond both his like and unlike?
1497But do you imagine that men who are unable to give and take a reason will have the knowledge which we require of them?
1497But do you know whom I think good?
1497But do you mean to say that this is not the opinion of the multitude?
1497But do you not admire their cleverness?
1497But do you not admire, I said, the coolness and dexterity of these ready ministers of political corruption?
1497But do you not see that there is a sense in which you could do the same?
1497But do you observe the reason of this?
1497But do you see, he rejoined, how many we are?
1497But does he therefore confer no benefit when he works for nothing?
1497But does the painter know the right form of the bit and reins?
1497But have we not here fallen into a contradiction?
1497But have you remarked that sight is by far the most costly and complex piece of workmanship which the artificer of the senses ever contrived?
1497But he may have friends who are senseless or mad?
1497But he would claim to exceed the non- musician?
1497But he would wish to go beyond the non- physician?
1497But how did timocracy arise out of the perfect State?
1497But how is the image applicable to the disciples of philosophy?
1497But how will they draw out the plan of which you are speaking?
1497But how will they know who are fathers and daughters, and so on?
1497But if he were taken back again he would imagine, and truly imagine, that he was descending?
1497But if so, the tyrant will live most unpleasantly, and the king most pleasantly?
1497But if so, the unjust will be the enemy of the gods, and the just will be their friend?
1497But if the process by which we are supposed to arrive at the idea of good be really imaginary, may not the idea itself be also a mere abstraction?
1497But if they abstained from injuring one another, then they might act together better?
1497But if they are to be courageous, must they not learn other lessons besides these, and lessons of such a kind as will take away the fear of death?
1497But in what way good or harm?
1497But is a man in harmony with himself when he is the subject of these conflicting influences?
1497But is not this unjust?
1497But is not war an art?
1497But is opinion to be sought without and beyond either of them, in a greater clearness than knowledge, or in a greater darkness than ignorance?
1497But is passion a third principle, or akin to desire?
1497But is such a community possible?--as among the animals, so also among men; and if possible, in what way possible?
1497But is the just man or the skilful player a more useful and better partner at a game of draughts?
1497But is there no difference between men and women?
1497But is there not another name which people give to their rulers in other States?
1497But is this equally true of the greatness and smallness of the fingers?
1497But let me ask you another question: Has excess of pleasure any affinity to temperance?
1497But may he not change and transform himself?
1497But may not the stimulus which love has given to fancy be some day exhausted?
1497But next, what shall we say of their food; for the men are in training for the great contest of all-- are they not?
1497But ought the just to injure any one at all?
1497But ought we to attempt to construct one?
1497But ought we to render evil for evil at all, when to do so will only make men more evil?
1497But shall we be right in getting rid of them?
1497But should not life rest on the moral rather than upon the physical?
1497But suppose that he were to retort,''Thrasymachus, what do you mean?
1497But surely God and the things of God are in every way perfect?
1497But surely, Thrasymachus, the arts are the superiors and rulers of their own subjects?
1497But that which is neither was just now shown to be rest and not motion, and in a mean between them?
1497But the condiments are only necessary in so far as they are good for health?
1497But the good are just and would not do an injustice?
1497But the hero who has distinguished himself, what shall be done to him?
1497But the philosopher will still be justified in asking,''How may the heavenly gift of poesy be devoted to the good of mankind?''
1497But the soul which can not be destroyed by an evil, whether inherent or external, must exist for ever, and if existing for ever, must be immortal?
1497But those who see the absolute and eternal and immutable may be said to know, and not to have opinion only?
1497But we should like to ask him a question: Does he who has knowledge know something or nothing?
1497But what branch of knowledge is there, my dear Glaucon, which is of the desired nature; since all the useful arts were reckoned mean by us?
1497But what can show a more disgraceful state of education than to have to go abroad for justice because you have none of your own at home?
1497But what do you mean by the highest of all knowledge?
1497But what do you say of music, which also entered to a certain extent into our former scheme?
1497But what do you say to flute- makers and flute- players?
1497But what if I give you an answer about justice other and better, he said, than any of these?
1497But what if there are no gods?
1497But what is the next step?
1497But what of the world below?
1497But what ought to be their course?
1497But what shall be done to the hero?
1497But what shall their education be?
1497But what will be the process of delineation?''
1497But what would you have, Glaucon?
1497But when a man is well, my dear Polemarchus, there is no need of a physician?
1497But when is this fault committed?
1497But when they are directed towards objects on which the sun shines, they see clearly and there is sight in them?
1497But whence came division?
1497But where are the two?
1497But where, amid all this, is justice?
1497But which is the happier?
1497But which stories do you mean, he said; and what fault do you find with them?
1497But who can doubt that philosophers should be chosen, if they have the other qualities which are required in a ruler?
1497But why do you ask?
1497But why do you ask?
1497But why should we dispute about names when we have realities of such importance to consider?
1497But why?
1497But will he have no sorrow, or shall we say that although he can not help sorrowing, he will moderate his sorrow?
1497But will he not desire to get them on the spot?
1497But will the imitator have either?
1497But will you let me assume, without reciting them, that these things are true?
1497But would any of your guardians think or speak of any other guardian as a stranger?
1497But would you call the painter a creator and maker?
1497But you can cut off a vine- branch with a dagger or with a chisel, and in many other ways?
1497But you see that without the addition of some other nature there is no seeing or being seen?
1497But, if Homer never did any public service, was he privately a guide or teacher of any?
1497By heaven, would not such an one be a rare educator?
1497Can I say what I do not know?
1497Can a man help imitating that with which he holds reverential converse?
1497Can any man be courageous who has the fear of death in him?
1497Can any other origin of a State be imagined?
1497Can any reality come up to the idea?
1497Can he have an opinion which is an opinion about nothing?
1497Can justice produce injustice any more than the art of horsemanship can make bad horsemen, or heat produce cold?
1497Can sight adequately perceive them?
1497Can the god of Jealousy himself find any fault with such an assemblage of good qualities?
1497Can the same nature be a lover of wisdom and a lover of falsehood?
1497Can there be any greater evil than discord and distraction and plurality where unity ought to reign?
1497Can they have a better place than between being and not- being?
1497Can we any longer doubt, then, that the miser and money- maker answers to the oligarchical State?
1497Can we deny that a warrior should have a knowledge of arithmetic?
1497Can we suppose that he is ignorant of antiquity, and therefore has recourse to invention?
1497Can you tell me what imitation is?
1497Can you tell me whence I derive this inference?
1497Capital, I said; but let me ask you once more: Shall they be a family in name only; or shall they in all their actions be true to the name?
1497Certainly, the same principle holds; but why does this involve any particular skill?
1497Deteriorated, that is to say, in the good qualities of horses, not of dogs?
1497Did he mean that I was to give back arms to a madman?
1497Did this never strike you as curious?
1497Did you ever hear any of them which were not?
1497Did you hear all the advantages of the unjust which Thrasymachus was rehearsing?
1497Did you never hear it?
1497Did you never observe how the mind of a clever rogue peers out of his eyes, and the more clearly he sees, the more evil he does?
1497Did you never observe in the arts how the potters''boys look on and help, long before they touch the wheel?
1497Do I take you with me?
1497Do they by attaching to the soul and inhering in her at last bring her to death, and so separate her from the body?
1497Do we admit the existence of opinion?
1497Do you agree?
1497Do you know of any other?
1497Do you know where you will have to look if you want to discover his rogueries?
1497Do you know, I said, that governments vary as the dispositions of men vary, and that there must be as many of the one as there are of the other?
1497Do you mean that there is no such maker or creator, or that in one sense there might be a maker of all these things but in another not?
1497Do you mean, for example, that he who is mistaken about the sick is a physician in that he is mistaken?
1497Do you not know that all this is but the prelude to the actual strain which we have to learn?
1497Do you not know that the soul is immortal?
1497Do you not know, I said, that the true lie, if such an expression may be allowed, is hated of gods and men?
1497Do you not remark, I said, how great is the evil which dialectic has introduced?
1497Do you not see them doing the same?
1497Do you observe that we were not far wrong in our guess that temperance was a sort of harmony?
1497Do you remember?
1497Do you see that there is a way in which you could make them all yourself?
1497Do you suppose that I call him who is mistaken the stronger at the time when he is mistaken?
1497Do you think it right that Hellenes should enslave Hellenic States, or allow others to enslave them, if they can help?
1497Do you think that the possession of all other things is of any value if we do not possess the good?
1497Do you think that there is anything so very unnatural or inexcusable in their case?
1497Does he not call the other pleasures necessary, under the idea that if there were no necessity for them, he would rather not have them?
1497Does not like always attract like?
1497Does not the practice of despoiling an enemy afford an excuse for not facing the battle?
1497Does not the timocratical man change into the oligarchical on this wise?
1497Does that look well?
1497Does the injustice or other evil which exists in the soul waste and consume her?
1497Does the just man try to gain any advantage over the just?
1497Each of them, I said, is such as his like is?
1497Enough of gods and heroes;--what shall we say about men?
1497Enough, my friend; but what is enough while anything remains wanting?
1497Ethics),''Whether the virtues are one or many?''
1497Every act does something to somebody; and following this analogy, Socrates asks, What is this due and proper thing which justice does, and to whom?
1497Except a city?--or would you include a city?
1497First of all, in regard to slavery?
1497First you began with a geometry of plane surfaces?
1497First, then, they resemble one another in the value which they set upon wealth?
1497For all these things are only the prelude, and you surely do not suppose that a mere mathematician is also a dialectician?
1497For concerning political measures, we chiefly ask: How will they affect the happiness of mankind?
1497For example, I said, can the same thing be at rest and in motion at the same time in the same part?
1497For if Agamemnon could not count his feet( and without number how could he?)
1497For what purpose do you conceive that we have come here, said Thrasymachus,--to look for gold, or to hear discourse?
1497For which the art has to consider and provide?
1497For you surely would not regard the skilled mathematician as a dialectician?
1497Further, I said, has not a drunken man also the spirit of a tyrant?
1497Further, the very faculty which is the instrument of judgment is not possessed by the covetous or ambitious man, but only by the philosopher?
1497Further, there can be no doubt that a work is spoilt when not done at the right time?
1497God forbid, I replied; but may I ask you to consider the image in another point of view?
1497Good, I said; then you call him who is third in the descent from nature an imitator?
1497Has he not, I said, an occupation; and what profit would there be in his life if he were deprived of his occupation?
1497Has not nature scattered all the qualities which our citizens require indifferently up and down among the two sexes?
1497Has not that been admitted?
1497Has not the intemperate been censured of old, because in him the huge multiform monster is allowed to be too much at large?
1497Have I clearly explained the class which I mean?
1497Have we not here a picture of his way of life?
1497Having effected this, they will proceed to trace an outline of the constitution?
1497Having so many evils, will not the most miserable of men be still more miserable in a public station?
1497He asks only''What good have they done?''
1497He can hardly avoid saying Yes-- can he now?
1497He is a soldier, and, like Adeimantus, has been distinguished at the battle of Megara( anno 456?
1497He knows that this latter institution is not more than four or five thousand years old: may not the end revert to the beginning?
1497He looked at me in astonishment, and said: No, by heaven: And are you really prepared to maintain this?
1497He mentioned that he was present when one of the spirits asked another,''Where is Ardiaeus the Great?''
1497He roared out to the whole company: What folly, Socrates, has taken possession of you all?
1497He said: Who then are the true philosophers?
1497He was present when one of the spirits asked-- Where is Ardiaeus the Great?
1497He who has an opinion has an opinion about some one thing?
1497He will grow more and more indolent and careless?
1497Hence arises the question,''What is great, what is small?''
1497His experience, then, will enable him to judge better than any one?
1497How can that be?
1497How can that be?
1497How can there be?
1497How can they, he said, if they are blind and can not see?
1497How can they, he said, when they are not allowed to apply their minds to the callings of any of these?
1497How can we?
1497How cast off?
1497How do they act?
1497How do you distinguish them?
1497How do you mean?
1497How do you mean?
1497How do you mean?
1497How do you mean?
1497How do you mean?
1497How do you mean?
1497How do you mean?
1497How do you mean?
1497How do you mean?
1497How is he to be wise and also innocent?
1497How many?
1497How so?
1497How so?
1497How so?
1497How so?
1497How so?
1497How so?
1497How so?
1497How so?
1497How so?
1497How so?
1497How then can men and women have the same?
1497How then does a protector begin to change into a tyrant?
1497How was that?
1497How well I remember the aged poet Sophocles, when in answer to the question, How does love suit with age, Sophocles,--are you still the man you were?
1497How will they proceed?
1497How would they address us?
1497How, then, can we be right in supposing that the absence of pain is pleasure, or that the absence of pleasure is pain?
1497How?
1497How?
1497How?
1497How?
1497How?
1497I am sure that I should be contented-- will not you?
1497I assume, I said, that the tyrant is in the third place from the oligarch; the democrat was in the middle?
1497I dare say, Glaucon, that you are as much charmed by her as I am, especially when she appears in Homer?
1497I do not know, do you?
1497I might say the same of the ears; when deprived of their own proper excellence they can not fulfil their end?
1497I presume then that you are going to make one of the interdicted answers?
1497I proceeded to ask: When two things, a greater and less, are called by the same name, are they like or unlike in so far as they are called the same?
1497I repeated, Why am I especially not to be let off?
1497I replied; and if we asked him what due or proper thing is given by medicine, and to whom, what answer do you think that he would make to us?
1497I said; how shall we find a gentle nature which has also a great spirit, for the one is the contradiction of the other?
1497I said; the prelude or what?
1497I should like to know whether you have the same notion which I have of this study?
1497I suppose that you would call justice virtue and injustice vice?
1497I want to know whether ideals are ever fully realized in language?
1497I will be wiser now and acknowledge that we must go to the bottom of another question: What is to be the education of our guardians?
1497I will explain: The body which is large when seen near, appears small when seen at a distance?
1497I will proceed by asking a question: Would you not say that a horse has some end?
1497I will; and first tell me, Do you admit that it is just for subjects to obey their rulers?
1497If wealth and gain were the criterion, then the praise or blame of the lover of gain would surely be the most trustworthy?
1497Imitation is only a kind of play or sport, and the tragic poets, whether they write in Iambic or in Heroic verse, are imitators in the highest degree?
1497In prescribing meats and drinks would he wish to go beyond another physician or beyond the practice of medicine?
1497In the first place, are they not free; and is not the city full of freedom and frankness-- a man may say and do what he likes?
1497In the next place our youth must be temperate?
1497In these cases a man is not compelled to ask of thought the question what is a finger?
1497In this both Plato and Kheyam rise above the level of many Christian(?)
1497In what manner?
1497In what manner?
1497In what particulars?
1497In what point of view?
1497In what respect do you mean?
1497In what respect?
1497In what respects?
1497In what way make allowance?
1497In what way shown?
1497In what way?
1497Including the art of war?
1497Indeed, Thrasymachus, and do I really appear to you to argue like an informer?
1497Is God above or below the idea of good?
1497Is any better than experience and wisdom and reason?
1497Is any better than the old- fashioned sort which is comprehended under the name of music and gymnastic?
1497Is he not a true image of the State which he represents?
1497Is it a third, or akin to one of the preceding?
1497Is it desirable?''
1497Is it for this that we are asked to throw away the civilization which is the growth of ages?
1497Is it not on this wise?--The good at which such a State aims is to become as rich as possible, a desire which is insatiable?
1497Is not Polemarchus your heir?
1497Is not absolute injustice absolute weakness also?
1497Is not his case utterly miserable?
1497Is not honesty the best policy?
1497Is not that still more disgraceful?
1497Is not that true, Thrasymachus?
1497Is not the Republic the vehicle of three or four great truths which, to Plato''s own mind, are most naturally represented in the form of the State?
1497Is not the double also the half, and are not heavy and light relative terms which pass into one another?
1497Is not the noble that which subjects the beast to the man, or rather to the God in man; the ignoble, that which subjects the man to the beast?
1497Is not the noble that which subjects the beast to the man, or rather to the god in man; and the ignoble that which subjects the man to the beast?''
1497Is not the noble youth very like a well- bred dog in respect of guarding and watching?
1497Is not the strength of injustice only a remnant of justice?
1497Is not this the case?
1497Is not this the way-- he is the son of the miserly and oligarchical father who has trained him in his own habits?
1497Is not this true?
1497Is not this unavoidable?
1497Is not to have lost the truth an evil, and to possess the truth a good?
1497Is passion then the same with reason?
1497Is that true?
1497Is the relation between them one of mutual antagonism or of mutual harmony?
1497Is there any State in which you will find more of lamentation and sorrow and groaning and pain?
1497Is there any better criterion than experience and knowledge?
1497Is there any city which he might name?
1497Is there any city which professes to have received laws from you, as Sicily and Italy have from Charondas, Sparta from Lycurgus, Athens from Solon?
1497Is there any other virtue remaining which can compete with wisdom and temperance and courage in the scale of political virtue?
1497Is there anything more?
1497Is there not also a second class of goods, such as knowledge, sight, health, which are desirable not only in themselves, but also for their results?
1497Is there not rather a contradiction in him?
1497Is this a pattern laid up in heaven, or mere vacancy on which he is supposed to gaze with wondering eye?
1497Is this ideal at all the worse for being impracticable?
1497It follows therefore that the good is not the cause of all things, but of the good only?
1497It may also be called temperate, and for the same reasons?
1497Italy and Sicily boast of Charondas, and there is Solon who is renowned among us; but what city has anything to say about you?''
1497Justice and health of mind will be of the company, and temperance will follow after?
1497Labouring in vain, he must end in hating himself and his fruitless occupation?
1497Last comes the lover of gain?
1497Last of all comes the tyrannical man, about whom we have to enquire, Whence is he, and how does he live-- in happiness or in misery?
1497Last of all comes the tyrannical man; about whom we have once more to ask, how is he formed out of the democratical?
1497Let me ask you a question: Are not the several arts different, by reason of their each having a separate function?
1497Let me explain: Can you see, except with the eye?
1497Let us examine this: Is not pleasure opposed to pain, and is there not a mean state which is neither?
1497Let us take any common instance; there are beds and tables in the world-- plenty of them, are there not?
1497Like husbandry for the acquisition of corn?
1497Like ourselves, I replied; and they see only their own shadows, or the shadows of one another, which the fire throws on the opposite wall of the cave?
