31504 | Again, is it single or diverse in its nature? |
31504 | Are not they the reactionaries who, despite the lessons of history, would revert to the days of a dependent, recallable, and hence timid judiciary? |
31504 | Are there any attributes of justice of which we can speak so confidently as being necessary, inherent, and self- evident? |
31504 | But what is this justice, declared to be so great a virtue, so ineffable, so supremely important? |
31504 | But who is to determine the matter? |
31504 | Do nature, society, industry, politics, each have a different criterion? |
31504 | Do 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? |
31504 | Do we know or can we know anything certain about justice? |
31504 | Does earlier history or later experience point to any better equipped, more stable, more safe tribunal? |
31504 | Even if society may strive to preserve the inefficient and improvident, should it do so by hampering and restraining those wiser and more capable? |
31504 | Finally, is it a reality or, as Falstaff said of honor, is it after all"a word,""a mere scutcheon?" |
31504 | If mutable, does it change of itself or do men change it? |
31504 | Indeed, Plato represents the sage Socrates as frankly confessing his inability to answer satisfactorily the persistent question"What is justice?" |
31504 | Is it immutable, or does its nature change with changing times and conditions? |
31504 | Is it simply a quality of action or conduct, or, as stated by Ulpian, is it a disposition or state of mind? |
31504 | Is it something above and apart from the will of men, or is it simply a matter of convention among men? |
31504 | Is it the same for all men and races of men or does it differ according to classes and races? |
31504 | Is it universal or local, the same everywhere or is it different in different localities? |
31504 | Is there more than one kind of justice? |
31504 | Still again, and briefly, is justice an inexorable law like the law of gravitation or can its operation have exceptions? |
31504 | Thus interpreted, are we prepared to confute the statement? |
31504 | What do they who use those terms mean by them? |
31504 | Who is to determine what degree of restraint or liberty is necessary to secure this order and harmony, this justice? |
31504 | Who of us has ever fallen over a chair in the dark without mentally, at least, consigning it to perdition? |
37325 | A guv''niss,he said, pausing in the act of raising a spoonful of oatmeal porridge to his mouth,"a guv''niss, papa? |
37325 | All through what, Mr Dewar? |
37325 | Am de buffaloes all gone, massa? |
37325 | And I suppose you_ must_ sing? |
37325 | And are n''t you afraid the sailors may shoot you? |
37325 | And is it very beautiful there? |
37325 | And my pets, Andrew? |
37325 | And no one else knows of this territory? |
37325 | And when do you sail? |
37325 | And when rested you just go on again? |
37325 | And who are your enemies? |
37325 | And who is Towsie? |
37325 | And why are your wings and back so dusky and dark? |
37325 | And why? |
37325 | Anything else? |
37325 | Anything occurred, Mr Milvaine? |
37325 | Are we not too near, Nanungamanoo? |
37325 | Are you going to kill me, or swallow me alive as we martins do the flies? |
37325 | Are you sleepy? |
37325 | Are you the cook? |
37325 | Awful sea, sonny? |
37325 | Both what? |
37325 | But I meant,continued Harry,"which way do you go?" |
37325 | But look here, lad, when you heard us stamping round and heaving in the anchor, why did you not come up and speak to me? 37325 But where did you come from, Raggy? |
37325 | But, Raggy,cried Harry,"in the name of mystery how came you here?" |
37325 | Call that an awful sea? 37325 Can you dance?" |
37325 | Can you give us a ripping good feed to- night, and have it all on the table smart at half- past six? |
37325 | Child Harold? 37325 Dangers of the deep?" |
37325 | De yeller nigger wi''de long name, massa? |
37325 | Dear me? |
37325 | Do you come from a very far- off land? |
37325 | Do you really suppose then, my worthy Nanungamanoo, that Mahmoud looked upon the matter as a commercial transaction? |
37325 | Do you see that grass field? |
37325 | Eh, Raggy, what say you? |
37325 | Enjoyed it, Raggy? |
37325 | Execution, is n''t it? |
37325 | Good morning,said Harry, nodding and smiling in turn;"fine day, is n''t it?" |
37325 | Good? |
37325 | Guvie,replied the boy,"papa tells me I should bless my enemies; must I pray for Towsie Jock?" |
37325 | Ha? |
37325 | Has Harry been here, mum? |
37325 | He wants to speak to the captain, does he? 37325 How is it done?" |
37325 | How, on the other hand,he asked himself,"have this curious people escaped the raids and ravages of the plundering slaver Arabs?" |
37325 | I have plenty of ammunition, something to eat, and the rifle, and--"Well, and what else? |
37325 | I suppose you see some terrible sights? 37325 I''m not hurt, am I?" |
37325 | If we do happen to come across another prize you know,said Captain Wayland to Mr Dewar,"we wo n''t say no to her, will we?" |
37325 | If you please, sir, I want to speak with the captain, I--"Oh, you do, do you? |
37325 | In what direction did you say you heard the cries? |
37325 | Is the dog''s name Harold? |
37325 | Let you remain in the ship? 37325 May I cry` Towsie''again, Guvie?" |
37325 | Mm? 37325 My poor fellows?" |
37325 | No, Lizzie; do n''t you know where he is? |
37325 | No, no, no? |
37325 | No? 37325 Oh, have n''t you, Guvie? |
37325 | Oh? |
37325 | Rumbled? 37325 Shall I speak to you of the coralline sea that laves the tree- fringed shores of Africa?" |
37325 | Shot him dead? 37325 Silly old fogies, were n''t they? |
37325 | Slay me now, if so minded, you infidel dogs,he shouted,"or keep me to satiate your revenge?" |
37325 | Strange, is n''t it, my dear Dr Fungus,said Dewar,"that they ca n''t fly away after they once alight on deck?" |
37325 | Suppose, sir,replied Mr Dewar, whom he seemed to be addressing,"we fire a gun to let her know we are near?" |
37325 | Talking about the condemned criminals? 37325 Tell me, boy, what makes you think so?" |
37325 | Thank you, Andrew, and the turning lathe and the tools? |
37325 | That fellow Mahmoud''s white head is coming off, is n''t it? 37325 That''s a queerer position, ai n''t it, eh? |
37325 | The buffaloes, Rag? 37325 There are dark corners, though, in this strange land of yours, are there not?" |
37325 | Three o''clock, is it? 37325 We''ll both want brushing, wo n''t we, Harry?" |
37325 | Well, do you know who lives there? |
37325 | Well, how would you like to enter the Church? 37325 Well?" |

37325 | Well? |
37325 | What an awful sea? |

37325 | What became of the captain of the dhow? |
37325 | What can I do for you to- day, Captain Hardy? |
37325 | What did you do? |
37325 | What do you mean, sir, by coming here at this time of day? 37325 What is it, Jack?" |
37325 | What is it, Raggy? |
37325 | What luck_ could_ happen to us, when we sailed on a Friday? |
37325 | What nonsense_ are_ you talking, dear? |
37325 | What shall I do with it? |
37325 | What shall I do? 37325 What shall I tell you of?" |
37325 | What''s the matter, lad? |
37325 | What''s your name, sonny? |
37325 | What''vails the vain knight- errand''s brand? 37325 Whe-- where am I?" |
37325 | Where am I to be taken to? |
37325 | Where can he be going? |
37325 | Where did you get it, Eily? 37325 Where is He who fights for the right?" |
37325 | Where is the Eye who beholds all things? |
37325 | Where_ can_ Harold be? |
37325 | Which other boys? 37325 Which way?" |
37325 | Who has done this thing? |
37325 | Who? |
37325 | Why am I toiling and moiling here,he asked himself peevishly, again and again,"when I might be far away and happy? |
37325 | Why do n''t you play with your cousins, dear? |
37325 | Will you have breakfast, laird, before you start? |
37325 | Willikin, willikin, willikin, willikin? |
37325 | Would he now? 37325 Would you know her, Raggy, if you saw her?" |
37325 | Would you not like,he said at last,"to know your fate?" |
37325 | Yes, and ai n''t it a proper ambition too? |
37325 | Yes-- French Charlie? |
37325 | You believe in that youngster, sir? |
37325 | You came through there? |
37325 | You could a beech? |
37325 | You go home now at once? |
37325 | You have a mother, Jack? |
37325 | You know, then, who committed the crime? |
37325 | You''ll be a bit sick, I suppose? |
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 | ` I hope my guests slept well?'' 37325 ` Is it really yourself, then, you robber chief?'' |
37325 | ` Is it safe?'' 37325 ` Name, senor? |
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? |
37325 | A bone?" |
37325 | A kind of private picnic?'' |
37325 | Am I not right in saying he was a kind of second edition of Robinson Crusoe? |
37325 | And knowing all we do, can we wonder at Harry''s grief? |
37325 | And maybe there wo n''t be much to pay for it either?" |
37325 | And what is it, pray, that blue- jackets will not dare, ay, and_ do_ as well as dare? |
37325 | And why? |
37325 | And you''ll come and see us sometimes, wo n''t you? |
37325 | And_ I_ would n''t either, would you, dear Guvie?" |
37325 | Are the niggers killing you? |
37325 | Are those the crimson clouds that herald the sunset? |
37325 | Are ye takin''leave o''your reason? |
37325 | Are you dead entirely? |
37325 | Black? |
37325 | But bless me, laird, what brings you into the forest at such an hour?" |
37325 | But can you find the head of your bed?'' |
37325 | But here,"he cried aloud,"Nanungamanoo, where are you?" |
37325 | But how to get there? |
37325 | But see, what is that stealing out round the point? |
37325 | But stay, will he be able to retain that freedom? |
37325 | But tell me now, I seem to know your face-- have I seen you before?" |
37325 | But tell me, youngster, why did you not explain to the mate the purpose for which you came on board?" |
37325 | But the interior of Africa is very gorgeous too, is it not?" |
37325 | But those books? |
37325 | But was he doing it? |
37325 | But what cared Mahmoud? |
37325 | But what is in that other pack? |
37325 | But why do you sing so soft and low?" |
37325 | But why do you smile? |
37325 | By night or by day? |
37325 | Can Fatherhood cease? |
37325 | Can these savages have invented electricity as a motor power?" |
37325 | Can we wonder that he bent over that faithful Jack, and that the scalding tears fell from his eyes upon the poor dead face? |
37325 | Cold? |
37325 | Could Harry now tell him more of the story of the world? |
37325 | Could we not import these? |
37325 | D''ye want me to go wi''ye?" |
37325 | Dear reader, did ever you consider what a blessing our loving Father has given us in a faithful dog? |
37325 | Did you ever notice, dear reader, what a sweet sweet song that of the house- martin is? |