1497Look at the matter thus:--Hunger, thirst, and the like, are inanitions of the bodily state?
1497Male and female animals have the same pursuits-- why not also the two sexes of man?
1497May I ask, Cephalus, whether your fortune was for the most part inherited or acquired by you?
1497May I have the pleasure, he said, of hearing your opinion?
1497May I suppose that you have this distinction of the visible and intelligible fixed in your mind?
1497May it not be defined as a period of about twenty years in a woman''s life, and thirty in a man''s?
1497May not the relation of sight to this deity be described as follows?
1497May there not be the alternative, I said, that we may persuade you to let us go?
1497May we not be satisfied with that?
1497May we not say that these desires spend, and that the others make money because they conduce to production?
1497May we not say that this is the end of a pruning- hook?
1497May we say so, then?
1497Must he not either perish at the hands of his enemies, or from being a man become a wolf-- that is, a tyrant?
1497Must we not ask who are to be rulers and who subjects?
1497Must we not then infer that the individual is wise in the same way, and in virtue of the same quality which makes the State wise?
1497My question is only whether the just man, while refusing to have more than another just man, would wish and claim to have more than the unjust?
1497Nay, are they not wholly different?
1497Need I ask again whether the eye has an end?
1497Need I recall the original image of the philosopher?
1497Neither may they imitate smiths or other artificers, or oarsmen, or boatswains, or the like?
1497Neither must they represent slaves, male or female, performing the offices of slaves?
1497Neither sight nor the eye in which sight resides is the sun?
1497Neither will he ever break faith where there have been oaths or agreements?
1497Neither would you approve of the delicacies, as they are thought, of Athenian confectionary?
1497Neither, I said, can there be any question that the guardian who is to keep anything should have eyes rather than no eyes?
1497Next as to the slain; ought the conquerors, I said, to take anything but their armour?
1497Next, as to war; what are to be the relations of your soldiers to one another and to their enemies?
1497Next, how shall our soldiers treat their enemies?
1497Next, we shall ask our opponent how, in reference to any of the pursuits or arts of civic life, the nature of a woman differs from that of a man?
1497Niebuhr has asked a trifling question, which may be briefly noticed in this place-- Was Plato a good citizen?
1497No more than this?
1497No one will be less likely to commit adultery, or to dishonour his father and mother, or to fail in his religious duties?
1497No, indeed, I replied; and the same is true of most, if not all, the other senses-- you would not say that any of them requires such an addition?
1497Nonsense, said Glaucon: did you not promise to search yourself, saying that for you not to help justice in her need would be an impiety?
1497Nor by reason of a knowledge which advises about brazen pots, I said, nor as possessing any other similar knowledge?
1497Nor can the good harm any one?
1497Nor may they imitate the neighing of horses, the bellowing of bulls, the murmur of rivers and roll of the ocean, thunder, and all that sort of thing?
1497Nor would you say that medicine is the art of receiving pay because a man takes fees when he is engaged in healing?
1497Nor yet by reason of a knowledge which cultivates the earth; that would give the city the name of agricultural?
1497Nor, if a man is to be in condition, would you allow him to have a Corinthian girl as his fair friend?
1497Not to mention the importers and exporters, who are called merchants?
1497Not, perhaps, in this brief span of life: but should an immortal being care about anything short of eternity?
1497Now are we to maintain that all these and any who have similar tastes, as well as the professors of quite minor arts, are philosophers?
1497Now can we be right in praising and admiring another who is doing that which any one of us would abominate and be ashamed of in his own person?
1497Now in vessels which are in a state of mutiny and by sailors who are mutineers, how will the true pilot be regarded?
1497Now is there not here a third principle which is often found to come to the assistance of reason against desire, but never of desire against reason?
1497Now to which of these classes does temperance belong?
1497Now what man answers to this form of government- how did he come into being, and what is he like?
1497Now what opinion of any other Sophist, or of any private person, can be expected to overcome in such an unequal contest?
1497Now which is the purer satisfaction-- that of eating and drinking, or that of knowledge?
1497Now why is such an inference erroneous?
1497Now you understand me?
1497Now, I beseech you, do tell me, have you ever attended to their pairing and breeding?
1497Now, I said, every art has an interest?
1497Now, are not the best husbandmen those who are most devoted to husbandry?
1497Now, can we find justice without troubling ourselves about temperance?
1497Now, how shall we decide between them?
1497Now, in such a State, can liberty have any limit?
1497Now, ought a man to feel pleasure in seeing another do what he hates and abominates in himself?
1497Now, will you appeal to mankind in general or to the philosopher?
1497O my friend, is not that so?
1497Of course you know that ambition and avarice are held to be, as indeed they are, a disgrace?
1497Of not- being, ignorance was assumed to be the necessary correlative; of being, knowledge?
1497Of the painter we say that he will paint reins, and he will paint a bit?
1497Of the three individuals, which has the greatest experience of all the pleasures which we enumerated?
1497Of what kind?
1497Of what nature are you speaking?
1497Of what nature?
1497Of what sort?
1497Of what tales are you speaking?
1497On what principle, then, shall we any longer choose justice rather than the worst injustice?
1497Once more let me ask: Does he who desires any class of goods, desire the whole class or a part only?
1497Once more then, O my friend, we have alighted upon an easy question-- whether the soul has these three principles or not?
1497One of them is ready to follow the guidance of the law?
1497One principle prevails in the souls of one class of men, another in others, as may happen?
1497One woman has a gift of healing, another not; one is a musician, and another has no music in her nature?
1497Or any affinity to virtue in general?
1497Or be jealous of one who has no jealousy?
1497Or because a man is in good health when he receives pay you would not say that the art of payment is medicine?
1497Or can such an one account death fearful?
1497Or did he only seem to be a member of the ruling body, although in truth he was neither ruler nor subject, but just a spendthrift?
1497Or drought moisture?
1497Or have the arts to look only after their own interests?
1497Or hear, except with the ear?
1497Or if honour or victory or courage, in that case the judgment of the ambitious or pugnacious would be the truest?
1497Or is the Idea of Good another mode of conceiving God?
1497Or is there any Homeric way of life, such as the Pythagorean was, in which you instructed men, and which is called after you?
1497Or like shoemaking for the acquisition of shoes,--that is what you mean?
1497Or must we admit exceptions?
1497Or perhaps he may tell a lie because he is afraid of enemies?
1497Or shall I guess for you?
1497Or shall the dead be despoiled?
1497Or suppose a better sort of man who is attracted towards philosophy, will they not make Herculean efforts to spoil and corrupt him?
1497Or that his nature, being such as we have delineated, is akin to the highest good?
1497Or the horseman by his art make them bad horsemen?
1497Or the verse''The saddest of fates is to die and meet destiny from hunger?''
1497Or was any war ever carried on by your counsels?
1497Or what shall he profit by escaping discovery, if the concealment of evil prevents the cure?
1497Or when they are on a voyage, amid the perils of the sea?
1497Or will they prefer those whom we have rejected?
1497Or, after all, they may be in the right, and poets do really know the things about which they seem to the many to speak so well?
1497Or, if the master would not stay, then the disciples would have followed him about everywhere, until they had got education enough?
1497Ought I not to begin by describing how the change from timocracy to oligarchy arises?
1497Ought I, for example, to put back into the hands of my friend, who has gone mad, the sword which I borrowed of him when he was in his right mind?
1497Our State like every other has rulers and subjects?
1497Parents and tutors are always telling their sons and their wards that they are to be just; but why?
1497Perhaps he of whom we say the last will be angry with us; can we pacify him without revealing the disorder of his mind?
1497Presently he finds that imputations are cast upon them; a troublesome querist comes and asks,''What is the just and good?''
1497Reflect: is not the dreamer, sleeping or waking, one who likens dissimilar things, who puts the copy in the place of the real object?
1497Reflect: when a man has an opinion, has he not an opinion about something?
1497Reflecting upon these and similar evils, you held the tyrannical State to be the most miserable of States?
1497Salvation of what?
1497Say, then, is not pleasure opposed to pain?
1497Shall Hellenes be enslaved?
1497Shall I assume that we ourselves are able and experienced judges and have before now met with such a person?
1497Shall I give you an illustration of them?
1497Shall I give you an illustration?
1497Shall I tell you whose I believe the saying to be?
1497Shall I tell you why?
1497Shall they listen to the narrative of Hephaestus binding his mother, and of Zeus sending him flying for helping her when she was beaten?
1497Shall we begin by assuring him that he is welcome to any knowledge which he may have, and that we are rejoiced at his having it?
1497Shall we begin education with music, and go on to gymnastic afterwards?
1497Shall we not?
1497Shall we propose, as a third branch of our education, astronomy?
1497Shall we, after the manner of Homer, pray the Muses to tell us''how discord first arose''?
1497Shall we, then, speak of Him as the natural author or maker of the bed?
1497Should not their custom be to spare them, considering the danger which there is that the whole race may one day fall under the yoke of the barbarians?
1497Socrates, what do you mean?
1497Socrates, who is evidently preparing for an argument, next asks, What is the meaning of the word justice?
1497Socrates; do you want to know how much I acquired?
1497Something that is or is not?
1497Something that is; for how can that which is not ever be known?
1497Still, I should like to ascertain how astronomy can be learned in any manner more conducive to that knowledge of which we are speaking?
1497Still, the dangers of war can not be always foreseen; there is a good deal of chance about them?
1497Such is the tale; is there any possibility of making our citizens believe in it?
1497Such will be the change, and after the change has been made, how will they proceed?
1497Such, then, are the palms of victory which the gods give the just?
1497Suppose now that by the light of the examples just offered we enquire who this imitator is?
1497Suppose we call it the contentious or ambitious-- would the term be suitable?
1497Suppose we select an example of either kind, in order that we may have a general notion of them?
1497Tell me then, O thou heir of the argument, what did Simonides say, and according to you truly say, about justice?
1497Tell me, Thrasymachus, I said, did you mean by justice what the stronger thought to be his interest, whether really so or not?
1497Tell me: will he be more likely to struggle and hold out against his sorrow when he is seen by his equals, or when he is alone?
1497That is also good, he said; but I should like to know what you mean?
1497That is his meaning then?
1497That is quite true, he said; but to what are you alluding?
1497That is to say, justice is useful when money is useless?
1497That since beauty is the opposite of ugliness, they are two?
1497That there are three arts which are concerned with all things: one which uses, another which makes, a third which imitates them?
1497That will be the way?
1497The State which we have been describing is said to be wise as being good in counsel?
1497The existence of such persons is to be attributed to want of education, ill- training, and an evil constitution of the State?
1497The good which oligarchy proposed to itself and the means by which it was maintained was excess of wealth-- am I not right?
1497The imitative artist will be in a brilliant state of intelligence about his own creations?
1497The just man then, if we regard the idea of justice only, will be like the just State?
1497The man is mean, saving, toiling, the slave of one passion which is the master of the rest: Is he not the very image of the State?
1497The next question is, How shall we treat our enemies?
1497The next question is, Who are to be our rulers?
1497The object of one is food, and of the other drink?
1497The one love and embrace the subjects of knowledge, the other those of opinion?
1497The pleasure of eating is necessary in two ways; it does us good and it is essential to the continuance of life?
1497The process is as follows: When a potter becomes rich, will he, think you, any longer take the same pains with his art?
1497The question is asked,--Why are the citizens of states so hostile to philosophy?
1497The ruler may impose the laws and institutions which we have been describing, and the citizens may possibly be willing to obey them?
1497The second paradox leads up to some curious and interesting questions-- How far can the mind control the body?
1497The soul, I said, being, as is now proven, immortal, must be the fairest of compositions and can not be compounded of many elements?
1497The true lie is hated not only by the gods, but also by men?
1497The true lover of learning then must from his earliest youth, as far as in him lies, desire all truth?
1497The very great benefit has next to be established?
1497The whole period of three score years and ten is surely but a little thing in comparison with eternity?
1497Their pleasures are mixed with pains-- how can they be otherwise?
1497Then I may infer courage to be such as you describe?
1497Then I suppose that opinion appears to you to be darker than knowledge, but lighter than ignorance?
1497Then I suppose that we ought to do good to the just and harm to the unjust?
1497Then a city is not to be called wise because possessing a knowledge which counsels for the best about wooden implements?
1497Then a soul which forgets can not be ranked among genuine philosophic natures; we must insist that the philosopher should have a good memory?
1497Then according to your argument it is just to injure those who do no wrong?
1497Then an evil soul must necessarily be an evil ruler and superintendent, and the good soul a good ruler?
1497Then are we to impose all our enactments on men and none of them on women?
1497Then carpenters, and smiths, and many other artisans, will be sharers in our little State, which is already beginning to grow?
1497Then clearly the next thing will be to make matrimony sacred in the highest degree, and what is most beneficial will be deemed sacred?
1497Then comparing our original city, which was under a king, and the city which is under a tyrant, how do they stand as to virtue?
1497Then everything which is good, whether made by art or nature, or both, is least liable to suffer change from without?
1497Then he can hardly be compelled by external influence to take many shapes?
1497Then he who is a good keeper of anything is also a good thief?
1497Then he who is to be a really good and noble guardian of the State will require to unite in himself philosophy and spirit and swiftness and strength?
1497Then he will no more have true opinion than he will have knowledge about the goodness or badness of his imitations?
1497Then hirelings will help to make up our population?
1497Then how can he who has magnificence of mind and is the spectator of all time and all existence, think much of human life?
1497Then if being is the subject- matter of knowledge, something else must be the subject- matter of opinion?
1497Then if geometry compels us to view being, it concerns us; if becoming only, it does not concern us?
1497Then if the constitutions of States are five, the dispositions of individual minds will also be five?
1497Then if the man is like the State, I said, must not the same rule prevail?
1497Then if there be any city which may be described as master of its own pleasures and desires, and master of itself, ours may claim such a designation?
1497Then in every way the laws will help the citizens to keep the peace with one another?
1497Then in making their laws they may sometimes make them rightly, and sometimes not?
1497Then in this case the narrative of the poet may be said to proceed by way of imitation?
1497Then in this kind of State there will be the greatest variety of human natures?
1497Then in time of peace justice will be of no use?
1497Then in time of peace what is the good of justice?
1497Then it will be our duty to select, if we can, natures which are fitted for the task of guarding the city?
1497Then justice, according to your argument, is not only obedience to the interest of the stronger but the reverse?
1497Then knowledge and opinion having distinct powers have also distinct spheres or subject- matters?
1497Then medicine does not consider the interest of medicine, but the interest of the body?
1497Then men who are injured are of necessity made unjust?
1497Then more husbandmen and more artisans will be required?
1497Then must not a further admission be made?
1497Then no intemperance or madness should be allowed to approach true love?
1497Then no motive can be imagined why God should lie?
1497Then now comes the question,--How shall we create our rulers; what way is there from darkness to light?
1497Then on this view also justice will be admitted to be the having and doing what is a man''s own, and belongs to him?
1497Then opinion and knowledge have to do with different kinds of matter corresponding to this difference of faculties?
1497Then opinion is not concerned either with being or with not- being?
1497Then reflect; has the ear or voice need of any third or additional nature in order that the one may be able to hear and the other to be heard?
1497Then shall we propose this as a second branch of knowledge which our youth will study?
1497Then shall we try to find some way of convincing him, if we can, that he is saying what is not true?
1497Then that is not the knowledge which we are seeking to discover?
1497Then that part of the soul which has an opinion contrary to measure is not the same with that which has an opinion in accordance with measure?
1497Then the art of war partakes of them?
1497Then the community of wives and children among our citizens is clearly the source of the greatest good to the State?
1497Then the cowardly and mean nature has no part in true philosophy?
1497Then the intermediate state of rest will be pleasure and will also be pain?
1497Then the just is happy, and the unjust miserable?
1497Then the just is like the wise and good, and the unjust like the evil and ignorant?
1497Then the just soul and the just man will live well, and the unjust man will live ill?
1497Then the lover of wisdom has a great advantage over the lover of gain, for he has a double experience?
1497Then the lying poet has no place in our idea of God?
1497Then the soul of the thirsty one, in so far as he is thirsty, desires only drink; for this he yearns and tries to obtain it?
1497Then the sun is not sight, but the author of sight who is recognised by sight?
1497Then the superhuman and divine is absolutely incapable of falsehood?
1497Then the tyrant is removed from true pleasure by the space of a number which is three times three?
1497Then the tyrant will live at the greatest distance from true or natural pleasure, and the king at the least?
1497Then the wise and good will not desire to gain more than his like, but more than his unlike and opposite?
1497Then the world can not possibly be a philosopher?
1497Then there is nothing impossible or out of the order of nature in our finding a guardian who has a similar combination of qualities?
1497Then there must be another class of citizens who will bring the required supply from another city?
1497Then they will quarrel as those who intend some day to be reconciled?
1497Then this is the progress which you call dialectic?
1497Then this new kind of knowledge must have an additional quality?
1497Then to injure a friend or any one else is not the act of a just man, but of the opposite, who is the unjust?
1497Then to them the good will be enemies and the evil will be their friends?
1497Then virtue is the health and beauty and well- being of the soul, and vice the disease and weakness and deformity of the same?
1497Then we have found the desired natures; and now that we have found them, how are they to be reared and educated?
1497Then we have made an enactment not only possible but in the highest degree beneficial to the State?
1497Then we have now, I said, the second form of government and the second type of character?
1497Then we may assume that our athletes will be able to fight with two or three times their own number?
1497Then we may begin by assuming that there are three classes of men-- lovers of wisdom, lovers of honour, lovers of gain?
1497Then we must abstain from spoiling the dead or hindering their burial?
1497Then we shall want merchants?
1497Then what is that joint use of silver or gold in which the just man is to be preferred?
1497Then what is your meaning?
1497Then what will you do with them?
1497Then when the person who asks me is not in his right mind I am by no means to make the return?
1497Then who is more miserable?
1497Then why are they paid?
1497Then why not sin and pay for indulgences out of your sin?
1497Then why should you mind?
1497Then will not the citizens be good and civilized?
1497Then women must be taught music and gymnastic and also the art of war, which they must practise like the men?
1497Then would you call injustice malignity?
1497Then you never heard of the saying of Phocylides, that as soon as a man has a livelihood he should practise virtue?
1497Then you will make a law that they shall have such an education as will enable them to attain the greatest skill in asking and answering questions?
1497Then you would infer that opinion is intermediate?
1497Then you would not approve of Syracusan dinners, and the refinements of Sicilian cookery?
1497Then, I said, if these and these only are to be used in our songs and melodies, we shall not want multiplicity of notes or a panharmonic scale?
1497Then, I said, no science or art considers or enjoins the interest of the stronger or superior, but only the interest of the subject and weaker?
1497Then, I said, our guardians must lay the foundations of their fortress in music?
1497Then, again, within the city, how will they exchange their productions?
1497Then, do you see any way in which the philosopher can be preserved in his calling to the end?
1497Then, if there be any good which all artists have in common, that is to be attributed to something of which they all have the common use?
1497Then, if women are to have the same duties as men, they must have the same nurture and education?
1497Then, under the influence either of poverty or of wealth, workmen and their work are equally liable to degenerate?
1497There is a thing which you call good and another which you call evil?
1497There is another which is the work of the carpenter?
1497There is the knowledge of the carpenter; but is that the sort of knowledge which gives a city the title of wise and good in counsel?
1497There may come a time when the saying,''Have I not a right to do what I will with my own?''
1497There were two parts in our former scheme of education, were there not?
1497There you are right, he replied; but if any one asks where are such models to be found and of what tales are you speaking-- how shall we answer him?
1497These are the three styles-- which of them is to be admitted into our State?
1497These matters, however, as I was saying, had better be referred to Damon himself, for the analysis of the subject would be difficult, you know?
1497These then may be truly said to be the ends of these organs?
1497These, then, are the two kinds of style?
1497They are like faces which were never really beautiful, but only blooming; and now the bloom of youth has passed away from them?
1497They will use friendly correction, but will not enslave or destroy their opponents; they will be correctors, not enemies?
1497This, I said, is he who begins to make a party against the rich?
1497This, then, will be the first great defect of oligarchy?
1497Thrasymachus said,''Do you think that we have come hither to dig for gold, or to hear you discourse?''
1497Thus much of music, which makes a fair ending; for what should be the end of music if not the love of beauty?
1497To be sure, he said; how can he think otherwise?
1497To return to the tyrant-- How will he support that rare army of his?
1497To tell the truth and pay your debts?
1497To what do you refer?
1497To what do you refer?
1497True, I said; but would you never allow them to run any risk?
1497True, he replied; but what of that?
1497True, he said; how could they see anything but the shadows if they were never allowed to move their heads?
1497Undoubtedly; and yet if music and gymnastic are excluded, and the arts are also excluded, what remains?
1497Union and force and rhetoric will do much; and if men say that they can not prevail over the gods, still how do we know that there are gods?
1497Until some one rare and grand result is reached which may be good, and may be the reverse of good?
1497Very good, I said; then what is the next question?
1497Very good, Thrasymachus, I said; and now to take the case of the arts: you would admit that one man is a musician and another not a musician?
1497Very true, Adeimantus; but then, would any one, whether God or man, desire to make himself worse?
1497Very true, I said; that is what I have to do: But will you be so good as answer yet one more question?
1497Very true, he said; but what are these forms of theology which you mean?
1497Very true, said Adeimantus; but how does the illustration apply to our enquiry?
1497Was not the selection of the male guardians determined by differences of this sort?
1497Was not this the beginning of the enquiry''What is great?''
1497We acknowledged-- did we not?
1497We are not wrong therefore in calling them necessary?
1497We can not but remember that the justice of the State consisted in each of the three classes doing the work of its own class?
1497We had to consider, first, whether our proposals were possible, and secondly whether they were the most beneficial?
1497We must recollect that the individual in whom the several qualities of his nature do their own work will be just, and will do his own work?
1497We were saying that the parents should be in the prime of life?
1497We were saying, when we spoke of the subject- matter, that we had no need of lamentation and strains of sorrow?
1497Well said, Cephalus, I replied; but as concerning justice, what is it?--to speak the truth and to pay your debts-- no more than this?
1497Well then, here are three beds: one existing in nature, which is made by God, as I think that we may say-- for no one else can be the maker?
1497Well then, is not- being the subject- matter of opinion?
1497Well then, you would admit that the qualities of states mean the qualities of the individuals who compose them?
1497Well, I said, and how does the change from oligarchy into democracy arise?
1497Well, I said, and in oligarchical States do you not find paupers?
1497Well, I said, and is there no evil which corrupts the soul?
1497Well, I said, and you would agree( would you not?)
1497Well, I said, the subject has several difficulties-- What is possible?
1497Well, I said; but if we suppose a change in anything, that change must be effected either by the thing itself, or by some other thing?
1497Well, and are these of any military use?
1497Well, and can the eyes fulfil their end if they are wanting in their own proper excellence and have a defect instead?
1497Well, and do you think that those who say so are wrong?
1497Well, and is not this one quality, to mention no others, greatly at variance with present notions of him?
1497Well, and were we not creating an ideal of a perfect State?
1497Well, and your guardian must be brave if he is to fight well?
1497Well, but can you imagine that God will be willing to lie, whether in word or deed, or to put forth a phantom of himself?
1497Well, but has any one a right to say positively what he does not know?
1497Well, but if they are ever to run a risk should they not do so on some occasion when, if they escape disaster, they will be the better for it?
1497Well, but is there any war on record which was carried on successfully by him, or aided by his counsels, when he was alive?
1497Well, but what ought to be the criterion?
1497Well, he said, have you never heard that forms of government differ; there are tyrannies, and there are democracies, and there are aristocracies?
1497Well, there is another question: By friends and enemies do we mean those who are so really, or only in seeming?
1497Well, you know of course that the greater is relative to the less?
1497Well; and has not the soul an end which nothing else can fulfil?
1497Were not these your words?
1497What about this?
1497What admission?
1497What admissions?
1497What are these corruptions?
1497What are they, he said, and where shall I find them?
1497What are they?
1497What are they?
1497What are they?
1497What are you going to say?
1497What causes?
1497What defect?
1497What did I borrow?
1497What division?
1497What do they say?
1497What do you deserve to have done to you?
1497What do you mean, Socrates?
1497What do you mean?
1497What do you mean?
1497What do you mean?
1497What do you mean?
1497What do you mean?
1497What do you mean?

1497What do you mean?
1497What do you mean?
1497What do you mean?
1497What do you mean?
1497What do you say?
1497What do you say?
1497What do you say?
1497What do you say?''
1497What do you think?
1497What else can they do?
1497What else then would you say?
1497What else would you have?
1497What evil?
1497What evil?
1497What evils?
1497What faculty?
1497What good?
1497What is desirable?
1497What is it?
1497What is it?
1497What is it?
1497What is most required?
1497What is that you are saying?
1497What is that?
1497What is that?
1497What is that?
1497What is that?
1497What is that?
1497What is that?
1497What is that?
1497What is the difference?
1497What is the process?
1497What is the proposition?
1497What is there remaining?
1497What is to be done then?
1497What is your illustration?
1497What is your notion?
1497What is your proposal?
1497What limit would you propose?
1497What makes you say that?
1497What may that be?
1497What may that be?
1497What may that be?
1497What of this line,''O heavy with wine, who hast the eyes of a dog and the heart of a stag,''and of the words which follow?
1497What point of view?
1497What point?
1497What point?
1497What principle of rival Sophists or anybody else can overcome in such an unequal contest?
1497What quality?
1497What quality?
1497What question?
1497What shall he profit, if his injustice be undetected and unpunished?
1497What shall we say to him?
1497What should they fear?
1497What sort of instances do you mean?
1497What sort of knowledge is there which would draw the soul from becoming to being?
1497What sort of lie?
1497What sort of mischief?
1497What study do you mean-- of the prelude, or what?
1497What tale?
1497What the poets and story- tellers say-- that the wicked prosper and the righteous are afflicted, or that justice is another''s gain?
1497What then is the real object of them?
1497What then?
1497What trait?
1497What was the error, Polemarchus?
1497What was the mistake?
1497What was the omission?
1497What way?
1497What will be the issue of such marriages?
1497What will be the issue of such marriages?
1497What will they doubt?
1497What, Thrasymachus, is the meaning of this?
1497What, again, is the meaning of light and heavy, if that which is light is also heavy, and that which is heavy, light?
1497What, are there any greater still?
1497What, he said, is there a knowledge still higher than this-- higher than justice and the other virtues?
1497What, now, I said, if he were able to run away and then turn and strike at the one who first came up?
1497What, then, he said, is still remaining to us of the work of legislation?
1497What, then, is the nature of dialectic, and what are the paths which lead thither?''
1497What?
1497What?
1497When Simonides said that the repayment of a debt was justice, he did not mean to include that case?
1497When a man can not measure, and a great many others who can not measure declare that he is four cubits high, can he help believing what they say?
1497When he is by himself he will not mind saying or doing many things which he would be ashamed of any one hearing or seeing him do?
1497When horses are injured, are they improved or deteriorated?
1497When is this accomplished?
1497When mankind see that the happiness of states is only to be found in that image, will they be angry with us for attempting to delineate it?
1497When they make them rightly, they make them agreeably to their interest; when they are mistaken, contrary to their interest; you admit that?
1497Where must I look?
1497Where then is he to gain experience?
1497Where then?
1497Where, then, is justice, and where is injustice, and in what part of the State did they spring up?
1497Whereas he who has a taste for every sort of knowledge and who is curious to learn and is never satisfied, may be justly termed a philosopher?
1497Whereas the bad and ignorant will desire to gain more than both?
1497Whereas the physician and the carpenter have different natures?
1497Whereas true love is a love of beauty and order-- temperate and harmonious?
1497Which appetites do you mean?
1497Which are they?
1497Which is a just principle?
1497Which of us has spoken truly?
1497Which years do you mean to include?
1497Who better suited to raise the question of justice than Cephalus, whose life might seem to be the expression of it?
1497Who can be at enmity with one who loves them, who that is himself gentle and free from envy will be jealous of one in whom there is no jealousy?
1497Who can hate a man who loves him?
1497Who can measure probabilities against certainties?
1497Who can weigh virtue, or even fortune against health, or moral and mental qualities against bodily?
1497Who is he?
1497Who is it, I said, whom you are refusing to let off?
1497Who is that?
1497Who that is not a miserable caitiff will refrain from smiling at the praises of justice?
1497Who then are those whom we shall compel to be guardians?
1497Who then can be a guardian?
1497Who was that?
1497Whom, I said, are you not going to let off?
1497Whose is that light which makes the eye to see perfectly and the visible to appear?
1497Whose?
1497Why do you ask such a question, I said, when you ought rather to be answering?
1497Why do you ask?
1497Why do you say so?
1497Why great caution?
1497Why indeed, he said, when any name will do which expresses the thought of the mind with clearness?
1497Why is that?
1497Why not, as Aeschylus says, utter the word which rises to our lips?
1497Why not?
1497Why not?
1497Why not?
1497Why not?
1497Why not?
1497Why should he?
1497Why should they not be?
1497Why so?
1497Why so?
1497Why so?
1497Why so?
1497Why, I replied, what do you want more?
1497Why, I said, do you not see that men are unwillingly deprived of good, and willingly of evil?
1497Why, I said, what was ever great in a short time?
1497Why, in the first place, although they are all of a good sort, are not some better than others?
1497Why, what else is there?
1497Why, where can they still find any ground for objection?
1497Why, yes, I said, of course they answer truly; how can the Muses speak falsely?
1497Why, yes, he said: how can any reasonable being ever identify that which is infallible with that which errs?
1497Why, you do not mean to say that the tyrant will use violence?
1497Why?
1497Why?
1497Why?
1497Why?
1497Will any one deny the other point, that there may be sons of kings or princes who are by nature philosophers?
1497Will any private training enable him to stand firm against the overwhelming flood of popular opinion?
1497Will he know from use whether or no his drawing is correct or beautiful?
1497Will he not also require natural aptitude for his calling?
1497Will he not be called by them a prater, a star- gazer, a good- for- nothing?
1497Will he not fancy that the shadows which he formerly saw are truer than the objects which are now shown to him?
1497Will he not have the notions of good and evil which the public in general have-- he will do as they do, and as they are, such will he be?
1497Will he not rather obtain them on the spot?
1497Will he not think that heaven and the things in heaven are framed by the Creator of them in the most perfect manner?
1497Will he not utterly hate a lie?
1497Will horsemen carry torches and pass them one to another during the race?
1497Will not a young man''s heart leap amid these discordant sounds?
1497Will not such an one from his early childhood be in all things first among all, especially if his bodily endowments are like his mental ones?
1497Will not the guardians be the smallest of all the classes who receive a name from the profession of some kind of knowledge?
1497Will not their eyes be dazzled, and will they not try to get away from the light to something which they are able to behold without blinking?
1497Will our citizens ever believe all this?
1497Will the creature feel any compunction at tyrannizing over them?
1497Will the just man or citizen ever be guilty of sacrilege or theft, or treachery either to his friends or to his country?
1497Will the just state or the just individual steal, lie, commit adultery, or be guilty of impiety to gods and men?
1497Will they disbelieve us, when we tell them that no State can be happy which is not designed by artists who imitate the heavenly pattern?
1497Will they doubt that the philosopher is a lover of truth and being?
1497Will they not be sophisms captivating to the ear, having nothing in them genuine, or worthy of or akin to true wisdom?
1497Will they not be vile and bastard, devoid of truth and nature?
1497Will they not be vile and bastard?
1497Will they not produce corn, and wine, and clothes, and shoes, and build houses for themselves?
1497Will you admit so much?
1497Will you enquire yourself?
1497Will you explain your meaning?
1497Will you repay me, then, what you borrowed in the argument?
1497Will you say that the world is of another mind?
1497Will you say whether you approve of my proposal?
1497Will you tell me?
1497Will you tell me?
1497Will you then kindly answer, for the edification of the company and of myself?
1497Would a man who wanted to be safe on a voyage take a bad pilot because he was rich, or refuse a good one because he was poor?
1497Would any one deny this?
1497Would he allow imitation to be the ruling principle of his life, as if he had nothing higher in him?
1497Would he not be worse than Eriphyle, who sold her husband''s life for a necklace?
1497Would he not have had many devoted followers?
1497Would he not rather say or do the same as his like in the same case?
1497Would not he who is fitted to be a guardian, besides the spirited nature, need to have the qualities of a philosopher?
1497Would that be your way of speaking?
1497Would the picture of a perfectly beautiful man be any the worse because no such man ever lived?
1497Would they not have been as unwilling to part with them as with gold, and have compelled them to stay at home with them?
1497Would you agree with me in thinking that the corrupting and destroying element is the evil, and the saving and improving element the good?
1497Would you call one of them virtue and the other vice?
1497Would you have me put the proof bodily into your souls?
1497Would you know the measure of the interval which separates them?
1497Would you like, for the sake of clearness, to distinguish which are the necessary and which are the unnecessary pleasures?
1497Would you say six or four years?
1497Would you say that all men are equal in excellence, or is one man better than another?
1497Would you say that knowledge is a faculty, or in what class would you place it?
1497Yes, I said, a jest; and why?
1497Yes, I said; and the higher principle is ready to follow this suggestion of reason?
1497Yes, I said; and this being true of one must be equally true of all number?
1497Yes, I said; and when a man dies gloriously in war shall we not say, in the first place, that he is of the golden race?
1497Yes, I said; but if this definition of justice also breaks down, what other can be offered?
1497Yes, Socrates, he said, and if you were providing for a city of pigs, how else would you feed the beasts?
1497Yes, but also something more-- Is it not doubtful whether our guardians are to be imitators at all?
1497Yes, but could this ever have happened if Homer had really been the educator of Hellas?
1497Yes, but do not persons often err about good and evil: many who are not good seem to be so, and conversely?
1497Yes, he replied, such is very often the case; but what has that to do with us and our argument?
1497Yes, he said, that sort of thing is certainly very blameable; but what are the stories which you mean?
1497Yes, he said; but what are the characteristics of this form of government, and what are the defects of which we were speaking?
1497Yes, he said; how can I deny it?
1497Yes, that is very true, but may I ask another question?--What do you consider to be the greatest blessing which you have reaped from your wealth?
1497Yes, the greatest; but will you explain yourself?
1497Yes; and is not this true of the government of anything?
1497Yes; but how in such partnerships is the just man of more use than any other man?
1497Yet if he is not the maker, what is he in relation to the bed?
1497Yet of all the organs of sense the eye is the most like the sun?
1497You are aware, I suppose, that all mythology and poetry is a narration of events, either past, present, or to come?
1497You are further aware that most people affirm pleasure to be the good, but the finer sort of wits say it is knowledge?
1497You have answered me, I replied: Well, and may we not further say that our guardians are the best of our citizens?
1497You know that they live securely and have nothing to apprehend from their servants?
1497You mean geometry?
1497You mean that they would shipwreck?
1497You mean that you do not understand the nature of this payment which to the best men is the great inducement to rule?
1497You mean to ask, I said, what will be our answer?
1497You mean to say that the people, from whom he has derived his being, will maintain him and his companions?
1497You mean when money is not wanted, but allowed to lie?
1497You mean, I suspect, to ask whether tragedy and comedy shall be admitted into our State?
1497You recognise the truth of what I have been saying?
1497You remember what people say when they are sick?
1497You remember, I said, how the rulers were chosen before?
1497You say that perfect injustice is more gainful than perfect justice?
1497You think that justice may be of use in peace as well as in war?
1497You will admit that the same education which makes a man a good guardian will make a woman a good guardian; for their original nature is the same?
1497You would agree with me?
1497You would allow, I said, that there is in nature an upper and lower and middle region?
1497You would argue that the good are our friends and the bad our enemies?
1497You would compare them, I said, to those invalids who, having no self- restraint, will not leave off their habits of intemperance?
1497You would not be inclined to say, would you, that navigation is the art of medicine, at least if we are to adopt your exact use of language?
1497You would not deny that those who have any true notion without intelligence are only like blind men who feel their way along the road?
1497and are not the best judges in like manner those who are acquainted with all sorts of moral natures?
1497and does not the actual tyrant lead a worse life than he whose life you determined to be the worst?
1497and even in their peculiar pursuits, are not women often, though in some cases superior to men, ridiculously enough surpassed by them?
1497and he who has tyrannized longest and most, most continually and truly miserable; although this may not be the opinion of men in general?
1497and how does he live, in happiness or in misery?
1497and how shall we manage the period between birth and education, which seems to require the greatest care?