37325 | Do n''t the sharks try to kill the birds?" |
37325 | Do you think I''d pitch you overboard as they did Jonah?" |
37325 | Do you understand, Mr Nanungamanoo? |
37325 | Eh, Count? |
37325 | Eh?" |
37325 | Five- and- thirty men? |
37325 | From what? |
37325 | Harry would reply,"what_ are_ they to me? |
37325 | Has he brought his feather- bed and his night- cap, and a bottle of hot water to put at his feet? |
37325 | Have I not, I reply, given you horrors enough in this chapter? |
37325 | Have another cigar?'' |
37325 | Have the trials of the day been too much for you? |
37325 | Have they smothered you alive? |
37325 | Have ye traps set in the forest? |
37325 | Have you seen a shipwreck? |
37325 | Have you, dear?" |
37325 | Have you?" |
37325 | He is asleep, is he not? |
37325 | He sat down beside his class- mate, and was soon so far recovered as to be able to whisper--"How many did I have?" |
37325 | He 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? |
37325 | How do you get there?" |
37325 | How 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_? |
37325 | How or when would the enemy come? |
37325 | How was this to end? |
37325 | How would the average English boy like to trudge o''er hill and dale, through moor and moss and forest, four long miles every morning? |
37325 | I have books, a gun, and a fishing- rod, and I have Eily; what more should I want?" |
37325 | I have known this happen over and over again, and I have asked myself, Who is to blame? |
37325 | If not--''"` You will kill us, eh?'' |
37325 | In the loft?" |
37325 | Is he bent and decrepit? |
37325 | Is it leave of your seven senses you''re taking? |
37325 | Is n''t it fun?" |
37325 | It is all up with the_ Bunting_, is it? |
37325 | Mahmoud, Mahmoud, can you wonder if I sometimes forget myself, forget your teaching, and loose grip of our religion? |
37325 | Must have cost a power o''money, eh?'' |
37325 | My hero crying? |
37325 | No preparations to hang us, or anything of that sort, is there, Marco?'' |
37325 | No room be found for them beneath or above, Nor anywhere in all the universe round? |
37325 | Now look here, did it ever strike you that I had a glass eye?'' |
37325 | Now suppose we proceed to investigate still further the contents of your mysterious pack? |
37325 | Now those monster niggers of his, what would hinder half a dozen of them from smothering us, time about, with a feather- bed? |
37325 | Or changefulness mark any counsel of God? |
37325 | Or is it asleep and dreaming you are?'' |
37325 | Or the skill of a spider be crushed as a clod? |
37325 | Ordered out? |
37325 | Ought 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? |
37325 | Pity you''re such a rase--''"` A what-- eh?'' |
37325 | Seems funny that a boy should carry a Bible with him, does it not? |
37325 | Shall I bury the cock and run away?" |
37325 | Shall I describe it?" |
37325 | Shall I describe them? |
37325 | Shall I rasp you?'' |
37325 | Shall a butterfly''s beauty be lost in the dust? |
37325 | She is scudding almost under bare poles-- scudding whither? |
37325 | So far Harry was safe, but would the Indian give the alarm? |
37325 | So you think Mahmoud will shortly come on this way?" |
37325 | So you''ve been looting too, have you? |
37325 | Something to eat?" |
37325 | Sure you locked the door? |
37325 | That''s the ammunition, is it? |
37325 | The birds singing gaily that came at my call, And give me the peace of mind dearer than all?" |
37325 | The noise it made was enough to awaken some one inside, for presently there was a cough, and a voice said--"Who''s there?" |
37325 | The story of Joseph seemed, next to that of Eden''s garden, particularly to interest his hearers, and many an interjection, many a marvelling"Lobo?" |
37325 | There?" |
37325 | They are already armed?" |
37325 | Think you-- can we keep her afloat till we reach Zanzibar?" |
37325 | Three months only? |
37325 | Towsie?" |
37325 | Turban and all? |
37325 | Was Jack really to be trusted? |
37325 | Was he dead? |
37325 | Was it football, tip- cat, or modest marbles? |
37325 | Well, then, first and foremost, how would you like to be a doctor? |
37325 | Well, who''s watch is it?" |
37325 | What amuses you, Walda?" |
37325 | What could the boy''s bent be? |
37325 | What den will poor Raggy do?" |
37325 | What fate was theirs, and what would his own fate be? |
37325 | What for you want to shoot poor Raggy?" |
37325 | What good escaping, only to perish miserably in the wilderness? |
37325 | What have ye in that bag? |
37325 | What is it?" |
37325 | What matter? |
37325 | What mattered a year or two more of wandering? |
37325 | What say you, mates?" |
37325 | What say? |
37325 | What was their game? |
37325 | What was their play? |
37325 | What were his parents doing all this weary time? |
37325 | What''s a guv''niss? |
37325 | What? |
37325 | Where are the horses?'' |
37325 | Where are you now? |
37325 | Where is the Eye? |
37325 | Where shall we hide poor massa? |
37325 | Where, Harry often wondered, were his poor men? |
37325 | Whither did his thoughts revert? |
37325 | Whither shall we look? |
37325 | Who comes first?'' |
37325 | Who could ever have dreamed that danger lurked in those lovely woods? |
37325 | Who''s afraid?'' |
37325 | Why are ye no dressed in the kilt, but in your Sunday braws?" |
37325 | Why not bows and arrows? |
37325 | Why were n''t you here at twelve o''clock, eh? |
37325 | Why, what else can I do? |
37325 | Why? |
37325 | Will he miss? |
37325 | Will he strike? |
37325 | Will you add to it by lending me two of your people to help me as carriers on my march?" |
37325 | Will you come and see the operation?" |
37325 | Would morning never, never come? |
37325 | Would the Somali be true or be treacherous? |
37325 | Would the lion never come? |
37325 | Would the queen of his country be pleased if she were here? |
37325 | Would they never fade? |
37325 | Would you have me forget that also, Mahmoud?" |
37325 | You would like to smoothe him, would n''t you, little boy? |
37325 | You''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?'' |
37325 | and in what formation? |
37325 | did you ever know, O''Brady, that I wore a wig?'' |
37325 | did you not come here to stay and talk to me for ever and ever? |
37325 | did you not hear some sound? |
37325 | dry rice? |
37325 | eh? |
37325 | he added, as he looked up,"what have you in your mouth? |
37325 | he exclaimed, in bitterness,"what_ shall_ I do? |
37325 | how would you like to be a clergyman? |
37325 | is it you, Harry? |
37325 | or the Judge be unjust? |
37325 | there 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?" |
37325 | what an imagination you have, to be sure?" |
37325 | what was coming yonder? |
37325 | what?" |
37325 | where 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? |
150 | A right noble thought; but do you suppose that we shall refrain from asking you what is this highest knowledge? |
150 | A state which is intermediate, and a sort of repose of the soul about either-- that is what you mean? |
150 | Adeimantus added: Has no one told you of the torch- race on horseback in honour of the goddess which will take place in the evening? |
150 | After this manner the democrat was generated out of the oligarch? |
150 | Again, as to the devastation of Hellenic territory or the burning of houses, what is to be the practice? |
150 | Again, has he greater experience of the pleasures of honour, or the lover of honour of the pleasures of wisdom? |
150 | Again, is not the passionate element wholly set on ruling and conquering and getting fame? |
150 | Again, when pleasure ceases, that sort of rest or cessation will be painful? |
150 | All of whom will call one another citizens? |
150 | All that would arise out of his ignorance of the true upper and middle and lower regions? |
150 | Also they are utterly unjust, if we were right in our notion of justice? |
150 | Am I not right? |
150 | Am I not right? |
150 | Am I not right? |
150 | Am I not right? |
150 | Am I not right? |
150 | And O my friend, I said, surely the gods are just? |
150 | And a man will be most likely to care about that which he loves? |
150 | And a narrative it remains both in the speeches which the poet recites from time to time and in the intermediate passages? |
150 | And again, if he is forgetful and retains nothing of what he learns, will he not be an empty vessel? |
150 | And agreeably to this mode of thinking and speaking, were we not saying that they will have their pleasures and pains in common? |
150 | And all arithmetic and calculation have to do with number? |
150 | And also of the mental ones; his soul is to be full of spirit? |
150 | And also to be within and between them? |
150 | And an art requiring as much attention as shoemaking? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And anything which is infected by any of these evils is made evil, and at last wholly dissolves and dies? |
150 | And are enemies also to receive what we owe to them? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And are you going to run away before you have fairly taught or learned whether they are true or not? |
150 | And are you stronger than all these? |
150 | And as State is to State in virtue and happiness, so is man in relation to man? |
150 | And as we are to have the best of guardians for our city, must they not be those who have most the character of guardians? |
150 | And both pleasure and pain are motions of the soul, are they not? |
150 | And both should be in harmony? |
150 | And by contracts you mean partnerships? |
150 | And can any one of those many things which are called by particular names be said to be this rather than not to be this? |
150 | And can she or can she not fulfil her own ends when deprived of that excellence? |
150 | And can that which does no evil be a cause of evil? |
150 | And can the just by justice make men unjust, or speaking general can the good by virtue make them bad? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And can therefore neither be ignorance nor knowledge? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And democracy has her own good, of which the insatiable desire brings her to dissolution? |
150 | And do I differ from you, he said, as to the importance of the enquiry? |
150 | And do not good practices lead to virtue, and evil practices to vice? |
150 | And do not the two styles, or the mixture of the two, comprehend all poetry, and every form of expression in words? |
150 | And do the unjust appear to you to be wise and good? |
150 | And do they not educate to perfection young and old, men and women alike, and fashion them after their own hearts? |
150 | And do they not share? |
150 | And do we know what we opine? |
150 | And do you also agree, I said, in describing the dialectician as one who attains a conception of the essence of each thing? |