1497and is no difference made by the circumstance that one of the fingers is in the middle and another at the extremity?
1497and must he not be represented as such?
1497and will any education save him from being carried away by the torrent?
1497and you would agree that to conceive things as they are is to possess the truth?
1497and''What is small?''
1497beat his father if he opposes him?
1497he said; are they not capable of defending themselves?
1497he said; ought we to give them a worse life, when they might have a better?
1497he says;''would you have me put the words bodily into your souls?''
1497or any greater good than the bond of unity?
1497or is any invention attributed to you, as there is to Thales and Anacharsis?
1497or is the subject- matter of opinion the same as the subject- matter of knowledge?
1497or that he who errs in arithmetic or grammar is an arithmetician or grammarian at the time when he is making the mistake, in respect of the mistake?
1497or the knowledge of all other things if we have no knowledge of beauty and goodness?
1497or will he be carried away by the stream?
1497or will he have right opinion from being compelled to associate with another who knows and gives him instructions about what he should draw?
1497or will you make allowance for them?
1497or would you include the mixed?
1497or would you prefer to look to yourself only?
1497or, rather, how can there be an opinion at all about not- being?
1497or, suppose them to have no care of human things-- why in either case should we mind about concealment?
1497shall we condescend to legislate on any of these particulars?
1497were you not saying that he too makes, not the idea which, according to our view, is the essence of the bed, but only a particular bed?
1497would he not desire to have more than either the knowing or the ignorant?
1497you are incredulous, are you?
55201Will he,in the language of Pindar,"make justice his high tower, or fortify himself with crooked deceit?"
55201''And a true answer, of course:--but what more have they to say?''
55201''And can we conceive things greater still?''
55201''And do not the natures of men and women differ very much indeed?''
55201''And how will they begin their work?''
55201''And is her proper state ours or some other?''
55201''And what are the highest?''
55201''And what can I do more for you?''
55201''And what will they say?''
55201''But how shall we know the degrees of affinity, when all things are common?''
55201''But if many states join their resources, shall we not be in danger?''
55201''But then how will our poor city be able to go to war against an enemy who has money?''
55201''But will curiosity make a philosopher?
55201''But, Socrates, what is this supreme principle, knowledge or pleasure, or what?
55201''But, my dear Socrates, you are forgetting the main question: Is such a State possible?
55201''But,''said Glaucon, interposing,''are they not to have a relish?''
55201''Do you ask whether tragedy and comedy are to be admitted?''
55201''Glorious, indeed; but what is to follow?''
55201''How can we resist such arguments in favour of injustice?
55201''I do not understand what you mean?''
55201''I should like to know of what constitutions you were speaking?''
55201''Is it possible?
55201''Lover of wisdom,''''lover of knowledge,''are titles which we may fitly apply to that part of the soul?
55201''Socrates,''he says,''what folly is this?--Why do you agree to be vanquished by one another in a pretended argument?''
55201''Surely you are not prepared to prove that?''
55201''Sweet Sir,''we will say to him,''what think you of things esteemed noble and ignoble?
55201''Then how are we to describe the true?''
55201''Then how is such an admission reconcileable with the doctrine that philosophers should be kings?''
55201''Well, and what answer do you give?''
55201''What appetites do you mean?''
55201''What do you mean?''
55201''What, then, shall a man profit, if he gain the whole world''and become more and more wicked?
55201''When a lively- minded ingenuous youth hears all this, what will be his conclusion?
55201''Who is that?''
55201''Will they not think this a hardship?''
55201''You do not mean to say that he will beat his father?''
55201* 330B* Socrates; do you want to know how much I acquired?
55201* 331C* Well said, Cephalus, I replied; but as concerning justice, what is it?--to speak the truth and to pay your debts-- no more than this?
55201* 331E* Tell me then, O thou heir of the argument, what did Simonides say, and according to you truly say, about justice?
55201* 332E* Or when they are on a voyage, amid the perils of the sea?
55201* 333A* You think that justice may be of use in peace as well as in war?
55201* 333B* But is the just man or the skilful player a more useful and better partner at a game of draughts?
55201* 334C* Well, there is another question: By friends and enemies do we mean those who are so really, or only in seeming?
55201* 335* And are our friends to be only the good, and our enemies to be the evil?
55201* 335C* And will not men who are injured be deteriorated in that which is the proper virtue of man?
55201* 336A* Shall I tell you whose I believe the saying to be?
55201* 336C* And why, sillybillies, do you knock under to one another?
55201* 337D* But what if I give you an answer about justice other and better, he said, than any of these?
55201* 339C* But are the rulers of states absolutely infallible, or are they sometimes liable to err?
55201* 339D* Then justice, according to your argument, is not only obedience to the interest of the stronger but the reverse?
55201* 341C* And do you imagine, I said, that I am such a madman as to try and cheat, Thrasymachus?
55201* 341E* What do you mean?
55201* 342C* Then medicine does not consider the interest of medicine, but the interest of the body?
55201* 343*''Tell me, Socrates,''he says,''have you a nurse?''
55201* 346* Then why are they paid?
55201* 346E* But does he therefore confer no benefit when he works for nothing?
55201* 348A* Did you hear all the advantages of the unjust which Thrasymachus was rehearsing?
55201* 348D* Then would you call injustice malignity?
55201* 349B* Very true, I said; that is what I have to do: But will you be so good as answer yet one more question?
55201* 350A* And what would you say of the physician?
55201* 350C* And you also said that the just will not go beyond his like but his unlike?
55201* 351E* And even if injustice be found in two only, will they not quarrel and fight, and become enemies to one another and to the just?
55201* 352B* But if so, the unjust will be the enemy of the gods, and the just will be their friend?
55201* 353A* But you can cut off a vine- branch with a dagger or with a chisel, and in many other ways?
55201* 353D* And the same observation will apply to all other things?
55201* 353E* And can she or can she not fulfil her own ends when deprived of that excellence?
55201* 354A* And he who lives well is blessed and happy, and he who lives ill the reverse of happy?
55201* 366* Then why not sin and pay for indulgences out of your sin?
55201* 373D* And living in this way we shall have much greater need of physicians than before?
55201* 374B* But is not war an art?
55201* 377A* And the young should be trained in both kinds, and we begin with the false?
55201* 380D* And what do you think of a second principle?
55201* 381A* And will not the bravest and wisest soul be least confused or deranged by any external influence?
55201* 381B* Then everything which is good, whether made by art or nature, or both, is least liable to suffer change from without?
55201* 387D* And shall we proceed to get rid of the weepings and wailings of famous men?
55201* 397D* And shall we receive into our State all the three styles, or one only of the two unmixed styles?
55201* 398E* And which are the harmonies expressive of sorrow?
55201* 404A* And will the habit of body of our ordinary athletes be suited to them?
55201* 404D* Then you would not approve of Syracusan dinners, and the refinements of Sicilian cookery?
55201* 407A* Has he not, I said, an occupation; and what profit would there be in his life if he were deprived of his occupation?
55201* 411A* And the harmonious soul is both temperate and courageous?
55201* 413B* And is not this involuntary deprivation caused either by theft, or force, or enchantment?
55201* 420B* You mean to ask, I said, what will be our answer?
55201* 424D* Then, I said, our guardians must lay the foundations of their fortress in music?
55201* 426D* But do you not admire, I said, the coolness and dexterity of these ready ministers of political corruption?
55201* 427B* What, then, he said, is still remaining to us of the work of legislation?
55201* 428E* And will there be in our city more of these true guardians or more smiths?
55201* 435B* The just man then, if we regard the idea of justice only, will be like the just State?
55201* 439D* And the forbidding principle is derived from reason, and that which bids and attracts proceeds from passion and disease?
55201* 440E* What point?
55201* 441* Is passion then the same with reason?
55201* 443B* And the reason is that each part of him is doing its own business, whether in ruling or being ruled?
55201* 444D* And just actions cause justice, and unjust actions cause injustice?
55201* 445* Again the old question returns upon us: Is justice or injustice the more profitable?
55201* 449C* I repeated[1], Why am I especially not to be let off?
55201* 450* Thrasymachus said,''Do you think that we have come hither to dig for gold, or to hear you discourse?''
55201* 455* Admitting that women differ from men in capacity, do not men equally differ from one another?
55201* 456A* One woman has a gift of healing, another not; one is a musician, and another has no music in her nature?
55201* 457A* And this is what the arts of music and gymnastic, when present in such manner as we have described, will accomplish?
55201* 459B* And do you take the oldest or the youngest, or only those of ripe age?
55201* 459C* Certainly, the same principle holds; but why does this involve any particular skill?
55201* 460E* And what is the prime of life?
55201* 463A* Our State like every other has rulers and subjects?
55201* 467E* What do you mean?
55201* 472E* Well, and were we not creating an ideal of a perfect State?
55201* 473A* I want to know whether ideals are ever fully realized in language?
55201* 473B* I am sure that I should be contented-- will not you?
55201* 476A* And inasmuch as they are two, each of them is one?
55201* 477E* And is opinion also a faculty?
55201* 478D* And also to be within and between them?
55201* 486B* Or can such an one account death fearful?
55201* 486D* Then a soul which forgets can not be ranked among genuine philosophic natures; we must insist that the philosopher should have a good memory?
55201* 490* Need I recall the original image of the philosopher?
55201* 491E* And may we not say, Adeimantus, that the most gifted minds, when they are ill- educated, become pre- eminently bad?
55201* 495* Are we not right in saying that the love of knowledge, no less than riches, may divert him?
55201* 496* What will be the issue of such marriages?
55201* 500* Will you say that the world is of another mind?
55201* 501D* Why, where can they still find any ground for objection?
55201* 503C* What do you mean?
55201* 506B* And if we only have a guardian who has this knowledge our State will be perfectly ordered?
55201* 507B* What?
55201* 507C* And what is the organ with which we see the visible things?
55201* 508B* Neither sight nor the eye in which sight resides is the sun?
55201* 508D* But when they are directed towards objects on which the sun shines, they see clearly and there is sight in them?
55201* 509B* In what point of view?
55201* 519* Did you never observe how the mind of a clever rogue peers out of his eyes, and the more clearly he sees, the more evil he does?
55201* 522A* Then that is not the knowledge which we are seeking to discover?
55201* 522E* Can we deny that a warrior should have a knowledge of arithmetic?
55201* 525B* And they appear to lead the mind towards truth?
55201* 527D* And suppose we make astronomy the third-- what do you say?
55201* 528* Now, will you appeal to mankind in general or to the philosopher?
55201* 537B* At what age?
55201* 539E* Would you say six or four years?
55201* 540A* And how long is this stage of their lives to last?
55201* 540D* Well, I said, and you would agree( would you not?)
55201* 547B* And what do the Muses say next?
55201* 550C* Then we have now, I said, the second form of government and the second type of character?
55201* 551D* This, then, will be the first great defect of oligarchy?
55201* 553E* And the avaricious, I said, is the oligarchical youth?
55201* 557C* Then in this kind of State there will be the greatest variety of human natures?
55201* 559A* We are not wrong therefore in calling them necessary?
55201* 563C* Why not, as Aeschylus says, utter the word which rises to our lips?
55201* 568E* And when these fail?
55201* 571* Last of all comes the tyrannical man, about whom we have to enquire, Whence is he, and how does he live-- in happiness or in misery?
55201* 571A* Last of all comes the tyrannical man; about whom we have once more to ask, how is he formed out of the democratical?
55201* 576B* Also they are utterly unjust, if we were right in our notion of justice?
55201* 577D* Then if the man is like the State, I said, must not the same rule prevail?
55201* 578B* Reflecting upon these and similar evils, you held the tyrannical State to be the most miserable of States?
55201* 582* Now, how shall we decide between them?
55201* 582D* His experience, then, will enable him to judge better than any one?
55201* 583E* Again, when pleasure ceases, that sort of rest or cessation will be painful?
55201* 584A* But that which is neither was just now shown to be rest and not motion, and in a mean between them?
55201* 584D* Shall I give you an illustration of them?
55201* 584E* But if he were taken back again he would imagine, and truly imagine, that he was descending?
55201* 588C* Of what sort?
55201* 590* Would he not be worse than Eriphyle, who sold her husband''s life for a necklace?
55201* 596A* Why not?
55201* 596C* Who is he?
55201* 597A* And what of the maker of the bed?
55201* 601C* Am I not right?
55201* 601D* That there are three arts which are concerned with all things: one which uses, another which makes, a third which imitates them?
55201* 602C* And now tell me, I conjure you, has not imitation been shown by us to be concerned with that which is thrice removed from the truth?
55201* 602E* And this, surely, must be the work of the calculating and rational principle in the soul?
55201* 603A* Then that part of the soul which has an opinion contrary to measure is not the same with that which has an opinion in accordance with measure?
55201* 604A* Tell me: will he be more likely to struggle and hold out against his sorrow when he is seen by his equals, or when he is alone?
55201* 604E* And does not the latter-- I mean the rebellious principle-- furnish a great variety of materials for imitation?
55201* 608E* Would you agree with me in thinking that the corrupting and destroying element is the evil, and the saving and improving element the good?
55201--How would you answer him?
55201--I would like to know whether he may be thought to imitate that which originally exists in nature, or only the creations of artists?
55201--What defence will you make for us, my good Sir, against any one who offers these objections?
55201...* 332* He proceeds: What did Simonides mean by this saying of his?
55201300, 301]; the ideal ruler,_ ib._ 502:--Rulers of states; do they study their own interests?
55201364 D;--the just or the unjust, which is the more advantageous?
55201435 D.] To what do you refer?
55201464, 465;--is it possible?
552016),''Whether the virtues are one or many?''
55201601, 603, 605;--''the poets who were children and prophets of the gods''(?
55201835 C), especially when they have been licensed by custom and religion?
55201A right noble thought[9]; but do you suppose that we{ 205} shall refrain from asking you what is this highest knowledge?
55201A second and greater wave is rolling in-- community of wives and children; is this either expedient or possible?
55201A state which is intermediate, and a sort of repose of the soul about either-- that is what you mean?
55201Adeimantus added: Has no one told you of the torch- race on horseback in honour of the goddess which will take place in the evening?
55201After this manner the democrat was generated out of the oligarch?
55201Again, as to the devastation of Hellenic territory or the burning of houses, what is to be the practice?
55201Again, has he greater experience of the pleasures of honour, or the lover of honour of the pleasures of wisdom?
55201Again, is not the passionate element wholly set on ruling and conquering and getting fame?
55201Again, pleasure and pain are motions, and the absence of them is rest;* 584* but if so, how can the absence of either of them be the other?
55201All of whom will call one another citizens?
55201All that would arise out of his ignorance of the true upper and middle and lower regions?
55201Am I not right?
55201Am I not right?
55201Am I not right?
55201Am I not right?
55201And O my friend, I said, surely the gods are just?
55201And a narrative it remains both in the speeches which the poet recites from time to time and in the intermediate passages?
55201And again, if he is forgetful and retains nothing of what he learns, will he not be an empty vessel?
55201And agreeably to this mode of thinking and speaking, were we not saying that they will have their pleasures and pains in common?
55201And all arithmetic and calculation have to do with number?
55201And also of the mental ones; his soul is to be full of spirit?
55201And an art requiring as much attention as shoemaking?
55201And another consideration has just occurred to me: You will remember that our young men are to be warrior athletes?
55201And any difference which arises among them will be* 471A* regarded by them as discord only-- a quarrel among friends, which is not to be called a war?
55201And anything which is infected by any of these evils is made evil, and at last wholly dissolves and dies?
55201And are enemies also to receive what we owe to them?
55201And are not their praises of tyranny alone a sufficient reason why we should exclude them from our State?
55201And are suits decided on any other ground but that a man may neither take what is another''s, nor be deprived of what is his own?
55201And are you going to run away before you have fairly taught or learned whether they are true or not?
55201And are you stronger than all these?
55201And as State is to State in virtue and happiness, so is man in relation to man?
55201And as we are to have the best of guardians for our city, must they not be those who have most the character of guardians?
55201And both pleasure and pain are motions of the soul, are they not?
55201And both should be in harmony?
55201And by contracts you mean partnerships?
55201And can any one of those many things which are called by particular names be said to be this rather than not to be this?
55201And can that which does no evil be a cause of evil?
55201And can the just by justice make men unjust, or speaking* 335D* generally, can the good by virtue make them bad?
55201And can there be anything better for the interests of the State than that the men and women of a State should be as good as possible?
55201And can therefore neither be ignorance nor knowledge?
55201And can you mention any pursuit of mankind in which the male sex has not all these gifts and qualities in a higher degree than the female?
55201And democracy has her own good, of which the insatiable desire brings her to dissolution?
55201And do I differ from you, he said, as to the importance of the enquiry?
55201And do not good practices lead to virtue, and evil practices to vice?
55201And do not the two styles, or the mixture of the two, comprehend all poetry, and every form of expression in words?
55201And do the unjust appear to you to be wise and good?
55201And do they not educate to perfection young and old, men and women alike, and fashion them after their own hearts?
55201And do we know what we opine?
55201And do you also agree, I said, in describing the dialectician as one who attains a conception of the essence of each thing?
55201And do you breed from them all indifferently, or do you take care to breed from the best only?
55201And do you consider truth to be akin to proportion or to disproportion?
55201And do you not know, I said, that all mere opinions are bad, and the best of them blind?
55201And do you suppose that I ask these questions with any design of injuring you in the argument?
55201And do you wish to behold what is blind and crooked and* 506D* base, when others will tell you of brightness and beauty?
55201And does not the analogy apply still more to the State?
55201And does not the same hold also of the ridiculous?
55201And does not the same principle hold in the sciences?
55201And does not tyranny spring from democracy in the* 562B* same manner as democracy from oligarchy-- I mean, after a sort?
55201And does the essence of the invariable partake of knowledge in the same degree as of essence?
55201And dogs are deteriorated in the good qualities of dogs, and not of horses?
55201And each art gives us a particular good and not merely a general one-- medicine, for example, gives us health; navigation, safety at sea, and so on?
55201And each of them is such as his like is?
55201And even to this are there not exceptions?
55201And everything else on the style?
55201And food and wisdom are the corresponding satisfactions of either?
55201And from being a keeper of the law he is converted into a breaker of it?
55201And good counsel is clearly a kind of knowledge, for not by ignorance, but by knowledge, do men counsel well?