150 | And do you breed from them all indifferently, or do you take care to breed from the best only? |
150 | And do you consider truth to be akin to proportion or to disproportion? |
150 | And do you imagine, I said, that I am such a madman as to try and cheat, Thrasymachus? |
150 | And do you not know, I said, that all mere opinions are bad, and the best of them blind? |
150 | And do you remember the word of caution which preceded the discussion of them? |
150 | And do you take the oldest or the youngest, or only those of ripe age? |
150 | And do you wish to behold what is blind and crooked and base, when others will tell you of brightness and beauty? |
150 | And does not the latter-- I mean the rebellious principle-- furnish a great variety of materials for imitation? |
150 | And does not the same hold also of the ridiculous? |
150 | And does not the same principle hold in the sciences? |
150 | And does not tyranny spring from democracy in the same manner as democracy from oligarchy-- I mean, after a sort? |
150 | And does the essence of the invariable partake of knowledge in the same degree as of essence? |
150 | And dogs are deteriorated in the good qualities of dogs, and not of horses? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And each of them is such as his like is? |
150 | And even to this are there not exceptions? |
150 | And everything else on the style? |
150 | And food and wisdom are the corresponding satisfactions of either? |
150 | And from being a keeper of the law he is converted into a breaker of it? |
150 | And good counsel is clearly a kind of knowledge, for not by ignorance, but by knowledge, do men counsel well? |
150 | And has not the body itself less of truth and essence than the soul? |
150 | And has not the eye an excellence? |
150 | And has not the soul an excellence also? |
150 | And he is good in as far as he is wise, and bad in as far as he is foolish? |
150 | And he is the best guard of a camp who is best able to steal a march upon the enemy? |
150 | And he is the only one who has wisdom as well as experience? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And he who is most skilful in preventing or escaping from a disease is best able to create one? |
150 | And he who is not on a voyage has no need of a pilot? |
150 | And he who lives well is blessed and happy, and he who lives ill the reverse of happy? |
150 | And his friends and fellow- citizens will want to use him as he gets older for their own purposes? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And how am I to do so? |
150 | And how can one who is thus circumstanced ever become a philosopher? |
150 | And how can we rightly answer that question? |
150 | And how does the son come into being? |
150 | And how is the error to be corrected? |
150 | And how long is this stage of their lives to last? |
150 | And how will they proceed? |
150 | And how would he regard the attempt to gain an advantage over the unjust; would that be considered by him as just or unjust? |
150 | And if care was not taken in the breeding, your dogs and birds would greatly deteriorate? |
150 | And if merchandise is to be carried over the sea, skilful sailors will also be needed, and in considerable numbers? |
150 | And if our youth are to do their work in life, must they not make these graces and harmonies their perpetual aim? |
150 | And if that is true, what sort of general must he have been? |
150 | And if the old man and woman fight for their own, what then, my friend? |
150 | And if the world perceives that what we are saying about him is the truth, will they be angry with philosophy? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And if they are to be what we were describing, is there not another quality which they should also possess? |
150 | And if they turn out to be two, is not each of them one and different? |
150 | And if they were able to converse with one another, would they not suppose that they were naming what was actually before them? |
150 | And if we only have a guardian who has this knowledge our State will be perfectly ordered? |
150 | And ignorance and folly are inanitions of the soul? |
150 | And in like manner does the touch adequately perceive the qualities of thickness or thinness, or softness or hardness? |
150 | And in oligarchical States, from the general spread of carelessness and extravagance, men of good family have often been reduced to beggary? |
150 | And in our State what other name besides that of citizens do the people give the rulers? |
150 | And in our opinion the guardians ought to have both these qualities? |
150 | And in such a case what is one to say? |
150 | And in that case they will be right in doing good to the evil and evil to the good? |
150 | And in that interval there has now been discovered something which we call opinion? |
150 | And in the first place, he will honour studies which impress these qualities on his soul and disregard others? |
150 | And in the laying of bricks and stones is the just man a more useful or better partner than the builder? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And inasmuch as they are two, each of them is one? |
150 | And is he likely to be brave who has no spirit, whether horse or dog or any other animal? |
150 | And is he not truly good? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And is not a State larger than an individual? |
150 | And is not a similar method to be pursued about the virtues, which are also four in number? |
150 | And is not life to be reckoned among the ends of the soul? |
150 | And is not that farthest from reason which is at the greatest distance from law and order? |
150 | And is not the love of learning the love of wisdom, which is philosophy? |
150 | And is not the unjust like the wise and good and the just unlike them? |
150 | And is not their humanity to the condemned in some cases quite charming? |
150 | And is not this involuntary deprivation caused either by theft, or force, or enchantment? |
150 | And is not this the reason why of old love has been called a tyrant? |
150 | And is opinion also a faculty? |
150 | And is our theory a worse theory because we are unable to prove the possibility of a city being ordered in the manner described? |
150 | And is the art of war one of those arts in which she can or can not share? |
150 | And is the city which is under a tyrant rich or poor? |
150 | And is the satisfaction derived from that which has less or from that which has more existence the truer? |
150 | And is there any greater or keener pleasure than that of sensual love? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And is there anything more akin to wisdom than truth? |
150 | And is this confined to the sight only, or does it extend to the hearing also, relating in fact to what we term poetry? |
150 | And it has this particular quality because it has an object of a particular kind; and this is true of the other arts and sciences? |
150 | And just actions cause justice, and unjust actions cause injustice? |
150 | And literature may be either true or false? |
150 | And living in this way we shall have much greater need of physicians than before? |
150 | And luxury and softness are blamed, because they relax and weaken this same creature, and make a coward of him? |
150 | And may not the many which are doubles be also halves?--doubles, that is, of one thing, and halves of another? |
150 | And may we not rightly call such men treacherous? |
150 | And may we not say of the philosopher that he is a lover, not of a part of wisdom only, but of the whole? |
150 | And may we not say the same of all things? |
150 | And may we not say, Adeimantus, that the most gifted minds, when they are ill- educated, become pre- eminently bad? |
150 | And men are blamed for pride and bad temper when the lion and serpent element in them disproportionately grows and gains strength? |
150 | And might a man be thirsty, and yet unwilling to drink? |
150 | And must not an animal be a lover of learning who determines what he likes and dislikes by the test of knowledge and ignorance? |
150 | And must not such a State and such a man be always full of fear? |
150 | And must not the like happen with the spirited or passionate element of the soul? |
150 | And must not the soul be perplexed at this intimation which the sense gives of a hard which is also soft? |
150 | And must not the tyrannical man be like the tyrannical, State, and the democratical man like the democratical State; and the same of the others? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And narration may be either simple narration, or imitation, or a union of the two? |
150 | And next, how does he live? |
150 | And next, shall we enquire whether the kindred science also concerns us? |
150 | And no good thing is hurtful? |
150 | And not- being is not one thing but, properly speaking, nothing? |
150 | 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? |
150 | And now what is their manner of life, and what sort of a government have they? |
150 | And now why do you not me? |
150 | And now, Adeimantus, is our State matured and perfected? |
150 | And of individuals who consort with the mob and seek to please them? |
150 | And of the objects which are being carried in like manner they would only see the shadows? |
150 | And of the pleasures of love, and all other pleasures, the same holds good? |
150 | And of the unjust may not the opposite be supposed? |
150 | And of truth in the same degree? |
150 | And once more, the inharmonious and unseemly nature can only tend to disproportion? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And one woman has a turn for gymnastic and military exercises, and another is unwarlike and hates gymnastics? |
150 | And one woman is a philosopher, and another is an enemy of philosophy; one has spirit, and another is without spirit? |
150 | And opinion is to have an opinion? |
150 | And ought not the same natures to have the same pursuits? |
150 | And our guardian is both warrior and philosopher? |
150 | And reasoning is peculiarly his instrument? |
150 | And shall I add,''whether seen or unseen by gods and men''? |
150 | And shall we proceed to get rid of the weepings and wailings of famous men? |
150 | And shall we receive into our State all the three styles, or one only of the two unmixed styles? |
150 | And should an immortal being seriously think of this little space rather than of the whole? |
150 | And should we not enquire what sort of knowledge has the power of effecting such a change? |
150 | And so of all the other things;--justice is useful when they are useless, and useless when they are useful? |
150 | And so of the other senses; do they give perfect intimations of such matters? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And so tyranny naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme form of liberty? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And suppose injustice abiding in a single person, would your wisdom say that she loses or that she retains her natural power? |
150 | And suppose we make astronomy the third-- what do you say? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And that human virtue is justice? |
150 | And that others should approve of what we approve, is no miracle or impossibility? |
150 | And that to which an end is appointed has also an excellence? |
150 | And that which hurts not does no evil? |
150 | And that which is not hurtful hurts not? |
150 | And that which is opposed to them is one of the inferior principles of the soul? |
150 | And the State which is enslaved under a tyrant is utterly incapable of acting voluntarily? |
150 | And the anticipations of future pleasures and pains are of a like nature? |
150 | And the avaricious, I said, is the oligarchical youth? |
150 | And the better part of the soul is likely to be that which trusts to measure and calculation? |
150 | And the citizens being thus agreed among themselves, in which class will temperance be found-- in the rulers or in the subjects? |
150 | And the country which was enough to support the original inhabitants will be too small now, and not enough? |
150 | And the ear has an end and an excellence also? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And the fairest is also the loveliest? |
150 | And the forbidding principle is derived from reason, and that which bids and attracts proceeds from passion and disease? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And the good is advantageous? |
150 | And the government is the ruling power in each state? |
150 | And the greater the interval which separates them from philosophy and reason, the more strange and illusive will be the pleasure? |
150 | And the greatest degree of evil- doing to one''s own city would be termed by you injustice? |
150 | And the harmonious soul is both temperate and courageous? |
150 | And the higher the duties of the guardian, I said, the more time, and skill, and art, and application will be needed by him? |
150 | And the individual will be acknowledged by us to be just in the same way in which the State is just? |
150 | And the inharmonious is cowardly and boorish? |
150 | And the insatiable desire of wealth and the neglect of all other things for the sake of money- getting was also the ruin of oligarchy? |
150 | And the interest of any art is the perfection of it-- this and nothing else? |
150 | And the just is the good? |
150 | And the kinds of knowledge in a State are many and diverse? |
150 | And the knowing is wise? |
150 | And the laws which they make must be obeyed by their subjects,--and that is what you call justice? |
150 | And the lover of honour-- what will be his opinion? |
150 | And the lustful and tyrannical desires are, as we saw, at the greatest distance? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And the melody and rhythm will depend upon the words? |
150 | And the more detestable his actions are to the citizens the more satellites and the greater devotion in them will he require? |
150 | And the much greater to the much less? |
150 | And the new government which thus arises will be of a form intermediate between oligarchy and aristocracy? |
150 | And the oligarch is third from the royal; since we count as one royal and aristocratical? |
150 | And the painter too is, as I conceive, just such another-- a creator of appearances, is he not? |
150 | And the persons whose property is taken from them are compelled to defend themselves before the people as they best can? |
150 | And the pilot likewise, in the strict sense of the term, is a ruler of sailors and not a mere sailor? |
150 | And the pilot-- that is to say, the true pilot-- is he a captain of sailors or a mere sailor? |
150 | And the possibility has been acknowledged? |
150 | And the power which the eye possesses is a sort of effluence which is dispensed from the sun? |
150 | And the reason is that each part of him is doing its own business, whether in ruling or being ruled? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And the reason why the good are useless has now been explained? |
150 | And the result will be that he becomes a worse potter? |
150 | And the royal and orderly desires are nearest? |
150 | And the same is true of all other things; they have each of them an end and a special excellence? |
150 | And the same observation will apply to all other things? |
150 | And the same of horses and animals in general? |
150 | And the sometime greater to the sometime less, and the greater that is to be to the less that is to be? |
150 | And the tragic poet is an imitator, and therefore, like all other imitators, he is thrice removed from the king and from the truth? |
150 | And the tyrannical soul must be always poor and insatiable? |
150 | And the unjust is good and wise, and the just is neither? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And the virtue which enters into this competition is justice? |
150 | And the wise is good? |
150 | And the work of the painter is a third? |
150 | And the worker in leather and brass will make them? |
150 | And the young should be trained in both kinds, and we begin with the false? |
150 | And then, although they may have no desire of change, the others charge them with plotting against the people and being friends of oligarchy? |
150 | And there are three kinds of pleasure, which are their several objects? |
150 | And there is a neutral state which is neither pleasure nor pain? |
150 | And therefore he will not sorrow for his departed friend as though he had suffered anything terrible? |
150 | And therefore philosophers must inevitably fall under the censure of the world? |
150 | And therefore the cause of well- being? |
150 | And therefore they are likely to do harm to our young men-- you would agree with me there? |
150 | And therefore to acknowledge that bad and good are the same? |
150 | And they appear to lead the mind towards truth? |
150 | And they will place them under the command of experienced veterans who will be their leaders and teachers? |
150 | And they will take them on the safe expeditions and be cautious about the dangerous ones? |
150 | And things great and small, heavy and light, as they are termed, will not be denoted by these any more than by the opposite names? |
150 | And this assimilation of himself to another, either by the use of voice or gesture, is the imitation of the person whose character he assumes? |
150 | And this is because injustice creates divisions and hatreds and fighting, and justice imparts harmony and friendship; is not that true, Thrasymachus? |
150 | And this is equally true of imitation; no one man can imitate many things as well as he would imitate a single one? |
150 | And this is what the arts of music and gymnastic, when present in such manner as we have described, will accomplish? |
150 | And those who govern ought not to be lovers of the task? |
150 | And to this end they ought to be wise and efficient, and to have a special care of the State? |
150 | And to which class do unity and number belong? |
150 | And was I not right, Adeimantus? |
150 | And we have admitted that justice is the excellence of the soul, and injustice the defect of the soul? |
150 | And we have admitted, I said, that the good of each art is specially confined to the art? |
150 | And what are these? |
150 | And what do the Muses say next? |
150 | And what do the rulers call one another in other States? |
150 | And what do the rulers call the people? |
150 | And what do they call them in other States? |
150 | And what do they receive of men? |
150 | And what do you say of lovers of wine? |
150 | And what do you say to his receiving the right hand of fellowship? |
150 | And what do you think of a second principle? |
150 | And what does the judge affirm to be the life which is next, and the pleasure which is next? |
150 | And what due or proper thing is given by cookery, and to what? |
150 | And what happens? |
150 | And what in ours? |
150 | And what is knowledge, and among whom is it found? |
150 | And what is that which justice gives, and to whom? |
150 | And what is the faculty in man to which imitation is addressed? |
150 | And what is the name which the city derives from the possession of this sort of knowledge? |
150 | And what is the next question? |
150 | And what is the organ with which we see the visible things? |
150 | And what is the prime of life? |
150 | And what is your view about them? |
150 | And what manner of government do you term oligarchy? |
150 | And what may that be? |
150 | And what of passion, or spirit? |
150 | And what of the ignorant? |
150 | And what of the maker of the bed? |
150 | And what shall be their education? |
150 | And what shall we say about men? |
150 | And what shall we say of the carpenter-- is not he also the maker of the bed? |
150 | And what similar use or power of acquisition has justice in time of peace? |
150 | And what then would you say? |
150 | And what would you say of the physician? |
150 | And when these fail? |
150 | And when they meet in private will not people be saying to one another''Our warriors are not good for much''? |
150 | And when truth is the captain, we can not suspect any evil of the band which he leads? |
150 | And when you see the same evils in the tyrannical man, what do you say of him? |
150 | And when you speak of music, do you include literature or not? |
150 | And when you want to buy a ship, the shipwright or the pilot would be better? |
150 | And where do you find them? |
150 | And where freedom is, the individual is clearly able to order for himself his own life as he pleases? |
150 | And which are the harmonies expressive of sorrow? |
150 | And which are the soft or drinking harmonies? |
150 | And which are these two sorts? |
150 | And which is wise and which is foolish? |
150 | And which method do I understand you to prefer? |
150 | And which sort of life, Glaucon, do you prefer? |
150 | And which, I said, of the gods in heaven would you say was the lord of this element? |
150 | And whichever of these qualities we find in the State, the one which is not found will be the residue? |
150 | And who are the devoted band, and where will he procure them? |
150 | And who is best able to do good to his friends and evil to his enemies in time of sickness? |
150 | And why, sillybillies, do you knock under to one another? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And will he then change himself for the better and fairer, or for the worse and more unsightly? |