55201And has not the body itself less of truth and essence than the soul?
55201And has not the eye an excellence?
55201And has not the soul an excellence also?
55201And have we not already condemned that State* 552* in which the same persons are warriors as well as shopkeepers?
55201And he is good in as far as he is wise, and bad in as far as he is foolish?
55201And he is the best guard of a camp who is best able to* 334A* steal a march upon the enemy?
55201And he is to be deemed courageous whose spirit retains in* 442C* pleasure and in pain the commands of reason about what he ought or ought not to fear?
55201And he who is most skilful in preventing or escaping[2] from a disease is best able to create one?
55201And he who is not on a voyage has no need of a pilot?
55201And here, Glaucon, I should like to ask( as I know that you are a breeder of birds and animals), Do you not take the greatest care in the mating?
55201And his friends and fellow- citizens will want to use him as he gets older for their own purposes?
55201And how am I to convince you, he said, if you are not already convinced by what I have just said; what more can I do for you?
55201And how am I to do so?
55201And how are they to be learned without education?
55201And how can one who is thus circumstanced ever become a philosopher?
55201And how can we rightly answer that question?
55201And how does such an one live?
55201And how does the son come into being?
55201And how is the error to be corrected?
55201And how will they proceed?
55201And how would he regard the attempt to gain an advantage over the unjust; would that be considered by him as just or unjust?
55201And if care was not taken in the breeding, your dogs and birds would greatly deteriorate?
55201And if merchandise is to be carried over the sea, skilful* 371B* sailors will also be needed, and in considerable numbers?
55201And if our youth are to do their work in life, must they not make these graces and harmonies their perpetual aim?
55201And if that is true, what sort of general must he have been?
55201And if the old man and woman fight for their own, what then, my friend?
55201And if the world perceives that what we are saying about* 500E* him is the truth, will they be angry with philosophy?
55201And if there be any State in which rulers and subjects* 431E* will be agreed as to the question who are to rule, that again will be our State?
55201And if they are both known to them, one must be the friend and the other the enemy of the gods, as we admitted from the beginning?
55201And if they are to be what we were describing, is there* 485C* not another quality which they should also possess?
55201And if they turn out to be two, is not each of them one and different?
55201And if they were able to converse with one another, would they not suppose that they were naming what was actually before them[1]?
55201And ignorance and folly are inanitions of the soul?
55201And in like manner does the touch adequately perceive the qualities of thickness or thinness, of softness or hardness?
55201And in oligarchical States, from the general spread of carelessness and extravagance, men of good family have often been reduced to beggary?
55201And in our State what other name besides that of citizens do the people give the rulers?
55201And in our opinion the guardians ought to have both these qualities?
55201And in such a case what is one to say?
55201And in that case they will be right in doing good to the evil and* 334D* evil to the good?
55201And in that interval there has now been discovered something which we call opinion?
55201And in the first place, he will honour studies which impress these qualities on his soul and will disregard others?
55201And in the laying of bricks and stones is the just man a more useful or better partner than the builder?
55201And in what sort of actions or with a view to what result is the just man most able to do harm to his enemy and good to his friend?
55201And is he likely to be brave who has no spirit, whether horse or dog or any other animal?
55201And is justice dimmer in the individual, and is her form different, or is she the same which we found her to be in the State?
55201And is not a State larger than an individual?
55201And is not a similar method to be pursued about the virtues, which are also four in number?
55201And is not life to be reckoned among the ends of the soul?
55201And is not that farthest from reason which is at the greatest distance from law and order?
55201And is not the end of the soul happiness, and justice the excellence of the soul by which happiness is attained?
55201And is not the love of learning the love of wisdom, which is philosophy?
55201And is not the reason of this that the several principles, whether in the state or in the individual, do their own business?
55201And is not the unjust like the wise and good and the just unlike them?
55201And is not this the reason why of old love has been called a tyrant?
55201And is our theory a worse theory because we are unable to{ 170} prove the possibility of a city being ordered in the manner described?
55201And is the art of war one of those arts in which she can or can not share?
55201And is the city which is under a tyrant rich or poor?
55201And is the satisfaction derived from that which has less or from that which has more existence the truer?
55201And is there any greater or keener pleasure than that of sensual love?
55201And is there any man in whom you will find more of this sort of misery than in the tyrannical man, who is in a fury of passions and desires?
55201And is there anything more akin to wisdom than truth?
55201And is this confined to the sight only, or does it extend to the hearing also, relating in fact to what we term poetry?
55201And it has this particular quality because it has an object of a particular kind; and this is true of the other arts and sciences?
55201And literature may be either true or false?
55201And luxury and softness are blamed, because they relax and weaken this same creature, and make a coward of him?
55201And may not the many which are doubles be also halves?--doubles, that is, of one thing, and halves of another?
55201And may we not rightly call such men treacherous?
55201And may we not say of the philosopher that he is a lover, not of a part of wisdom only, but of the whole?
55201And may we not say that the mind of the one who knows has knowledge, and that the mind of the other, who opines only, has opinion?
55201And may we not say the same of all things?
55201And might a man be thirsty, and yet unwilling to drink?
55201And must not an animal be a lover of learning who determines what he likes and dislikes by the test of knowledge and ignorance?
55201And must not such a State and such a man be always full of fear?
55201And must not the like happen with the spirited or passionate element of the soul?
55201And must not the soul be perplexed at this intimation which the sense gives of a hard which is also soft?
55201And must not the tyrannical man be like the tyrannical State, and the democratical man like the democratical State; and the same of the others?
55201And must not we swim and try to reach the shore: we will hope that Arion''s dolphin or some other miraculous help may save us?
55201And next, how does he live?
55201And next, shall we enquire whether the kindred science also concerns us?
55201And no good thing is hurtful?
55201And not- being is not one thing but, properly speaking,* 478C* nothing?
55201And now what is their manner of life, and what sort of* 557B* a government have they?
55201And now what remains of the work of legislation?
55201And now why do you not praise me?
55201And now, Adeimantus, is our State matured and perfected?
55201And of individuals who consort with the mob and seek to please them?
55201And of the objects which are being carried in like manner they would only see the shadows?
55201And of the pleasures of love, and all other pleasures, the same holds good?
55201And of the unjust may not the opposite be supposed?
55201And of truth in the same degree?
55201And once more, the inharmonious and unseemly nature can only tend to disproportion?
55201And one woman has a turn for gymnastic and military exercises, and another is unwarlike and hates gymnastics?
55201And one woman is a philosopher, and another is an enemy of philosophy; one has spirit, and another is without spirit?
55201And opinion is to have an opinion?
55201And ought not the same natures to have the same pursuits?
55201And our guardian is both warrior and philosopher?
55201And reasoning is peculiarly his instrument?
55201And shall I add,''whether seen or unseen by gods and men''?
55201And should an immortal being seriously think of this little* 608D* space rather than of the whole?
55201And should we not enquire what sort of knowledge has the* 521D* power of effecting such a change?
55201And so let us have a final trial and proclamation; need we hire a herald, or shall I proclaim the result?
55201And so of all other things;--justice is useful when they are useless, and useless when they are useful?
55201And so of the other senses; do they give perfect intimations of such matters?
55201And so they will be drawn by a necessity of their natures to have intercourse with each other-- necessity is not too strong a word, I think?
55201And so tyranny naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme form of liberty?
55201And still there arises another question: Are friends to be interpreted as real or seeming; enemies as real or seeming?
55201And such a pilot and ruler will provide and prescribe for the interest of the sailor who is under him, and not for his own or the ruler''s interest?
55201And suppose injustice abiding in a single person, would your wisdom say that she loses or that she retains her natural power?
55201And surely, he said, this occurs notably in the case of one; for we see the same thing to be both one and infinite in multitude?
55201And that human virtue is justice?
55201And that others should approve, of what we approve, is no miracle or impossibility?
55201And that to which an end is appointed has also an excellence?
55201And that which hurts not does no evil?
55201And that which is not hurtful hurts not?
55201And that which is opposed to them is one of the inferior principles of the soul?
55201And the anticipations of future pleasures and pains are of a like nature?
55201And the better part of the soul is likely to be that which trusts to measure and calculation?
55201And the citizens being thus agreed among themselves, in which class will temperance be found-- in the rulers or in the subjects?
55201And the country which was enough to support the original inhabitants will be too small now, and not enough?
55201And the ear has an end and an excellence also?
55201And the end or use of a horse or of anything would be that which could not be accomplished, or not so well accomplished, by any other thing?
55201And the fairest is also the loveliest?
55201And the friend he regards and describes as one in whom* 463C* he has an interest, and the other as a stranger in whom he has no interest?
55201And the good is advantageous?
55201And the government is the ruling power in each state?
55201And the greater the interval which separates them from philosophy and reason, the more strange and illusive will be the pleasure?
55201And the greatest degree of evil- doing to one''s own city would be termed by you injustice?
55201And the higher the duties of the guardian, I said, the more* 374E* time, and skill, and art, and application will be needed by him?
55201And the individual will be acknowledged by us to be just in the same way in which the State is just?
55201And the inharmonious is cowardly and boorish?
55201And the insatiable desire of wealth and the neglect of all other things for the sake of money- getting was also the ruin of oligarchy?
55201And the interest of any art is the perfection of it-- this and nothing else?
55201And the just is the good?
55201And the kinds of knowledge in a State are many and diverse?
55201And the knowing is wise?
55201And the laws which they make must be obeyed by their subjects,--and that is what you call justice?
55201And the lover of honour-- what will be his opinion?
55201And the lustful and tyrannical desires are, as we saw, at the* 587B* greatest distance?
55201And the man who has the spirit of harmony will be most in love with the loveliest; but he will not love him who is of an inharmonious soul?
55201And the melody and rhythm will depend upon the words?
55201And the more detestable his actions are to the citizens the more satellites and the greater devotion in them will he require?
55201And the more hated he is, the more he will require trusty guards; but how will he obtain them?
55201And the much greater to the much less?
55201And the new government which thus arises will be of a form intermediate between oligarchy and aristocracy?
55201And the oligarch is third from the royal; since we count* 587D* as one royal and aristocratical?
55201And the painter too is, as I conceive, just such another-- a creator of appearances, is he not?
55201And the persons whose property is taken from them are compelled to defend themselves before the people as they best can?
55201And the pilot likewise, in the strict sense of the term, is a ruler of sailors and not a mere sailor?
55201And the pilot-- that is to say, the true pilot-- is he a captain of sailors or a mere sailor?
55201And the possibility has been acknowledged?
55201And the power which the eye possesses is a sort of effluence which is dispensed from the sun?
55201And the reason of this, over and above the general constitution of the State, will be that the guardians will have a community of women and children?
55201And the reason why the good are useless has now been explained?
55201And the result will be that he becomes a worse potter?
55201And the royal and orderly desires are nearest?
55201And the same is true of all other things; they have each of them an end and a special excellence?
55201And the same of horses and animals in general?
55201And the sometime greater to the sometime less, and the greater that is to be to the less that is to be?
55201And the tragic poet is an imitator, and therefore, like all other imitators, he is thrice removed from the king and from the truth?
55201And the unjust is good and wise, and the just is neither?
55201And the unjust man will strive and struggle to obtain more than the unjust man or action, in order that he may have more than all?
55201And the virtue which enters into this competition is* 433E* justice?
55201And the wise is good?
55201And the work of the painter is a third?
55201And then, although they may have no desire of change, the others charge them with plotting against the people and being friends of oligarchy?
55201And there are three kinds of pleasure, which are their several objects?
55201And there is a neutral state which is neither pleasure nor pain?
55201And therefore he will not sorrow for his departed friend as though he had suffered anything terrible?
55201And therefore philosophers must inevitably fall under the censure of the world?
55201And therefore the cause of well- being?
55201And therefore they are likely to do harm to our young men-- you would agree with me there?
55201And therefore to acknowledge that bad and good are the same?
55201And they will place them under the command of experienced veterans who will be their leaders and teachers?
55201And they will take them on the safe expeditions and be cautious about the dangerous ones?
55201And things great and small, heavy and light, as they are termed, will not be denoted by these any more than by the opposite names?
55201And this assimilation of himself to another, either by the use of voice or gesture, is the imitation of the person whose character he assumes?
55201And this is because injustice creates divisions and hatreds and fighting, and justice imparts harmony and friendship; is not that true, Thrasymachus?
55201And this is equally true of imitation; no one man can imitate many things as well as he would imitate a single one?
55201And those who govern ought not to be lovers of the task?
55201And to this end they ought to be wise and efficient, and to have a special care of the State?
55201And to which class do unity and number belong?
55201And was I not right, Adeimantus?
55201And was I not right?
55201And we have admitted that justice is the excellence of the soul, and injustice the defect of the soul?
55201And we have admitted, I said, that the good of each art is specially confined to the art?
55201And what about* 598A* the painter?
55201And what are these?
55201And what do the rulers call one another in other States?
55201And what do the rulers call the people?
55201And what do they call them in other States?
55201And what do they receive of men?
55201And what do you say to his receiving the right hand of fellowship?
55201And what does the judge affirm to be the life which is next, and the pleasure which is next?
55201And what due or proper thing is given by cookery, and to what?
55201And what happens?
55201And what in ours?
55201And what is that which justice gives, and to whom?
55201And what is the faculty in man to which imitation is addressed?
55201And what is the name which the city derives from the possession of this sort of knowledge?
55201And what is the next question?
55201And what is this knowledge, and among whom is it found?
55201And what is your view about them?
55201And what manner of government do you term oligarchy?
55201And what manner of man answers to such a State?
55201And what may that be?
55201And what of passion, or spirit?
55201And what of the ignorant?
55201And what of the unjust-- does he claim to have more than the just man and to do more than is just?
55201And what shall be their education?
55201And what shall we say about men?
55201And what shall we say of men?
55201And what shall we say of the carpenter-- is not he also the maker of the bed?
55201And what similar use or power of acquisition has justice in time of peace?
55201And what then would you say?
55201And what training will draw the soul upwards?
55201And when all the world is telling a man that he is six feet high, and he has no measure, how can he believe anything else?
55201And when persons are suffering from acute pain, you must have heard them say that there is nothing pleasanter than to get rid of their pain?
55201And when they meet in private will not people be* 556E* saying to one another''Our warriors are not good for much''?
55201And when truth is the captain, we can not suspect any evil of the band which he leads?
55201And when you see the same evils in the tyrannical man, what do you say of him?
55201And when you speak of music, do you include literature or not?
55201And when you want to buy a ship, the shipwright or the pilot would be better?
55201And where do you find them?
55201And where freedom is, the individual is clearly able to order for himself his own life as he pleases?
55201And which are the soft or drinking harmonies?
55201And which are these two sorts?
55201And which is wise and which is foolish?
55201And which method do I understand you to prefer?
55201And which of the three has the truest knowledge and the widest experience?
55201And which sort of life, Glaucon, do you prefer?
55201And which, I said, of the gods in heaven would you say was the lord of this element?
55201And whichever of these qualities we find in the State, the one which is not found will be the residue?
55201And who are the devoted band, and where will he procure them?
55201And who is best able to do good to his friends and evil to his enemies in time of sickness?
55201And will he sell his own fairer and diviner part without any compunction to the most godless and foul?
55201And will he then change himself for the better and fairer, or for the worse and more unsightly?
55201And will not a true astronomer have the same feeling when he looks at the movements of the stars?
55201And will not he who has been shown to be the wickedest,* 576C* be also the most miserable?
55201And will not the city, which you are founding, be an Hellenic city?
55201And will not the same condition be best for our citizens?
55201And will not the words and the character of the style depend on the temper of the soul?
55201And will not their wives be the best women?
55201And will the blindness and crookedness of opinion content you when you might have the light and certainty of science?
55201And will the love of a lie be any part of a philosopher''s nature?
55201And will they be a class which is rarely found?
55201And will they not be lovers of Hellas, and think of Hellas as their own land, and share in the common temples?
55201And will you be so very good as to answer one more question?
55201And will you have a work better done when the workman has many occupations, or when he has only one?
55201And with the hearing, I said, we hear, and with the other senses perceive the other objects of sense?
55201And would not a really good education furnish the best safeguard?
55201And would you call justice vice?
55201And would you have the future rulers of your ideal State intelligent beings, or stupid as posts?
55201And would you say that the soul of such an one is the soul of a freeman, or of a slave?
55201And yet not so well as with a pruning- hook made for the purpose?
55201And yet there is a sense in which the painter also creates a bed?
55201And yet you were acknowledging a little while ago that knowledge is not the same as opinion?
55201And yet, as you see, there are freemen as well as masters in such a State?
55201And you are aware too that the latter can not explain what they mean by knowledge, but are obliged after all to say knowledge of the good?
55201And you know that a man who is deranged and not right in his mind, will fancy that he is able to rule, not only over men, but also over the gods?
55201And you may further imagine that his instructor is pointing to the objects as they pass and requiring him to name them,--will he not be perplexed?
55201And you placed astronomy next, and then you made a step backward?
55201And you would say the same sort of thing of the physician?
55201And, conversely, that which has less of truth will also have less of essence?
55201Another question is, Which of existing states is suited to her?
55201Any affinity to wantonness and intemperance?
55201Any more than heat can produce cold?
55201Any more than they can be rhapsodists and actors at once?
55201Are not the chief elements of temperance, speaking* 389E* generally, obedience to commanders and self- control in sensual pleasures?
55201Are not the public who say these things* 492B* the greatest of all Sophists?
55201Are not the tragic poets wise who magnify and exalt the tyrant, and say that he is wise by association with the wise?
55201Are not these functions proper to the soul, and can they rightly be assigned to any other?
55201Are the lovers of sights and sounds, who let out their ears to every chorus at the Dionysiac festivals, to be called philosophers?''
55201Are they two or one, and is either of them the cause of the other?
55201Are you not aware, I said, that the soul of man is immortal and imperishable?
55201Are you satisfied then that the quality which makes such men and such states is justice, or do you hope to discover some other?
55201As being the same with knowledge, or another faculty?
55201As they are or as they appear?
55201At any rate you can tell that a song or ode has three* 398D* parts-- the words, the melody, and the rhythm; that degree of knowledge I may presuppose?
55201Because I want to know in which of the three classes you would place justice?
55201Because it has a particular quality which no other has?
55201Beds, then, are of three kinds, and there are three artists who superintend them: God, the maker of the bed, and the painter?
55201Beginning with the State, I replied, would you say that a city which is governed by a tyrant is free or enslaved?
55201Being is the sphere or subject- matter of knowledge, and knowledge is to know the nature of being?
55201But again, will they tell us that such a nature, placed under favourable circumstances, will not be perfectly good and wise if any ever was?
55201But although the gods are themselves unchangeable, still by witchcraft and deception they may make us think that they appear in various forms?
55201But are not these spirited natures apt to be savage with one another, and with everybody else?
55201But are they really three or one?
55201But can any of these reasons apply to God?
55201But can that which is neither become both?
55201But can the musician by his art make men unmusical?
55201But can you persuade us, if we refuse to listen to you?
55201But can you tell me of any other suitable study?
55201But can you use different animals for the same purpose, unless they are bred and fed in the same way?
55201But did we not say, Thrasymachus, that the unjust goes beyond both his like and unlike?
55201But do you imagine that men who are unable to give and take a reason will have the knowledge which we require of them?
55201But do you know whom I think good?
55201But do you mean to say that this is not the opinion of the multitude?
55201But do you not admire their cleverness?
55201But do you not see that there is a sense in which you could do the same?
55201But do you observe the reason of this?
55201But do you see, he rejoined, how many we are?
55201But does the painter know the right form of the bit and reins?
55201But have we not here fallen into a contradiction?
55201But he may have friends who are senseless or mad?
55201But he would claim to exceed the non- musician?
55201But he would wish to go beyond the non- physician?
55201But how did timocracy arise out of the perfect State?
55201But how is the image applicable to the disciples of philosophy?
55201But how* 461D* will they know who are fathers and daughters, and so on?
55201But if so, the tyrant will live most unpleasantly, and the king most pleasantly?
55201But if the process by which we are supposed to arrive at the idea of good be really imaginary, may not the idea itself be also a mere abstraction?
55201But if they abstained from injuring one another, then they might act together better?
55201But in what way good or harm?
55201But is a man in harmony with himself when he is the subject of these conflicting influences?
55201But is not this unjust?
55201But is opinion to be sought without and beyond either of them, in a greater clearness than knowledge, or in a greater darkness than ignorance?
55201But is passion a third principle, or akin to desire?
55201But is such a community possible?--as among the animals, so{ lxxv} also among men; and if possible, in what way possible?
55201But is there no difference between men and women?
55201But is there not another name which people give to their rulers in other States?
55201But is this equally true of the greatness and smallness of the fingers?
55201But let me ask you another question: Has excess of pleasure any affinity to temperance?
55201But may he not change and transform himself?
55201But may not the stimulus which love has given to fancy be some day exhausted?
55201But next, what shall we say of their food; for the men are in training for the great contest of all-- are they not?
55201But ought the just to injure any one at all?
55201But ought we to attempt to construct one?
55201But ought we to render evil for evil at all, when to do so will only make men more evil?
55201But shall we be right in getting rid of them?
55201But should not life rest on the moral rather than upon the physical?
55201But suppose that he were to retort,''Thrasymachus, what do you mean?
55201But surely God and the things of God are in every way perfect?
55201But surely, Thrasymachus, the arts are the superiors and rulers of their own subjects?
55201But the condiments are only necessary in so far as they are good for health?
55201But the good are just and would not do an injustice?
55201But the philosopher will still be justified in asking,''How may the heavenly gift of poesy be devoted to the good of mankind?''
55201But those who see the absolute and eternal and immutable may be said to know, and not to have opinion only?
55201But we should like to ask him a question: Does he who has knowledge know something or nothing?
55201But what branch of knowledge is there, my dear Glaucon, which is of the desired nature; since all the useful arts were reckoned mean by us?
55201But what can show a more disgraceful state of education than to have to go abroad for justice because you have none of your own at home?
55201But what do you mean by the highest of all knowledge?
55201But what do you say of music, which also entered to a certain extent into our former scheme?
55201But what do you say to flute- makers and flute- players?
55201But what if there are no gods?
55201But what is the next step?
55201But what of the world below?
55201But what ought to be their course?
55201But what shall be done to the hero?
55201But what shall their education be?
55201But what will be the process of delineation?''
55201But what would you have, Glaucon?
55201But when a man is well, my dear Polemarchus, there is no need of a physician?
55201But when is this fault committed?
55201But whence came division?
55201But where are the two?
55201But where, amid all this, is justice?
55201But which is the happier?
55201But which stories do you mean, he said; and what fault do you find with them?
55201But who are friends and enemies?]
55201But who can doubt that philosophers should be chosen, if they have the other qualities which are required in a ruler?
55201But why do you ask?
55201But why do you ask?
55201But why* 533E* should we dispute about names when we have realities of such importance to consider?
55201But why?
55201But will he not desire to get them on the spot?
55201But will the imitator have either?
55201But will you let me assume, without reciting them, that these things are true?
55201But would any of your guardians think or speak of any other guardian as a stranger?
55201But would you call the painter a creator and maker?
55201But you see that without the addition of some other nature there is no seeing or being seen?
55201But* 501A* how will they draw out the plan of which you are speaking?
55201But, if Homer never did any public service, was he privately a guide or teacher of any?
55201By heaven, would not such an one be a rare educator?
55201Can I say what I do not know?
55201Can a man help imitating that with which he holds reverential converse?
55201Can any man be courageous who has the fear of death in him?
55201Can any other origin of a State be imagined?
55201Can any reality come up to the idea?
55201Can he have an opinion which is an opinion about nothing?
55201Can justice produce injustice any more than the art of horsemanship{ xix} can make bad horsemen, or heat produce cold?
55201Can sight adequately perceive them?
55201Can the god of Jealousy himself* 487* find any fault with such an assemblage of good qualities?
55201Can the same nature be a lover of wisdom and a lover of* 485D* falsehood?
55201Can there be any greater evil than discord and distraction* 462B* and plurality where unity ought to reign?
55201Can they have a better place than between being and not- being?
55201Can we any longer doubt, then, that the miser and money- maker* 555B* answers to the oligarchical State?
55201Can we suppose that he is ignorant of antiquity, and therefore has recourse to invention?
55201Can you tell me what imitation is?
55201Can you tell me whence I derive this inference?
55201Capital, I said; but let me ask you once more: Shall they* 463D* be a family in name only; or shall they in all their actions be true to the name?
55201Deteriorated, that is to say, in the good qualities of horses, not of dogs?
55201Did he mean that I was to give back arms to a madman?
55201Did this never strike you as curious?
55201Did you ever hear any of them which were not?
55201Did you never hear it?
55201Did you never observe in the arts how the potters''boys look on and help, long before they touch the wheel?
55201Do I take you with me?
55201Do they by attaching to the soul and inhering in her at last bring her to death, and so separate her from the body?
55201Do we admit the existence of opinion?
55201Do you agree?
55201Do you know of any other?
55201Do you know where you will have to look if you want to discover his rogueries?
55201Do you know, I said, that governments vary as the dispositions of men vary, and that there must be as many of the one as there are of the other?
55201Do you mean that there is no such maker or creator, or that in one sense there might be a maker of all these things but in another not?
55201Do you mean, for example, that he who is mistaken about the sick is a physician in that he is mistaken?
55201Do you not know that all this is but the prelude to the actual strain which we have to learn?
55201Do you not know that the soul is immortal?
55201Do you not know, I said, that the true lie, if such an expression may be allowed, is hated of gods and men?
55201Do you not see them doing the same?
55201Do you observe that we were not far wrong in our guess that temperance was a sort of harmony?
55201Do you remember?
55201Do you see that there is a way in which you could make them all yourself?
55201Do you suppose that I call him who is mistaken the stronger at the time when he is mistaken?
55201Do you think it right that Hellenes should enslave Hellenic States, or allow others to enslave them, if they can help?
55201Do you think that the possession of all other things is of any value if we do not possess the good?
55201Do you think that there is anything so very unnatural or inexcusable in their case?
55201Does he not call the other pleasures necessary, under the idea that if there were no necessity for them, he would rather not have them?
55201Does not like always attract like?
55201Does not the practice of* 469D* despoiling an enemy afford an excuse for not facing the battle?
55201Does not the timocratical man change into the oligarchical on this wise?
55201Does that look well?
55201Does the injustice or other evil which exists in the soul waste and consume her?
55201Does the just man try to gain any advantage over the just?
55201Each of them, I said, is such as his like is?
55201Enough of gods and heroes;--what shall we say about men?
55201Enough, my friend; but what is enough while anything remains wanting?
55201Every act does something to somebody; and following this analogy, Socrates asks, What is this due and proper thing which justice does, and to whom?
55201Except a city?--or would you include a city?
55201First of all, in regard to slavery?
55201First you began with a geometry of plane surfaces?
55201First, then, they resemble one another in the value which they set upon wealth?
55201For all these things are only the prelude, and you surely do not suppose that a mere mathematician is also a dialectician?
55201For concerning political measures, we chiefly ask: How will they affect the happiness of mankind?
55201For example, I said, can the same thing be at rest and in motion at the same time in the same part?
55201For if Agamemnon could not count his feet( and without number how could he?)
55201For what purpose do you conceive that we have come here, said Thrasymachus,--to look for gold, or to hear discourse?
55201For which the art has to consider and provide?
55201For you surely would not* 531E* regard the skilled mathematician as a dialectician?
55201Further, I said, has not a drunken man also the spirit of* 573C* a tyrant?
55201Further, the very faculty which is the instrument of judgment is not possessed by the covetous or ambitious man, but only by the philosopher?
55201Further, there can be no doubt that a work is spoilt when not done at the right time?
55201God forbid, I replied; but may I ask you to consider the image in another point of view?
55201Good, I said; then you call him who is third in the descent from nature an imitator?
55201Government, forms of, are they administered in the interest of the rulers?
55201Has not nature scattered all the qualities which our citizens require indifferently up and down among the two sexes?
55201Has not that been admitted?
55201Has not the intemperate been censured of old, because in{ 304} him the huge multiform monster is allowed to be too much at large?
55201Have I clearly explained the class which I mean?
55201Have we not here a picture of his way of life?
55201Having effected this, they will proceed to trace an outline of the constitution?
55201Having so many evils, will not the most miserable of men be still more miserable in a public station?
55201He asks only''What good have they done?''
55201He can hardly avoid saying Yes-- can he now?
55201He is a soldier, and, like Adeimantus, has been{ xiii} distinguished at the battle of Megara( 368 A, anno 456?)...
55201He knows that this latter institution is not more than four or five thousand years old: may not the end revert to the beginning?
55201He looked at me in astonishment, and said: No, by heaven: And are you really prepared to maintain this?
55201He mentioned that he was present when one of the spirits asked another,''Where is Ardiaeus the Great?''
55201He roared out to the whole company: What folly, Socrates, has taken possession of you all?
55201He said: Who then are the true philosophers?
55201He was present when one of the spirits asked-- Where is Ardiaeus the Great?
55201He will grow more and more indolent and careless?
55201Hence arises the question,''What is great, what is small?''
55201How can that be?
55201How can that be?
55201How can there be?
55201How can they, he said, if they are blind and can not see?
55201How can they, he said, when they are not allowed to apply their minds to the callings of any of these?
55201How can we?
55201How cast off?
55201How do they act?
55201How do you distinguish them?
55201How do you mean?
55201How do you mean?
55201How do you mean?
55201How do you mean?
55201How do you mean?
55201How do you mean?
55201How do you mean?
55201How do you mean?
55201How do you mean?
55201How is he to be wise and also innocent?
55201How many?
55201How so?
55201How so?
55201How so?
55201How so?
55201How so?
55201How so?
55201How so?
55201How so?
55201How so?
55201How then can men and women have the same?
55201How then does a protector begin to change into a tyrant?
55201How was that?
55201How will they proceed?
55201How would they address us?
55201How, then, can we be right in supposing that the absence of pain is pleasure, or that the absence of pleasure is pain?
55201How?
55201How?
55201How?
55201How?
55201How?
55201I assume, I said, that the tyrant is in the third place from the oligarch; the democrat was in the middle?
55201I do not know, do you?
55201I might say the same of the ears; when deprived of their own proper excellence they can not fulfil their end?
55201I presume then that you are going to make one of the interdicted answers?
55201I proceeded to ask: When two things, a greater and less, are called by the same name, are they like or unlike in so far as they are called the same?
55201I replied; and if we asked him what due or proper thing is given by medicine, and to whom, what answer do you think that he would make to us?
55201I said; how shall we find a gentle nature which has also a great spirit, for the one is the contradiction of the other?
55201I said; the prelude or what?
55201I should like to know whether you have the same notion which I have of this study?
55201I suppose that you would call justice virtue and injustice vice?
55201I will be wiser now and acknowledge that we must go to the bottom of another question: What is to be the education of our guardians?
55201I will explain: The body which is large when seen near, appears small when seen at a distance?
55201I will proceed by asking a question: Would you not say that a horse has some end?
55201I will; and first tell me, Do you admit that it is just for subjects to obey their rulers?
55201Ideal state, is it possible?
55201If wealth and gain were the criterion, then the praise or* 582E* blame of the lover of gain would surely be the most trustworthy?
55201Imitation is only a kind of play or sport, and the tragic poets, whether they write in Iambic or in Heroic verse, are imitators in the highest degree?
55201In prescribing meats and drinks would he wish to go beyond another physician or beyond the practice of medicine?
55201In the first place, are they not free; and is not the city full of freedom and frankness-- a man may say and do what he likes?
55201In the next place our youth must be temperate?
55201In these cases a man is not compelled to ask of thought the question what is a finger?
55201In this both Plato and Khèyam rise above the level of many Christian(?)
55201In what manner?
55201In what manner?
55201In what particulars?
55201In what respect do you mean?
55201In what respect?
55201In what respects?
55201In what way make allowance?
55201In what way shown?
55201In what way?
55201Including the art of war?
55201Indeed, Thrasymachus, and do I really appear to you to argue like an informer?
55201Is God above or below the idea of good?
55201Is any better than experience and wisdom and reason?
55201Is any better than the old- fashioned sort which is comprehended under the name of music and gymnastic?
55201Is he not a true image of the State which he represents?
55201Is it a third, or akin to one of the preceding?
55201Is it desirable?''
55201Is it for this that we are asked to throw away the civilization which is the growth of ages?
55201Is it not on this wise?--The good at which such a State aims is to become as rich as possible, a desire which is insatiable?
55201Is not Polemarchus your heir?
55201Is not absolute injustice absolute weakness also?
55201Is not honesty the best policy?
55201Is not that still more disgraceful?
55201Is not that true, Thrasymachus?
55201Is not the Republic the vehicle of three or four great truths which, to Plato''s own mind, are most naturally represented in the form of the State?
55201Is not the double also the half, and are not heavy and light relative terms which pass into one another?
55201Is not the noble that which subjects the beast to the man, or rather to the God in man; the ignoble, that which subjects the man to the beast?
55201Is not the noble youth very like a well- bred dog in respect of guarding and watching?
55201Is not the strength of injustice only a remnant of justice?
55201Is not this the case?
55201Is not this the way-- he is the son of the miserly and oligarchical* 558D* father who has trained him in his own habits?
55201Is not this true?
55201Is not this unavoidable?
55201Is not to have lost the truth an evil, and to possess the truth a good?
55201Is that true?
55201Is the relation between them one of mutual antagonism or of mutual harmony?
55201Is there any State in which you will find more of lamentation and sorrow and groaning and pain?
55201Is there any better criterion than experience and knowledge?
55201Is there any city which he might name?
55201Is there any other virtue remaining which can compete with wisdom and temperance and courage in the scale of political virtue?
55201Is there anything more?
55201Is there not rather a contradiction in him?
55201Is this a pattern laid up in heaven, or mere vacancy on which he is supposed to gaze with wondering eye?
55201Is this ideal at all the worse for being impracticable?
55201It follows therefore that the good is not the cause of all things, but of the good only?
55201It may also be called temperate, and for the same reasons?
55201Italy and Sicily boast of Charondas, and there is Solon who is renowned among us; but what city has anything to say about you?''
55201Labouring in vain, he must end in hating himself and his fruitless occupation?
55201Last comes the lover of gain?
55201Let me ask you a question: Are not the several arts different, by reason of their each having a separate function?
55201Let me explain: Can you see, except with the eye?
55201Let us examine this: Is not pleasure opposed to pain, and is there not a mean state which is neither?
55201Let us take any common instance; there are beds and* 596B* tables in the world-- plenty of them, are there not?
55201Like husbandry for the acquisition of corn?
55201Like ourselves, I replied; and they see only their own shadows, or the shadows of one another, which the fire throws on the opposite wall of the cave?
55201Look at the matter thus:--Hunger, thirst, and the like,* 585B* are inanitions of the bodily state?
55201Male and female animals have the same pursuits-- why not also the two sexes of man?
55201May I ask, Cephalus, whether your fortune was for the most part inherited or acquired by you?
55201May I have the pleasure, he said, of hearing your opinion?
55201May I suppose that you have this distinction of the visible and intelligible fixed in your mind?
55201May it not be defined as a period of about twenty years in a woman''s life, and thirty in a man''s?
55201May not the relation of sight to this deity be described as follows?
55201May there not be the alternative, I said, that we may persuade you to let us go?
55201May we not be satisfied with that?
55201May we not say that these desires spend, and that the others make money because they conduce to production?
55201May we not say that this is the end of a pruning- hook?
55201May we say so, then?
55201Must he not either perish at the hands of his enemies, or from being a man become a wolf-- that is, a tyrant?
55201Must we not ask who are to be rulers and who subjects?
55201Must we not then infer that the individual is wise in the same way, and in virtue of the same quality which makes the State wise?
55201Nay, are they not wholly different?
55201Need I ask again whether the eye has an end?
55201Neither must they represent slaves, male or female, performing the offices of slaves?
55201Neither will he ever break faith where there have been oaths or agreements?
55201Neither, I said, can there be any question that the guardian who is to keep anything should have eyes rather than no eyes?
55201Next as to the slain; ought the conquerors, I said, to take anything but their armour?
55201Next, as to war; what are to be the relations of your soldiers to one another and to their enemies?
55201Next, how shall our soldiers treat their enemies?
55201Niebuhr has asked a trifling question, which may be briefly noticed in this place-- Was Plato a good citizen?
55201No more than this?
55201No one will be less likely to commit adultery, or to dishonour his father and mother, or to fail in his religious duties?