150 | And will not a true astronomer have the same feeling when he looks at the movements of the stars? |
150 | And will not he who has been shown to be the wickedest, be also the most miserable? |
150 | And will not men who are injured be deteriorated in that which is the proper virtue of man? |
150 | And will not the bravest and wisest soul be least confused or deranged by any external influence? |
150 | And will not the city, which you are founding, be an Hellenic city? |
150 | And will not the words and the character of the style depend on the temper of the soul? |
150 | And will not their wives be the best women? |
150 | And will the habit of body of our ordinary athletes be suited to them? |
150 | And will the love of a lie be any part of a philosopher''s nature? |
150 | And will there be in our city more of these true guardians or more smiths? |
150 | And will they be a class which is rarely found? |
150 | And will they not be lovers of Hellas, and think of Hellas as their own land, and share in the common temples? |
150 | And will you be so very good as to answer one more question? |
150 | And will you have a work better done when the workman has many occupations, or when he has only one? |
150 | And with the hearing, I said, we hear, and with the other senses perceive the other objects of sense? |
150 | And would he try to go beyond just action? |
150 | And would not a really good education furnish the best safeguard? |
150 | And would you call justice vice? |
150 | And would you say that the soul of such an one is the soul of a freeman, or of a slave? |
150 | And yet not so well as with a pruning- hook made for the purpose? |
150 | And yet there is a sense in which the painter also creates a bed? |
150 | And yet you were acknowledging a little while ago that knowledge is not the same as opinion? |
150 | And yet, as you see, there are freemen as well as masters in such a State? |
150 | And you also said that the lust will not go beyond his like but his unlike? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And 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? |
150 | And you placed astronomy next, and then you made a step backward? |
150 | And you suppose that I ask these questions with any design of injuring you in the argument? |
150 | And you would say the same of the conception of the good? |
150 | And you would say the same sort of thing of the physician? |
150 | And, conversely, that which has less of truth will also have less of essence? |
150 | Any affinity to wantonness and intemperance? |
150 | Any more than heat can produce cold? |
150 | Any more than they can be rhapsodists and actors at once? |
150 | Are not necessary pleasures those of which we can not get rid, and of which the satisfaction is a benefit to us? |
150 | Are not the chief elements of temperance, speaking generally, obedience to commanders and self- control in sensual pleasures? |
150 | Are not the public who say these things the greatest of all Sophists? |
150 | Are not these functions proper to the soul, and can they rightly be assigned to any other? |
150 | Are you not aware, I said, that the soul of man is immortal and imperishable? |
150 | Are you satisfied then that the quality which makes such men and such states is justice, or do you hope to discover some other? |
150 | As being the same with knowledge, or another faculty? |
150 | As they are or as they appear? |
150 | At 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? |
150 | At what age? |
150 | BOOK 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? |
150 | Because I want to know in which of the three classes you would place justice? |
150 | Because it has a particular quality which no other has? |
150 | Beds, then, are of three kinds, and there are three artists who superintend them: God, the maker of the bed, and the painter? |
150 | Beginning with the State, I replied, would you say that a city which is governed by a tyrant is free or enslaved? |
150 | Being is the sphere or subject- matter of knowledge, and knowledge is to know the nature of being? |
150 | But again, will they tell us that such a nature, placed under favourable circumstances, will not be perfectly good and wise if any ever was? |
150 | But although the gods are themselves unchangeable, still by witchcraft and deception they may make us think that they appear in various forms? |
150 | But are not these spirited natures apt to be savage with one another, and with everybody else? |
150 | But are the rulers of states absolutely infallible, or are they sometimes liable to err? |
150 | But can any of these reasons apply to God? |
150 | But can that which is neither become both? |
150 | But can the musician by his art make men unmusical? |
150 | But can you persuade us, if we refuse to listen to you? |
150 | But can you tell me of any other suitable study? |
150 | But can you use different animals for the same purpose, unless they are bred and fed in the same way? |
150 | But did we not say, Thrasymachus, that the unjust goes beyond both his like and unlike? |
150 | But do you imagine that men who are unable to give and take a reason will have the knowledge which we require of them? |
150 | But do you know whom I think good? |
150 | But do you mean to say that this is not the opinion of the multitude? |
150 | But do you not admire, I said, the coolness and dexterity of these ready ministers of political corruption? |
150 | But do you observe the reason of this? |
150 | But do you see, he rejoined, how many we are? |
150 | But does he therefore confer no benefit when he works for nothing? |
150 | But does the painter know the right form of the bit and reins? |
150 | But have you remarked that sight is by far the most costly and complex piece of workmanship which the artificer of the senses ever contrived? |
150 | But he may have friends who are senseless or mad? |
150 | But he would claim to exceed the non- musician? |
150 | But he would wish to go beyond the non- physician? |
150 | But how is the image applicable to the disciples of philosophy? |
150 | But how will they draw out the plan of which you are speaking? |
150 | But how will they know who are fathers and daughters, and so on? |
150 | But if he were taken back again he would imagine, and truly imagine, that he was descending? |
150 | But if so, the tyrant will live most unpleasantly, and the king most pleasantly? |
150 | But if so, the unjust will be the enemy of the gods, and the just will be their friend? |
150 | But if they abstained from injuring one another, then they might act together better? |
150 | But 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? |
150 | But is not this unjust? |
150 | But is not war an art? |
150 | But is opinion to be sought without and beyond either of them, in a greater clearness than knowledge, or in a greater darkness than ignorance? |
150 | But is the just man or the skilful player a more useful and better partner at a game of draughts? |
150 | But is there not another name which people give to their rulers in other States? |
150 | But is this equally true of the greatness and smallness of the fingers? |
150 | But let me ask you another question: Has excess of pleasure any affinity to temperance? |
150 | But may he not change and transform himself? |
150 | But next, what shall we say of their food; for the men are in training for the great contest of all-- are they not? |
150 | But ought the just to injure any one at all? |
150 | But ought we to attempt to construct one? |
150 | But shall we be right in getting rid of them? |
150 | But suppose that he were to retort,''Thrasymachus, what do you mean? |
150 | But surely God and the things of God are in every way perfect? |
150 | But surely, Thrasymachus, the arts are the superiors and rulers of their own subjects? |
150 | But that which is neither was just now shown to be rest and not motion, and in a mean between them? |
150 | But the condiments are only necessary in so far as they are good for health? |
150 | But the good are just and would not do an injustice? |
150 | But the hero who has distinguished himself, what shall be done to him? |
150 | But 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? |
150 | But those who see the absolute and eternal and immutable may be said to know, and not to have opinion only? |
150 | But to whom we are to assign these studies, and in what way they are to be assigned, are questions which remain to be considered? |
150 | But we should like to ask him a question: Does he who has knowledge know something or nothing? |
150 | But 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? |
150 | But 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? |
150 | But what do you mean by the highest of all knowledge? |
150 | But what do you say of music, which also entered to a certain extent into our former scheme? |
150 | But what do you say to flute- makers and flute- players? |
150 | But what if I give you an answer about justice other and better, he said, than any of these? |
150 | But what if there are no gods? |
150 | But what is the next step? |
150 | But what ought to be their course? |
150 | But what would you have, Glaucon? |
150 | But when a man is well, my dear Polemarchus, there is no need of a physician? |
150 | But when is this fault committed? |
150 | But when they are directed towards objects on which the sun shines, they see clearly and there is sight in them? |
150 | But where are the two? |
150 | But where, amid all this, is justice? |
150 | But which stories do you mean, he said; and what fault do you find with them? |
150 | But why do you ask? |
150 | But why do you ask? |
150 | But why should we dispute about names when we have realities of such importance to consider? |
150 | But will he have no sorrow, or shall we say that although he can not help sorrowing, he will moderate his sorrow? |
150 | But will he not desire to get them on the spot? |
150 | But will the imitator have either? |
150 | But will you let me assume, without reciting them, that these things are true? |
150 | But would any of your guardians think or speak of any other guardian as a stranger? |
150 | But would you call the painter a creator and maker? |
150 | But you can cut off a vine- branch with a dagger or with a chisel, and in many other ways? |
150 | But you see that without the addition of some other nature there is no seeing or being seen? |
150 | But, if Homer never did any public service, was he privately a guide or teacher of any? |
150 | By heaven, would not such an one be a rare educator? |
150 | Can a man help imitating that with which he holds reverential converse? |
150 | Can any man be courageous who has the fear of death in him? |
150 | Can any other origin of a State be imagined? |