55201No, indeed, I replied; and the same is true of most, if not all, the other senses-- you would not say that any of them requires such an addition?
55201Nonsense, said Glaucon: did you not promise to search* 427E* yourself, saying that for you not to help justice in her need would be an impiety?
55201Nor by reason of a knowledge which advises about brazen{ 118} pots, I said, nor as possessing any other similar knowledge?
55201Nor can the good harm any one?
55201Nor may they imitate the neighing of horses, the bellowing of bulls, the murmur of rivers and roll of the ocean, thunder, and all that sort of thing?
55201Nor would you say that medicine is the art of receiving pay because a man takes fees when he is engaged in healing?
55201Nor yet by reason of a knowledge which cultivates the earth; that would give the city the name of agricultural?
55201Nor, if a man is to be in condition, would you allow him to have a Corinthian girl as his fair friend?
55201Not to mention the importers and exporters, who are called merchants?
55201Not, perhaps, in this brief span of life: but should an immortal being care about anything short of eternity?
55201Now are we* 475E* to maintain that all these and any who have similar tastes, as well as the professors of quite minor arts, are philosophers?
55201Now in vessels which are in a state of mutiny and by sailors who are mutineers, how will the true pilot be regarded?
55201Now is there not here a third principle which is often found to come to the assistance of reason against desire, but never of desire against reason?
55201Now to which of these classes does temperance belong?
55201Now what man answers to this form of government-- how did he come into being, and what is he like?
55201Now what opinion of any other Sophist, or of any private person, can be expected to overcome in such an unequal contest?
55201Now which is the purer satisfaction-- that of eating and drinking, or that of knowledge?
55201Now why is such an inference erroneous?
55201Now you understand me?
55201Now, I beseech you, do tell me, have you ever attended to their pairing and breeding?
55201Now, I said, every art has an interest?
55201Now, are not the best husbandmen those who are most devoted to husbandry?
55201Now, can we find justice without troubling ourselves about temperance?
55201Now, in* 562E* such a State, can liberty have any limit?
55201Now, ought a man to feel pleasure in seeing another do what he hates and abominates in himself?
55201O my friend, is not that so?
55201Of course you know that ambition and avarice are held to be, as indeed they are, a disgrace?
55201Of not- being, ignorance was assumed to be the necessary correlative; of being, knowledge?
55201Of the painter we say that he will paint reins, and he will paint a bit?
55201Of the three individuals, which has the greatest experience of all the pleasures which we enumerated?
55201Of what kind?
55201Of what nature are you speaking?
55201Of what nature?
55201On what principle, then, shall we any longer choose justice rather than the worst injustice?
55201Once more let me ask: Does he who desires any class of goods, desire the whole class or a part only?
55201Once more then, O my friend, we have alighted upon an easy question-- whether the soul has these three principles or not?
55201One of them is ready to follow the guidance of the law?
55201One principle prevails in the souls of one class of men,* 581C* another in others, as may happen?
55201Or any affinity to virtue in general?
55201Or be jealous of one who has no jealousy?
55201Or because a man is in good health when he receives pay you would not say that the art of payment is medicine?
55201Or drought moisture?
55201Or have the arts to look only* 342B* after their own interests?
55201Or hear, except with the ear?
55201Or if honour or victory or courage, in that case the judgment of the ambitious or pugnacious would be the truest?
55201Or is the Idea of Good another mode of conceiving God?
55201Or is there any{ cxlviii} Homeric way of life, such as the Pythagorean was, in which you instructed men, and which is called after you?
55201Or like shoemaking for the acquisition of shoes,--that is what you mean?
55201Or must we admit exceptions?
55201Or perhaps he may tell a lie because he is afraid of enemies?
55201Or shall I guess for you?
55201Or shall the dead be despoiled?
55201Or suppose a better sort of man who is attracted towards philosophy, will they not make Herculean efforts to spoil and corrupt him?
55201Or that his nature, being such as we have delineated, is akin to the highest good?
55201Or the horseman by his art make them bad horsemen?
55201Or the verse''The saddest of fates is to die and meet destiny from hunger[22]''?
55201Or was any war ever carried on by your counsels?
55201Or what shall he profit by escaping discovery, if the concealment of evil prevents the cure?
55201Or will they prefer those whom we have rejected?
55201Or, after all, they may be in the right, and poets do really know the things about which they seem to the many to speak so well?
55201Or, if the master would not stay, then the disciples would have followed him about everywhere, until they had got education enough?
55201Or{ 258} did he only seem to be a member of the ruling body, although in truth he was neither ruler nor subject, but just a spendthrift?
55201Ought I not to begin by describing how the change from timocracy to oligarchy arises?
55201Ought I, for example, to put back into the hands of my friend, who has gone mad, the sword which I borrowed of him when he was in his right mind?
55201Parents and tutors are always telling their sons and their* 363A* wards that they are to be just; but why?
55201Perhaps he of whom we say the last will be angry with us; can we pacify him without revealing the disorder of his mind?
55201Presently he finds that imputations are cast upon them; a troublesome querist comes and asks,''What is the just and good?''
55201Reflect: is not the dreamer, sleeping or waking, one who likens dissimilar things, who puts the copy in the place of the real object?
55201Reflect: when a man has an opinion, has he not an opinion about something?
55201Salvation of what?
55201Say, then, is not pleasure opposed to pain?
55201Shall Hellenes be enslaved?
55201Shall I assume that we ourselves are able and experienced judges and have before now met with such a person?
55201Shall I give you an illustration?
55201Shall I tell you why?
55201Shall they listen to the narrative of Hephaestus binding his mother, and of Zeus sending him flying for helping her when she was beaten?
55201Shall we begin by assuring him that he is welcome to any knowledge which he may have, and that we are rejoiced at his having it?
55201Shall we begin education with music, and go on to gymnastic afterwards?
55201Shall we not?
55201Shall we propose, as a third branch of our education, astronomy?
55201Shall we, after the manner of Homer, pray the Muses to tell us''how discord* 545E* first arose''?
55201Shall we, then, speak of Him as the natural author or maker of the bed?
55201Socrates proceeds: But where amid all this is justice?
55201Socrates, what do you mean?
55201Socrates, who is evidently preparing for an argument, next asks, What is the meaning of the word''justice''?
55201Something that is; for how can that which is not ever be known?
55201Still, I should like to ascertain how astronomy can be learned in any manner more conducive to that knowledge of which we are speaking?
55201Still, the dangers of war can not be always foreseen; there is a good deal of chance about them?
55201Such is the{ 105} tale; is there any possibility of making our citizens believe in it?
55201Such will be the change, and after the change has been made,* 547D* how will they proceed?
55201Such, then, are the palms of victory which the gods give the just?
55201Suppose now that by the light of the examples just offered we enquire who this imitator is?
55201Suppose we select an example of either kind, in order that we may have a general notion of them?
55201Tell me, Thrasymachus, I said, did you mean by justice what the stronger thought to be his interest, whether really so or not?
55201That is also good, he said; but I should like to know what you mean?
55201That is his meaning then?
55201That is quite true, he said; but to what are you alluding?
55201That is to say, justice is useful when money is useless?
55201That since beauty is the opposite of ugliness, they are two?
55201That will be the way?
55201The State which we have been describing is said to be wise as being good in counsel?
55201The existence of such persons is to be attributed to want of education, ill- training, and an evil constitution of the State?
55201The good which oligarchy proposed to itself and the means by which it was maintained was excess of wealth-- am I not right?
55201The imitative artist will be in a brilliant state of intelligence about his own creations?
55201The next question is, How shall we treat our enemies?
55201The next question is, Who are to be our rulers?
55201The object of one is food, and of the other drink?
55201The one love and embrace the subjects of knowledge, the other those of opinion?
55201The pleasure of eating is necessary in two ways; it does us good and it is essential to the continuance of life?
55201The process is as follows: When a potter becomes rich, will he, think you, any longer take the same pains with his art?
55201The question is asked,--Why are the citizens of states so hostile to philosophy?
55201The second paradox leads up to some curious and interesting questions-- How far can the mind control the body?
55201The soul, I said, being, as is now proven, immortal, must be the fairest of compositions and can not be compounded of many elements?
55201The true lie is hated not only by the gods, but also by men?
55201The true lover of learning then must from his earliest youth, as far as in him lies, desire all truth?
55201The very great benefit has next to be established?
55201The whole period of three score years and ten is surely but a little thing in comparison with eternity?
55201Their pleasures are mixed with pains-- how can they be otherwise?
55201Then I may infer courage to be such as you describe?
55201Then I suppose that opinion appears to you to be darker than knowledge, but lighter than ignorance?
55201Then I suppose that we ought to do good to the just and harm to the unjust?
55201Then a city is not to be called wise because possessing a knowledge which counsels for the best about wooden implements?
55201Then according to your argument it is just to injure those who do no wrong?
55201Then an evil soul must necessarily be an evil ruler and superintendent, and the good soul a good ruler?
55201Then are we to impose all our enactments on men and none of them on women?
55201Then carpenters, and smiths, and many other artisans, will be sharers in our little State, which is already beginning to grow?
55201Then clearly the next thing will be to make matrimony sacred in the highest degree, and what is most beneficial will be deemed sacred?
55201Then comparing our original city, which was under a king, and the city which is under a tyrant, how do they stand as to virtue?
55201Then he can hardly be compelled by external influence to take many shapes?
55201Then he who is a good keeper of anything is also a good thief?
55201Then he who is to be a really good and noble guardian of the State will require to unite in himself philosophy and spirit and swiftness and strength?
55201Then he will no more have true opinion than he will have knowledge about the goodness or badness of his imitations?
55201Then hirelings will help to make up our population?
55201Then how can he who has magnificence of mind and is the spectator of all time and all existence, think much of human life?
55201Then if being is the subject- matter of knowledge, something else must be the subject- matter of opinion?
55201Then if geometry compels us to view being, it concerns us; if becoming only, it does not concern us?
55201Then if the constitutions of States are five, the dispositions of individual minds will also be five?
55201Then in every way the laws will help the citizens to keep the peace with one another?
55201Then in making their laws they may sometimes make them rightly, and sometimes not?
55201Then in this case the narrative of the poet may be said to proceed by way of imitation?
55201Then in time of peace justice will be of no use?
55201Then in time of peace what is the good of justice?
55201Then it will be our duty to select, if we can, natures which are fitted for the task of guarding the city?
55201Then knowledge and opinion having distinct powers have also distinct spheres or subject- matters?
55201Then men who are injured are of necessity made unjust?
55201Then more husbandmen and more artisans will be required?
55201Then must not a further admission be made?
55201Then no intemperance or madness should be allowed to approach true love?
55201Then no motive can be imagined why God should lie?
55201Then now comes the question,--How shall we create our rulers; what way is there from darkness to light?
55201Then on this view also justice will be admitted to be the having and doing what is a man''s own, and belongs to him?
55201Then opinion and knowledge have to do with different kinds of matter corresponding to this difference of faculties?
55201Then opinion is not concerned either with being or with not- being?
55201Then reflect; has the ear or voice need of any third or* 507D* additional nature in order that the one may be able to hear and the other to be heard?
55201Then shall we try to find some way of convincing him, if we can, that he is saying what is not true?
55201Then the art of war partakes of them?
55201Then the community of wives and children among our citizens is clearly the source of the greatest good to the State?
55201Then the cowardly and mean nature has no part in true philosophy?
55201Then the intermediate state of rest will be pleasure and will also be pain?
55201Then the just is happy, and the unjust miserable?
55201Then the just is like the wise and good, and the unjust like the evil and ignorant?
55201Then the just soul and the just man will live well, and the unjust man will live ill?
55201Then the lover of wisdom has a great advantage over the lover of gain, for he has a double experience?
55201Then the lying poet has no place in our idea of God?
55201Then the soul of the thirsty one, in so far as he is thirsty,* 439B* desires only drink; for this he yearns and tries to obtain it?
55201Then the sun is not sight, but the author of sight who is recognised by sight?
55201Then the tyrant is removed from true pleasure by the space of a number which is three times three?
55201Then the tyrant will live at the greatest distance from true or natural pleasure, and the king at the least?
55201Then the wise and good will not desire to gain more than his like, but more than his unlike and opposite?
55201Then the world can not possibly be a philosopher?
55201Then there is nothing impossible or out of the order of nature in our finding a guardian who has a similar combination of qualities?
55201Then there must be another class of citizens who will bring the required supply from another city?
55201Then they will quarrel as those who intend some day to be reconciled?
55201Then this is the progress which you call dialectic?
55201Then this new kind of knowledge must have an additional quality?
55201Then to injure a friend or any one else is not the act of a just man, but of the opposite, who is the unjust?
55201Then to them the good will be enemies and the evil will be their friends?
55201Then virtue is the health and beauty and well- being of the* 444E* soul, and vice the disease and weakness and deformity of the same?
55201Then we have found the desired natures; and now that we have found them, how are they to be reared and educated?
55201Then we have made an enactment not only possible but in the highest degree beneficial to the State?
55201Then we may assume that our athletes will be able to fight with two or three times their own number?
55201Then we may begin by assuming that there are three classes of men-- lovers of wisdom, lovers of honour, lovers of gain?
55201Then we must abstain from spoiling the dead or hindering their burial?
55201Then we shall want merchants?
55201Then what is that joint use of silver or gold in which the just man is to be preferred?
55201Then what is your meaning?
55201Then what will you do with them?
55201Then when the person who asks me is not in his right mind I am by no means to make the return?
55201Then who is more miserable?
55201Then why should you mind?
55201Then will not the citizens be good and civilized?
55201Then women must be taught music and gymnastic and also the art of war, which they must practise like the men?
55201Then you never heard of the saying of Phocylides, that as soon as a man has a livelihood he should practise virtue?
55201Then you will make a law that they shall have such an education as will enable them to attain the greatest skill in asking and answering questions?
55201Then you would infer that opinion is intermediate?
55201Then, I said, if these and these only are to be used in our songs and melodies, we shall not want multiplicity of notes or a panharmonic scale?
55201Then, I said, no science or art considers or enjoins the interest of the stronger or superior, but only the interest* 342D* of the subject and weaker?
55201Then, again, within the city, how will they exchange their{ 52} productions?
55201Then, do you see any way in which the philosopher can* 494B* be preserved in his calling to the end?
55201Then, if there be any good which all artists have in common, that is to be attributed to something of which they all have the common use?
55201Then, if women are to have the same duties as men, they* 452A* must have the same nurture and education?
55201Then, under the influence either of poverty or of wealth, workmen and their work are equally liable to degenerate?
55201There is a thing which you call good and another which you call evil?
55201There is another which is the work of the carpenter?
55201There is the knowledge of the carpenter; but is that the sort of knowledge which gives a city the title of wise and good in counsel?
55201There may come a time when the saying,''Have I not a right to do what I will with my own?''
55201There were two parts in our former scheme of education,* 521E* were there not?
55201There you are right, he replied; but if any one asks where are such models to be found and of what tales are you speaking-- how shall we answer him?
55201These are the three styles-- which of them is to be admitted into our State?
55201These matters, however, as I was saying, had better be referred to Damon himself, for the analysis of the subject would be difficult, you know?
55201These then may be truly said to be the ends of these organs?
55201These, then, are the two kinds of style?
55201They are like faces which were never really beautiful, but only blooming; and now the bloom of youth has passed away from them?
55201They will use friendly correction, but will not enslave or destroy their opponents; they will be correctors, not enemies?
55201The{ cxx} man is mean, saving, toiling,* 554* the slave of one passion which is the master of the rest: Is he not the very image of the State?
55201This, I said, is he who begins to make a party against the rich?
55201Thus much of music, which makes a fair ending; for what should be the end of music if not the love of beauty?
55201To be sure, he said; how can he think otherwise?
55201To return to the tyrant-- How will he support that rare army of his?
55201To tell the truth and pay your debts?
55201To what do you refer?
55201True, I said; but would you never allow them to run any risk?
55201True, he replied; but what of that?
55201True, he said; how could they see anything but the* 515B* shadows if they were never allowed to move their heads?
55201Undoubtedly; and yet if music and gymnastic are excluded, and the arts are also excluded, what remains?
55201Union and force and rhetoric will do much; and if men say that they can not prevail over the gods, still how do we know that there are gods?
55201Until some one rare and grand result is reached which may be good, and may be the reverse of good?
55201Very good, I said; then what is the next question?
55201Very good, Thrasymachus, I said; and now to take the case of the arts: you would admit that one man is a musician and* 349E* another not a musician?
55201Very true, Adeimantus; but then, would any one, whether God or man, desire to make himself worse?
55201Very true, he said; but what are these forms of theology which you mean?
55201Very true, said Adeimantus; but how does the illustration* 368E* apply to our enquiry?
55201Was not the selection of the male guardians determined by differences of this sort?
55201Was not this the beginning of the enquiry''What is great?''
55201We acknowledged-- did we not?
55201We can not but remember that the justice of the State* 441E* consisted in each of the three classes doing the work of its own class?
55201We had to consider, first, whether our proposals were possible, and secondly whether they were the most beneficial?
55201We must recollect that the individual in whom the several qualities of his nature do their own work will be just, and will do his own work?
55201We were saying that the parents should be in the prime of life?
55201We were saying, when we spoke of the subject- matter, that we had no need of lamentation and strains of sorrow?
55201Well then, here are three beds: one existing in nature, which is made by God, as I think that we may say-- for no one else can be the maker?
55201Well then, is not- being the subject- matter of opinion?
55201Well then, you would admit that the qualities of states mean the qualities of the individuals who compose them?
55201Well, I said, and how does the change from oligarchy into democracy arise?
55201Well, I said, and in oligarchical States do you not find paupers?
55201Well, I said, and is there no evil which corrupts the soul?
55201Well, I said, the subject has several difficulties-- What is possible?
55201Well, I said; but if we suppose a change in anything, that* 380E* change must be effected either by the thing itself, or by some other thing?
55201Well, and are these of any military use?
55201Well, and can the eyes fulfil their end if they are{ 34} wanting* 353C* in their own proper excellence and have a defect instead?
55201Well, and do you think that those who say so are wrong?
55201Well, and is not this one quality, to mention no others, greatly at variance with present notions of him?
55201Well, and your guardian must be brave if he is to fight well?
55201Well, but can you imagine that God will be willing to lie, whether in word or deed, or to put forth a phantom of himself?