150 | Can he have an opinion which is an opinion about nothing? |
150 | Can sight adequately perceive them? |
150 | Can the same nature be a lover of wisdom and a lover of falsehood? |
150 | Can there be any greater evil than discord and distraction and plurality where unity ought to reign? |
150 | Can they have a better place than between being and not- being? |
150 | Can we any longer doubt, then, that the miser and money- maker answers to the oligarchical State? |
150 | Can we deny that a warrior should have a knowledge of arithmetic? |
150 | Can we suppose that he is ignorant of antiquity, and therefore has recourse to invention? |
150 | Can you tell me what imitation is? |
150 | Can you tell me whence I derive this inference? |
150 | Capital, 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? |
150 | Certainly, the same principle holds; but why does this involve any particular skill? |
150 | Deteriorated, that is to say, in the good qualities of horses, not of dogs? |
150 | Did this never strike you as curious? |
150 | Did you ever hear any of them which were not? |
150 | Did you hear all the advantages of the unjust which Thrasymachus was rehearsing? |
150 | Did you never hear it? |
150 | Did you never observe in the arts how the potters''boys look on and help, long before they touch the wheel? |
150 | Do I take you with me? |
150 | Do they by attaching to the soul and inhering in her at last bring her to death, and so separate her from the body? |
150 | Do we admit the existence of opinion? |
150 | Do you agree? |
150 | Do you know of any other? |
150 | Do you know where you will have to look if you want to discover his rogueries? |
150 | Do 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? |
150 | Do 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? |
150 | Do you mean, for example, that he who is mistaken about the sick is a physician in that he is mistaken? |
150 | Do you not know that all this is but the prelude to the actual strain which we have to learn? |
150 | Do you not know, I said, that the true lie, if such an expression may be allowed, is hated of gods and men? |
150 | Do you not remark, I said, how great is the evil which dialectic has introduced? |
150 | Do you not see them doing the same? |
150 | Do you observe that we were not far wrong in our guess that temperance was a sort of harmony? |
150 | Do you remember? |
150 | Do you see that there is a way in which you could make them all yourself? |
150 | Do you suppose that I call him who is mistaken the stronger at the time when he is mistaken? |
150 | Do you think it right that Hellenes should enslave Hellenic States, or allow others to enslave them, if they can help? |
150 | Do you think that the possession of all other things is of any value if we do not possess the good? |
150 | Do you think that there is anything so very unnatural or inexcusable in their case? |
150 | Do you understand me? |
150 | Does he not call the other pleasures necessary, under the idea that if there were no necessity for them, he would rather not have them? |
150 | Does not like always attract like? |
150 | Does not the practice of despoiling an enemy afford an excuse for not facing the battle? |
150 | Does not the timocratical man change into the oligarchical on this wise? |
150 | Does that look well? |
150 | Does the injustice or other evil which exists in the soul waste and consume her? |
150 | Does the just man try to gain any advantage over the just? |
150 | Each of them, I said, is such as his like is? |
150 | Except a city?--or would you include a city? |
150 | First of all, in regard to slavery? |
150 | First you began with a geometry of plane surfaces? |
150 | First, then, they resemble one another in the value which they set upon wealth? |
150 | For example, I said, can the same thing be at rest and in motion at the same time in the same part? |
150 | For what purpose do you conceive that we have come here, said Thrasymachus,--to look for gold, or to hear discourse? |
150 | For which the art has to consider and provide? |
150 | For you surely would not regard the skilled mathematician as a dialectician? |
150 | Further, I said, has not a drunken man also the spirit of a tyrant? |
150 | Further, the very faculty which is the instrument of judgment is not possessed by the covetous or ambitious man, but only by the philosopher? |
150 | Further, there can be no doubt that a work is spoilt when not done at the right time? |
150 | God forbid, I replied; but may I ask you to consider the image in another point of view? |
150 | Good, I said; then you call him who is third in the descent from nature an imitator? |
150 | Has he not, I said, an occupation; and what profit would there be in his life if he were deprived of his occupation? |
150 | Has not that been admitted? |
150 | Has not the intemperate been censured of old, because in him the huge multiform monster is allowed to be too much at large? |
150 | Have I clearly explained the class which I mean? |
150 | Have we not here a picture of his way of life? |
150 | Having effected this, they will proceed to trace an outline of the constitution? |
150 | He can hardly avoid saying yes-- can he now? |
150 | He looked at me in astonishment, and said: No, by heaven: And are you really prepared to maintain this? |
150 | He mentioned that he was present when one of the spirits asked another,''Where is Ardiaeus the Great?'' |
150 | He said: Who then are the true philosophers? |
150 | He who has an opinion has an opinion about some one thing? |
150 | He will grow more and more indolent and careless? |
150 | His experience, then, will enable him to judge better than any one? |
150 | How can that be? |
150 | How can that be? |
150 | How can there be? |
150 | How can they, he said, if they are blind and can not see? |
150 | How can they, he said, when they are not allowed to apply their minds to the callings of any of these? |
150 | How can we? |
150 | How cast off? |
150 | How do they act? |
150 | How do you distinguish them? |
150 | How do you mean? |
150 | How do you mean? |
150 | How do you mean? |
150 | How do you mean? |
150 | How do you mean? |
150 | How do you mean? |
150 | How do you mean? |
150 | How do you mean? |
150 | How do you mean? |
150 | How many? |
150 | How so? |
150 | How so? |
150 | How so? |
150 | How so? |
150 | How so? |
150 | How so? |
150 | How so? |
150 | How so? |
150 | How so? |
150 | How so? |
150 | How then does a protector begin to change into a tyrant? |
150 | How was that? |
150 | How 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? |
150 | How will they proceed? |
150 | How would they address us? |
150 | How, then, can we be right in supposing that the absence of pain is pleasure, or that the absence of pleasure is pain? |
150 | How? |
150 | How? |
150 | How? |
150 | How? |
150 | How? |
150 | I am sure that I should be contented-- will not you? |
150 | I assume, I said, that the tyrant is in the third place from the oligarch; the democrat was in the middle? |
150 | I dare say, Glaucon, that you are as much charmed by her as I am, especially when she appears in Homer? |
150 | I do not know, do you? |
150 | I might say the same of the ears; when deprived of their own proper excellence they can not fulfil their end? |
150 | I presume then that you are going to make one of the interdicted answers? |
150 | I 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? |
150 | I repeated, Why am I especially not to be let off? |
150 | I 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? |
150 | I said; how shall we find a gentle nature which has also a great spirit, for the one is the contradiction of the other? |
150 | I said; the prelude or what? |
150 | I should like to know whether you have the same notion which I have of this study? |
150 | I suppose that you would call justice virtue and injustice vice? |
150 | I want to know whether ideals are ever fully realised in language? |
150 | I will explain: The body which is large when seen near, appears small when seen at a distance? |
150 | I will proceed by asking a question: Would you not say that a horse has some end? |
150 | I will; and first tell me, Do you admit that it is just or subjects to obey their rulers? |
150 | If wealth and gain were the criterion, then the praise or blame of the lover of gain would surely be the most trustworthy? |
150 | Imitation 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? |
150 | In prescribing meats and drinks would he wish to go beyond another physician or beyond the practice of medicine? |
150 | In 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? |
150 | In the next place our youth must be temperate? |
150 | In these cases a man is not compelled to ask of thought the question, what is a finger? |
150 | In what manner? |
150 | In what manner? |
150 | In what particulars? |
150 | In what point of view? |
150 | In what respect do you mean? |
150 | In what respect? |
150 | In what respects? |
150 | In what way make allowance? |
150 | In what way shown? |
150 | In 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? |
150 | In what way? |
150 | Indeed, Thrasymachus, and do I really appear to you to argue like an informer? |
150 | Is any better than experience and wisdom and reason? |
150 | Is he not a true image of the State which he represents? |
150 | Is it a third, or akin to one of the preceding? |
150 | Is 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? |
150 | Is not Polemarchus your heir? |
150 | Is not his case utterly miserable? |
150 | Is not that still more disgraceful? |
150 | Is not that true, Thrasymachus? |
150 | Is 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? |
150 | Is 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?'' |
150 | Is not the noble youth very like a well- bred dog in respect of guarding and watching? |
150 | Is not this the case? |
150 | Is not this the way-- he is the son of the miserly and oligarchical father who has trained him in his own habits? |
150 | Is not this true? |
150 | Is not this unavoidable? |
150 | Is not to have lost the truth an evil, and to possess the truth a good? |
150 | Is that true? |
150 | Is there any State in which you will find more of lamentation and sorrow and groaning and pain? |
150 | Is there any city which he might name? |
150 | Is there anything more? |
150 | Is 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? |
150 | It follows therefore that the good is not the cause of all things, but of the good only? |
150 | It may also be called temperate, and for the same reasons? |
150 | Italy and Sicily boast of Charondas, and there is Solon who is renowned among us; but what city has anything to say about you?'' |
150 | Justice and health of mind will be of the company, and temperance will follow after? |
150 | Labouring in vain, he must end in hating himself and his fruitless occupation? |
150 | Last comes the lover of gain? |
150 | Let me ask you a question: Are not the several arts different, by reason of their each having a separate function? |
150 | Let me explain: Can you see, except with the eye? |
150 | Let us take any common instance; there are beds and tables in the world-- plenty of them, are there not? |
150 | Like husbandry for the acquisition of corn? |
150 | Like 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? |
150 | Look at the matter thus:--Hunger, thirst, and the like, are inanitions of the bodily state? |
150 | May I ask, Cephalus, whether your fortune was for the most part inherited or acquired by you? |
150 | May I have the pleasure, he said, of hearing your opinion? |
150 | May I suppose that you have this distinction of the visible and intelligible fixed in your mind? |
150 | May it not be defined as a period of about twenty years in a woman''s life, and thirty in a man''s? |
150 | May not the relation of sight to this deity be described as follows? |
150 | May there not be the alternative, I said, that we may persuade you to let us go? |
150 | May we not be satisfied with that? |
150 | May we not say that these desires spend, and that the others make money because they conduce to production? |
150 | May we not say that this is the end of a pruning- hook? |
150 | May we say so, then? |
150 | Must he not either perish at the hands of his enemies, or from being a man become a wolf-- that is, a tyrant? |
150 | Must we not ask who are to be rulers and who subjects? |
150 | Must 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? |
150 | My 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? |
150 | Need I ask again whether the eye has an end? |
150 | Neither may they imitate smiths or other artificers, or oarsmen, or boatswains, or the like? |
150 | Neither must they represent slaves, male or female, performing the offices of slaves? |
150 | Neither sight nor the eye in which sight resides is the sun? |
150 | Neither will he ever break faith where there have been oaths or agreements? |
150 | Neither would you approve of the delicacies, as they are thought, of Athenian confectionery? |
150 | Neither, I said, can there be any question that the guardian who is to keep anything should have eyes rather than no eyes? |
150 | Next as to the slain; ought the conquerors, I said, to take anything but their armour? |
150 | Next, as to war; what are to be the relations of your soldiers to one another and to their enemies? |
150 | Next, how shall our soldiers treat their enemies? |
150 | Next, 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? |
150 | No one will be less likely to commit adultery, or to dishonour his father and mother, or to fall in his religious duties? |
150 | No, 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? |
150 | Nor by reason of a knowledge which advises about brazen pots, I said, nor as possessing any other similar knowledge? |
150 | Nor can the good harm any one? |
150 | Nor 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? |
150 | Nor would you say that medicine is the art of receiving pay because a man takes fees when he is engaged in healing? |
150 | Nor yet by reason of a knowledge which cultivates the earth; that would give the city the name of agricultural? |
150 | Nor, if a man is to be in condition, would you allow him to have a Corinthian girl as his fair friend? |
150 | Not to mention the importers and exporters, who are called merchants? |
150 | Now are we to maintain that all these and any who have similar tastes, as well as the professors of quite minor arts, are philosophers? |
150 | 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? |
150 | Now in vessels which are in a state of mutiny and by sailors who are mutineers, how will the true pilot be regarded? |
150 | Now what man answers to this form of government- how did he come into being, and what is he like? |
150 | Now what opinion of any other Sophist, or of any private person, can be expected to overcome in such an unequal contest? |
150 | Now you understand me? |
150 | Now, I beseech you, do tell me, have you ever attended to their pairing and breeding? |
150 | Now, I said, every art has an interest? |
150 | Now, are not the best husbandmen those who are most devoted to husbandry? |
150 | Now, can we find justice without troubling ourselves about temperance? |
150 | Now, in such a State, can liberty have any limit? |
150 | O my friend, is not that so? |
150 | Of course you know that ambition and avarice are held to be, as indeed they are, a disgrace? |
150 | Of not- being, ignorance was assumed to be the necessary correlative; of being, knowledge? |
150 | Of the painter we say that he will paint reins, and he will paint a bit? |
150 | Of the three individuals, which has the greatest experience of all the pleasures which we enumerated? |
150 | Of what kind? |
150 | Of what nature are you speaking? |
150 | Of what nature? |
150 | Of what sort? |
150 | Of what tales are you speaking? |
150 | On what principle, then, shall we any longer choose justice rather than the worst injustice? |
150 | Once more let me ask: Does he who desires any class of goods, desire the whole class or a part only? |
150 | Once more then, O my friend, we have alighted upon an easy question-- whether the soul has these three principles or not? |
150 | One of them is ready to follow the guidance of the law? |
150 | One principle prevails in the souls of one class of men, another in others, as may happen? |
150 | One woman has a gift of healing, another not; one is a musician, and another has no music in her nature? |
150 | Or any affinity to virtue in general? |
150 | Or because a man is in good health when he receives pay you would not say that the art of payment is medicine? |
150 | Or can such an one account death fearful? |
150 | Or 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? |
150 | Or drought moisture? |
150 | Or have the arts to look only after their own interests? |
150 | Or hear, except with the ear? |
150 | Or if honour or victory or courage, in that case the judgement of the ambitious or pugnacious would be the truest? |
150 | Or like shoemaking for the acquisition of shoes,--that is what you mean? |
150 | Or perhaps he may tell a lie because he is afraid of enemies? |
150 | Or shall I guess for you? |
150 | Or that his nature, being such as we have delineated, is akin to the highest good? |
150 | Or the horseman by his art make them bad horsemen? |
150 | Or the verse The saddest of fates is to die and meet destiny from hunger? |
150 | Or when they are on a voyage, amid the perils of the sea? |
150 | Or will he have right opinion from being compelled to associate with another who knows and gives him instructions about what he should draw? |
150 | Or will they prefer those whom we have rejected? |
150 | Or, 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? |
150 | Or, if the master would not stay, then the disciples would have followed him about everywhere, until they had got education enough? |
150 | Ought I not to begin by describing how the change from timocracy to oligarchy arises? |
150 | Our State like every other has rulers and subjects? |
150 | Parents and tutors are always telling their sons and their wards that they are to be just; but why? |
150 | Reflect: is not the dreamer, sleeping or waking, one who likens dissimilar things, who puts the copy in the place of the real object? |
150 | Reflect: when a man has an opinion, has he not an opinion about something? |
150 | Reflecting upon these and similar evils, you held the tyrannical State to be the most miserable of States? |
150 | SOCRATES- GLAUCON What do you mean, Socrates? |
150 | SOCRATES- POLEMARCHUS Tell me then, O thou heir of the argument, what did Simonides say, and according to you truly say, about justice? |
150 | Salvation of what? |
150 | Say, then, is not pleasure opposed to pain? |
150 | Shall I assume that we ourselves are able and experienced judges and have before now met with such a person? |
150 | Shall I give you an illustration of them? |
150 | Shall I give you an illustration? |
150 | Shall I tell you whose I believe the saying to be? |
150 | Shall I tell you why? |
150 | Shall 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? |
150 | Shall we begin education with music, and go on to gymnastic afterwards? |
150 | Shall we not? |
150 | Shall we, after the manner of Homer, pray the Muses to tell us''how discord first arose''? |
150 | Shall we, then, speak of Him as the natural author or maker of the bed? |
150 | Should 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? |
150 | Socrates, has taken possession of you all? |
150 | Socrates, what do you mean? |
150 | Socrates; do you want to know how much I acquired? |
150 | Something that is or is not? |
150 | Something that is; for how can that which is not ever be known? |
150 | Still, I should like to ascertain how astronomy can be learned in any manner more conducive to that knowledge of which we are speaking? |
150 | Still, the dangers of war can not be always foreseen; there is a good deal of chance about them? |
150 | Such is the tale; is there any possibility of making our citizens believe in it? |
150 | Such will be the change, and after the change has been made, how will they proceed? |
150 | Such, then, are the palms of victory which the gods give the just? |
150 | Suppose now that by the light of the examples just offered we enquire who this imitator is? |
150 | Suppose we call it the contentious or ambitious-- would the term be suitable? |
150 | Suppose we select an example of either kind, in order that we may have a general notion of them? |
150 | Tell me, Thrasymachus, I said, did you mean by justice what the stronger thought to be his interest, whether really so or not? |
150 | 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? |
150 | That is also good, he said; but I should like to know what you mean? |
150 | That is his meaning then? |
150 | That is quite true, he said; but to what are you alluding? |
150 | That is to say, justice is useful when money is useless? |
150 | That since beauty is the opposite of ugliness, they are two? |
150 | That there are three arts which are concerned with all things: one which uses, another which makes, a third which imitates them? |
150 | That will be the way? |
150 | The State which we have been describing is said to be wise as being good in counsel? |
150 | The existence of such persons is to be attributed to want of education, ill- training, and an evil constitution of the State? |
150 | The good which oligarchy proposed to itself and the means by which it was maintained was excess of wealth-- am I not right? |