55201Well, but has any one a right to say positively what he does not know?
55201Well, but if they are ever to run a risk should they not do so on some occasion when, if they escape disaster, they will be the better for it?
55201Well, but what ought to be the criterion?
55201Well, he said, have you never heard that forms of government differ; there are tyrannies, and there are democracies, and there are aristocracies?
55201Well, you know of course that the greater is relative to the less?
55201Well; and has not the soul an end which nothing else can fulfil?
55201Were not these your words?
55201What about this?
55201What admission?
55201What admissions?
55201What are these corruptions?
55201What are they, he said, and where shall I find them?
55201What are they?
55201What are they?
55201What are they?
55201What are you going to say?
55201What causes?
55201What defect?
55201What did I borrow?
55201What division?
55201What do they say?
55201What do you deserve to have done to you?
55201What do you mean, Socrates?
55201What do you mean?
55201What do you mean?
55201What do you mean?
55201What do you mean?
55201What do you mean?
55201What do you mean?
55201What do you mean?
55201What do you mean?
55201What do you mean?
55201What do you mean?
55201What do you mean?
55201What do you mean?
55201What do you mean?
55201What do you mean?
55201What do you mean?
55201What do you mean?
55201What do you mean?
55201What do you mean?
55201What do you mean?
55201What do you mean?
55201What do you say?
55201What do you say?
55201What do you say?
55201What do you say?''
55201What do you think?
55201What else can they do?
55201What else then would you say?
55201What else would you have?
55201What evil?
55201What evils?
55201What faculty?
55201What good?
55201What is desirable?
55201What is it?
55201What is it?
55201What is it?
55201What is most required?
55201What is that you are saying?
55201What is that?
55201What is that?
55201What is that?
55201What is that?
55201What is that?
55201What is that?
55201What is that?
55201What is the difference?
55201What is the process?
55201What is the proposition?
55201What is there remaining?
55201What is to be done then?
55201What is your illustration?
55201What is your notion?
55201What is your proposal?
55201What limit would you propose?
55201What makes you say that?
55201What may that be?
55201What may that be?
55201What may that be?
55201What of this line,''O heavy with wine, who hast the eyes of a dog and the heart of a stag[20],''* 390A* and of the words which follow?
55201What point of view?
55201What point?
55201What principle of rival Sophists or anybody else can overcome in such an unequal contest?
55201What quality?
55201What quality?
55201What question?
55201What shall he profit, if his injustice be undetected and unpunished?
55201What shall we say to him?
55201What should they fear?
55201What sort of instances do you mean?
55201What sort of knowledge is there which would draw the soul from becoming to being?
55201What sort of lie?
55201What sort of mischief?
55201What study do you mean-- of the prelude, or what?
55201What tale?
55201What the poets and story- tellers say-- that the wicked prosper and the righteous are afflicted, or that justice is another''s gain?
55201What then is the real object of them?
55201What then was his meaning?]
55201What then?
55201What trait?
55201What was the error, Polemarchus?
55201What was the mistake?
55201What was the omission?
55201What way?
55201What will be the issue of such marriages?
55201What will they doubt?
55201What, Thrasymachus, is the meaning of this?
55201What, again, is the meaning of light and heavy, if that which is light is also heavy, and that which is heavy, light?
55201What, are there any greater still?
55201What, he said, is there a knowledge still higher than this-- higher than justice and the other virtues?
55201What, now, I said, if he were able to run away and then* 422C* turn and strike at the one who first came up?
55201What, then, is the nature of dialectic, and what are the paths which lead thither?''
55201What?
55201When Simonides said that the repayment of a debt was justice, he did not mean to include that case?
55201When he is by himself he will not mind saying or doing many things which he would be ashamed of any one hearing or seeing him do?
55201When horses are injured, are they improved or deteriorated?
55201When is this accomplished?
55201When mankind see that the happiness of states is only to be found in that image, will they be angry with us for attempting to delineate it?
55201When they make them rightly, they make them agreeably to their interest; when they are mistaken, contrary to their interest; you admit that?
55201Where must I look?
55201Where then is he to gain experience?
55201Where then?
55201Where, then, is justice, and where is injustice, and in what part of the State did they spring up?
55201Whereas he who has a taste for every sort of knowledge and who is curious to learn and is never satisfied, may be justly termed a philosopher?
55201Whereas the bad and ignorant will desire to gain more than both?
55201Whereas the physician and the carpenter have different natures?
55201Whereas true love is a love of beauty and order-- temperate and harmonious?
55201Which appetites do you mean?
55201Which are they?
55201Which is a just principle?
55201Which of us has spoken truly?
55201Which years do you mean to include?
55201Who better suited to raise the question of justice than Cephalus, whose life might seem to be the expression of it?
55201Who can be at enmity with one who loves them, who that is himself gentle and free from envy will be jealous of one in whom there is no jealousy?
55201Who can hate a man who loves him?
55201Who can measure probabilities against certainties?
55201Who can weigh virtue, or even fortune against health, or moral and mental qualities against bodily?
55201Who is it, I said, whom you are refusing to let off?
55201Who is that?
55201Who that is not a miserable caitiff will refrain from smiling at the praises of justice?
55201Who then are those whom we shall compel to be guardians?
55201Who then can be a guardian?
55201Who was that?
55201Whom, I said, are you{ lxx} not going to let off?
55201Whose is that light which makes the eye to see perfectly and the visible to appear?
55201Whose?
55201Why do you ask such a question, I said, when you ought rather to be answering?
55201Why do you ask?
55201Why do you say so?
55201Why great caution?
55201Why indeed, he said, when any name will do which expresses the thought of the mind with clearness?
55201Why is that?
55201Why not?
55201Why not?
55201Why not?
55201Why should he?
55201Why should they not be?
55201Why so?
55201Why so?
55201Why so?
55201Why so?
55201Why, I replied, what do you want more?
55201Why, I said, do you not see that men are unwillingly deprived of good, and willingly of evil?
55201Why, I said, what was ever great in a short time?
55201Why, in the first place, although they are all of a good sort, are not some better than others?
55201Why, what else is there?
55201Why, yes, I said, of course they answer truly; how can the Muses speak falsely?
55201Why, yes, he said: how can any reasonable being ever identify that which is infallible with that which errs?
55201Why, you do not mean to say that the tyrant will use violence?
55201Why?
55201Why?
55201Why?
55201Why?
55201Will any one deny the other point, that there may be sons of kings or princes who are by nature philosophers?
55201Will any private training enable him to stand firm against the overwhelming flood of popular opinion?
55201Will he know from use whether or no his drawing is correct or beautiful?
55201Will he not also require natural aptitude for his calling?
55201Will he not be called by them a prater, a star- gazer, a good- for- nothing?
55201Will he not fancy that the shadows which he formerly saw are truer than the objects which are now shown to him?
55201Will he not have the notions of good and evil which the public in general have-- he will do as they do, and as they are, such will he be?
55201Will he not rather obtain them on the spot?
55201Will he not think that heaven and the things in heaven are framed by the{ 233} Creator of them in the most perfect manner?
55201Will he not utterly hate a lie?
55201Will horsemen carry torches and pass them one to another during the race?
55201Will not a young man''s heart leap amid these discordant sounds?
55201Will not the guardians be the smallest of all the classes who receive a name from the profession of some kind of knowledge?
55201Will not their eyes be dazzled, and will they not try to get away from the light to something which they are able to behold without blinking?
55201Will our citizens ever believe all this?
55201Will the creature feel any compunction at tyrannizing over them?
55201Will the just man or citizen ever be guilty of sacrilege or theft, or treachery either to his friends or to his country?
55201Will the just state or the just individual* 443* steal, lie, commit adultery, or be guilty of impiety to gods and men?
55201Will they disbelieve us, when we tell them that no State can be happy which is not designed by artists who imitate the heavenly pattern?
55201Will they doubt that the philosopher is a lover of truth and being?
55201Will they not be vile and bastard, devoid of truth and nature?
55201Will they not be vile and bastard?
55201Will they not produce corn, and wine, and clothes, and shoes, and build houses for themselves?
55201Will you admit so much?
55201Will you enquire yourself?
55201Will you explain your meaning?
55201Will you repay me, then, what you borrowed in the argument?
55201Will you say whether you approve of my proposal?
55201Will you tell me?
55201Will you tell me?
55201Will you then kindly answer, for the edification of the company and of myself?
55201Would a man who wanted to be safe on a voyage take a bad pilot because he was rich, or refuse a good one because he was poor?
55201Would any one deny this?
55201Would he allow imitation to be the ruling principle of his life, as if he had* 599B* nothing higher in him?
55201Would he not have had many devoted followers?
55201Would he not rather say or do the same as his like in the same case?
55201Would not he who is fitted to be a guardian, besides the spirited nature, need to have the qualities of a philosopher?
55201Would that be your way of speaking?
55201Would the picture of a perfectly beautiful man be any the worse because no such man ever lived?
55201Would they not have been as unwilling to part with them as with gold, and have compelled them to stay{ 314}* 600E* at home with them?
55201Would you call one of them virtue and the other vice?
55201Would you have me put the proof bodily into your souls?
55201Would you like, for the sake of clearness, to distinguish which are the necessary and which are the unnecessary pleasures?
55201Would you say that all men are equal in excellence, or is one man better than another?
55201Would you say that knowledge is a faculty, or in what class would you place it?
55201Yes, I said, a jest; and why?
55201Yes, I said; and the higher principle is ready to follow this suggestion of reason?
55201Yes, I said; and this being true of one must be equally true of all number?
55201Yes, I said; and when a man dies gloriously in war shall we not say, in the first place, that he is of the golden race?
55201Yes, I said; but if this definition of justice also breaks down, what other can be offered?
55201Yes, Socrates, he said, and if you were providing for a city of pigs, how else would you feed the beasts?
55201Yes, but also something more-- Is it not doubtful whether our guardians are to be imitators at all?
55201Yes, but could this ever have happened if Homer had really been the educator of Hellas?
55201Yes, but do not persons often err about good and evil: many who are not good seem to be so, and conversely?
55201Yes, he replied, such is very often the case; but what has that to do with us and our argument?
55201Yes, he said, that sort of thing is certainly very blameable; but what are the stories which you mean?
55201Yes, he said; but what are the characteristics of this form* 551C* of government, and what are the defects of which we were speaking[6]?
55201Yes, he said; how can I deny it?
55201Yes, the greatest; but will you explain yourself?
55201Yes; and is not this true of the government of anything[7]?
55201Yes; but how in such partnerships is the just man of more use than any other man?
55201Yet if he is not the maker, what is he in relation to the bed?
55201Yet of all the organs of sense the eye is the most like the sun?
55201You are aware, I suppose, that all mythology and poetry is a narration of events, either past, present, or to come?
55201You are further aware that most people affirm pleasure to be the good, but the finer sort of wits say it is knowledge?
55201You have answered me, I replied: Well, and may we not* 456E* further say that our guardians are the best of our citizens?
55201You know that they live securely and have nothing to apprehend from their servants?
55201You mean geometry?
55201You mean that they would shipwreck?
55201You mean that you do not understand the nature of this* 347B* payment which to the best men is the great inducement to rule?
55201You mean to say that the people, from whom he has derived his being, will maintain him and his companions?
55201You mean when money is not wanted, but allowed to lie?
55201You mean, I suspect, to ask whether tragedy and comedy shall be admitted into our State?
55201You recognise the truth of what I have been saying?
55201You remember what people say when they are sick?
55201You remember, I said, how the rulers were chosen before?
55201You say that perfect injustice is more gainful than perfect justice?
55201You would agree with me?
55201You would argue that the good are our friends and the bad our enemies?
55201You would compare them, I said, to those invalids who, having no self- restraint, will not leave off their habits of intemperance?
55201You would not be inclined to say, would you, that navigation is the art of medicine, at least if we are to adopt your exact use of language?
55201You would not deny that{ 207} those who have any true notion without intelligence are only like blind men who feel their way along the road?
55201[ 4]Will they not be sophisms captivating to the ear, having nothing in them genuine, or worthy of or akin to true wisdom?
55201[ Sidenote: A new point of view: Is not he who is best able to do good best able to do evil?]
55201[ Sidenote: But how, being poor, can she contend against a wealthy enemy?]
55201[ Sidenote: But many cities will conspire?
55201[ Sidenote: But suppose a slaveowner and his slaves carried off into the wilderness, what will happen then?
55201[ Sidenote: But what is the good?
55201[ Sidenote: But who is a philosopher?]
55201[ Sidenote: Enough of principles of education: who are to be our rulers?]
55201[ Sidenote: He then leads a life worse than the worst,] Is not his case utterly miserable?
55201[ Sidenote: How are our citizens to be reared and educated?]
55201[ Sidenote: How can we be right in sympathizing with the sorrows of poetry when we would fain restrain those of real life?]
55201[ Sidenote: How can we decide whether or no the soul has three distinct principles?]
55201[ Sidenote: Musical instruments-- which are to be rejected and which allowed?]
55201[ Sidenote: No truth which does not rest on the idea of good] And you would say the same of the conception of the good?
55201[ Sidenote: Objection: We were saying that every one should do his own work: Have not women and men severally a work of their own?]
55201[ Sidenote: Socrates knows little or nothing: how can he answer?
55201[ Sidenote: The growth of scepticism]* 537E* Do you not remark, I said, how great is the evil which dialectic has introduced?
55201[ Sidenote: The measure of the interval which separates the king from the tyrant,] Would you know the measure of the interval which separates them?
55201[ Sidenote: The philosopher alone having both judgment and experience,] And he is the only one who has wisdom as well as experience?
55201[ Sidenote: There were two parts in our former scheme of education, were there not?]
55201[ Sidenote: What knowledge will draw the soul upwards?]
55201[ Sidenote: What will the world say to this?]
55201[ Sidenote: Which are the necessary and which the unnecessary pleasures?]
55201[ Sidenote: Which of them shall be our guardians?]
55201[ Sidenote: Will any one say that we should strengthen the monster and the lion at the expense of the man?]
55201[ Sidenote: as well as for the meanness of their employments and character:] And why are mean employments and manual arts a reproach?
55201[ Sidenote: poor;]* 578A* And the tyrannical soul must be always poor and insatiable?
55201[ Sidenote: the lover of wines all wines;] And what do you say of lovers of wine?
55201[ Sidenote:( 2) The ambitious;] Suppose we call it the contentious or ambitious-- would the term be suitable?
55201and are not the best judges in like manner those who are acquainted with all sorts of moral natures?
55201and does not the actual tyrant lead a worse life than he whose life you determined to be the worst?
55201and even in their peculiar pursuits, are not women often, though in some cases superior to men, ridiculously enough surpassed by them?
55201and he who has tyrannized longest and most, most continually and truly miserable; although this may not be the opinion of men in general?
55201and how does he live, in happiness or in misery?
55201and how shall we manage the period between birth and education, which seems to require the greatest care?
55201and is no difference made by the circumstance that one of the fingers is in the middle and another at the extremity?
55201and must he not be represented as such?
55201and will any education save him from being carried away by the torrent?
55201and you{ 102} would agree that to conceive things as they are is to possess the truth?
55201and''What is small?''
55201beat his father if he opposes him?
55201he said; are they not capable of defending themselves?
55201he said; ought we to give them a worse life, when they might have a better?
55201he says;''would you have me put the words bodily into your souls?''
55201or any greater good than the bond of unity?
55201or is any invention attributed to you, as there is to Thales and Anacharsis?
55201or is the subject- matter of opinion the same as the subject- matter of knowledge?
55201or that he who errs in arithmetic or grammar is an arithmetician or grammarian at the time when he is making the mistake, in respect of the mistake?
55201or the knowledge of all other things if we have no knowledge of beauty and goodness?
55201or will he be carried away by the stream?
55201or will he have right opinion from being compelled to associate with another who knows and gives him instructions about what he should draw?
55201or will you make allowance for them?
55201or would you include the mixed?
55201or would you prefer to look to yourself only?
55201or, rather, how can there be an opinion at all about not- being?
55201or, suppose them to have no care of human things-- why in either case* 365E* should we mind about concealment?
55201shall we condescend to legislate on any of these particulars?
55201supra, 544 C.][ Sidenote: A ruler is elected because he is rich: Who would elect a pilot on this principle?]
55201were you not saying that he too makes, not the idea which, according to our view, is the essence of the bed, but only a particular bed?
55201would he not desire to have* 350B* more than either the knowing or the ignorant?
55201you are incredulous, are you?
55201{ 138} How so?
55201{ 145}* 453B* Why not?
55201{ 175} Something that is or is not?
55201{ 177} He who has an opinion has an opinion about some one thing?
55201{ 188} Justice and health of mind will be of the company, and temperance will follow after?
55201{ 202} The ruler may impose the laws and institutions which we have been describing, and the citizens may possibly be willing to obey them?
55201{ 204} And do you remember the word of caution which preceded the discussion of them[8]?
55201{ 230} Then shall we propose this as a second branch of knowledge which our youth will study?
55201{ 242} What evil?
55201{ 265} And is not their humanity to the condemned[10] in some cases quite charming?
55201{ 274} And do they not share?
55201{ 288} And the State which is enslaved under a tyrant is utterly incapable of acting voluntarily?
55201{ 28} And would he try to go beyond just action?
55201{ 296} But can that which is neither become both?
55201{ 297} You would allow, I said, that there is in nature an upper and lower and middle region?
55201{ 311} What do you mean?
55201{ 313}* 600A* Well, but is there any war on record which was carried on successfully by him, or aided by his counsels, when he was alive?
55201{ 315} And the worker in leather and brass will make them?
55201{ 321} Now can we be right in praising and admiring another who is doing that which any one of us would abominate and be ashamed of in his own person?
55201{ 323} I dare say, Glaucon, that you are as much charmed by her* 607D* as I am, especially when she appears in Homer?
55201{ 60} Of what tales are you speaking?
55201{ 62}* 379B* And is he not truly good?
55201{ 67} Then the superhuman and divine is absolutely incapable of falsehood?
55201{ 77} And narration may be either simple narration, or imitation, or a union of the two?
55201{ 81} Neither may they imitate smiths or other artificers, or* 396B* oarsmen, or boatswains, or the like?
55201{ 92} Neither would you approve of the delicacies, as they are thought, of Athenian confectionary?
55201{ xxiii} Another question has not been answered: Is the just or the unjust the happier?