150 | The imitative artist will be in a brilliant state of intelligence about his own creations? |
150 | The just man then, if we regard the idea of justice only, will be like the just State? |
150 | The object of one is food, and of the other drink? |
150 | The one loves and embraces the subjects of knowledge, the other those of opinion? |
150 | The pleasure of eating is necessary in two ways; it does us good and it is essential to the continuance of life? |
150 | The process is as follows: When a potter becomes rich, will he, think you, any longer take the same pains with his art? |
150 | The ruler may impose the laws and institutions which we have been describing, and the citizens may possibly be willing to obey them? |
150 | The soul, I said, being, as is now proven, immortal, must be the fairest of compositions and can not be compounded of many elements? |
150 | The true lie is hated not only by the gods, but also by men? |
150 | The true lover of learning then must from his earliest youth, as far as in him lies, desire all truth? |
150 | The very great benefit has next to be established? |
150 | The whole period of threescore years and ten is surely but a little thing in comparison with eternity? |
150 | Their pleasures are mixed with pains-- how can they be otherwise? |
150 | Then I may infer courage to be such as you describe? |
150 | Then I suppose that opinion appears to you to be darker than knowledge, but lighter than ignorance? |
150 | Then I suppose that we ought to do good to the just and harm to the unjust? |
150 | Then a city is not to be called wise because possessing a knowledge which counsels for the best about wooden implements? |
150 | Then a soul which forgets can not be ranked among genuine philosophic natures; we must insist that the philosopher should have a good memory? |
150 | Then according to your argument it is just to injure those who do no wrong? |
150 | Then an evil soul must necessarily be an evil ruler and superintendent, and the good soul a good ruler? |
150 | Then are we to impose all our enactments on men and none of them on women? |
150 | Then carpenters, and smiths, and many other artisans, will be sharers in our little State, which is already beginning to grow? |
150 | Then clearly the next thing will be to make matrimony sacred in the highest degree, and what is most beneficial will be deemed sacred? |
150 | Then comparing our original city, which was under a king, and the city which is under a tyrant, how do they stand as to virtue? |
150 | Then everything which is good, whether made by art or nature, or both, is least liable to suffer change from without? |
150 | Then he can hardly be compelled by external influence to take many shapes? |
150 | Then he who is a good keeper of anything is also a good thief? |
150 | Then 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? |
150 | Then he will no more have true opinion than he will have knowledge about the goodness or badness of his imitations? |
150 | Then hirelings will help to make up our population? |
150 | Then how can he who has magnificence of mind and is the spectator of all time and all existence, think much of human life? |
150 | Then if being is the subject- matter of knowledge, something else must be the subject- matter of opinion? |
150 | Then if geometry compels us to view being, it concerns us; if becoming only, it does not concern us? |
150 | Then if the constitutions of States are five, the dispositions of individual minds will also be five? |
150 | Then if the man is like the State, I said, must not the same rule prevail? |
150 | Then 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? |
150 | Then in every way the laws will help the citizens to keep the peace with one another? |
150 | Then in making their laws they may sometimes make them rightly, and sometimes not? |
150 | Then in this case the narrative of the poet may be said to proceed by way of imitation? |
150 | Then in this kind of State there will be the greatest variety of human natures? |
150 | Then in time of peace justice will be of no use? |
150 | Then it will be our duty to select, if we can, natures which are fitted for the task of guarding the city? |
150 | Then justice, according to your argument, is not only obedience to the interest of the stronger but the reverse? |
150 | Then knowledge and opinion having distinct powers have also distinct spheres or subject- matters? |
150 | Then medicine does not consider the interest of medicine, but the interest of the body? |
150 | Then men who are injured are of necessity made unjust? |
150 | Then more husbandmen and more artisans will be required? |
150 | Then must not a further admission be made? |
150 | Then no intemperance or madness should be allowed to approach true love? |
150 | Then no motive can be imagined why God should lie? |
150 | Then on this view also justice will be admitted to be the having and doing what is a man''s own, and belongs to him? |
150 | Then opinion and knowledge have to do with different kinds of matter corresponding to this difference of faculties? |
150 | Then opinion is not concerned either with being or with not- being? |
150 | Then 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? |
150 | Then shall we propose this as a second branch of knowledge which our youth will study? |
150 | Then shall we try to find some way of convincing him, if we can, that he is saying what is not true? |
150 | Then that is not the knowledge which we are seeking to discover? |
150 | 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? |
150 | Then the art of war partakes of them? |
150 | Then the community of wives and children among our citizens is clearly the source of the greatest good to the State? |
150 | Then the cowardly and mean nature has no part in true philosophy? |
150 | Then the intermediate state of rest will be pleasure and will also be pain? |
150 | Then the just is happy, and the unjust miserable? |
150 | Then the just is like the wise and good, and the unjust like the evil and ignorant? |
150 | Then the just soul and the just man will live well, and the unjust man will live ill? |
150 | Then the lover of wisdom has a great advantage over the lover of gain, for he has a double experience? |
150 | Then the lying poet has no place in our idea of God? |
150 | Then 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? |
150 | Then the superhuman and divine is absolutely incapable of falsehood? |
150 | Then the tyrant is removed from true pleasure by the space of a number which is three times three? |
150 | Then the tyrant will live at the greatest distance from true or natural pleasure, and the king at the least? |
150 | Then the wise and good will not desire to gain more than his like, but more than his unlike and opposite? |
150 | Then the world can not possibly be a philosopher? |
150 | Then there is nothing impossible or out of the order of nature in our finding a guardian who has a similar combination of qualities? |
150 | Then there must be another class of citizens who will bring the required supply from another city? |
150 | Then they will quarrel as those who intend some day to be reconciled? |
150 | Then this is the progress which you call dialectic? |
150 | Then this new kind of knowledge must have an additional quality? |
150 | Then to injure a friend or any one else is not the act of a just man, but of the opposite, who is the unjust? |
150 | Then to them the good will be enemies and the evil will be their friends? |
150 | Then virtue is the health and beauty and well- being of the soul, and vice the disease and weakness and deformity of the same? |
150 | Then we have found the desired natures; and now that we have found them, how are they to be reared and educated? |
150 | Then we have made an enactment not only possible but in the highest degree beneficial to the State? |
150 | Then we have now, I said, the second form of government and the second type of character? |
150 | Then we may assume that our athletes will be able to fight with two or three times their own number? |
150 | Then we may begin by assuming that there are three classes of men-- lovers of wisdom, lovers of honour, lovers of gain? |
150 | Then we must abstain from spoiling the dead or hindering their burial? |
150 | Then we shall want merchants? |
150 | Then what is that joint use of silver or gold in which the just man is to be preferred? |
150 | Then what is your meaning? |
150 | Then what will you do with them? |
150 | Then when the person who asks me is not in his right mind I am by no means to make the return? |
150 | Then who is more miserable? |
150 | Then why should you mind? |
150 | Then will not the citizens be good and civilized? |
150 | Then women must be taught music and gymnastic and also the art of war, which they must practise like the men? |
150 | Then would you call injustice malignity? |
150 | Then you never heard of the saying of Phocylides, that as soon as a man has a livelihood he should practise virtue? |
150 | Then 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? |
150 | Then you would infer that opinion is intermediate? |
150 | Then you would not approve of Syracusan dinners, and the refinements of Sicilian cookery? |
150 | Then, 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? |
150 | Then, 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? |
150 | Then, I said, our guardians must lay the foundations of their fortress in music? |
150 | Then, again, within the city, how will they exchange their productions? |
150 | Then, do you see any way in which the philosopher can be preserved in his calling to the end? |
150 | Then, 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? |
150 | Then, if women are to have the same duties as men, they must have the same nurture and education? |
150 | Then, under the influence either of poverty or of wealth, workmen and their work are equally liable to degenerate? |
150 | There is a thing which you call good and another which you call evil? |
150 | There is another which is the work of the carpenter? |
150 | There 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? |
150 | There were two parts in our former scheme of education, were there not? |
150 | There 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? |
150 | These then may be truly said to be the ends of these organs? |
150 | These, then, are the two kinds of style? |
150 | They are like faces which were never really beautiful, but only blooming; and now the bloom of youth has passed away from them? |
150 | They have in view practice only, and are always speaking? |
150 | They will use friendly correction, but will not enslave or destroy their opponents; they will be correctors, not enemies? |
150 | This, I said, is he who begins to make a party against the rich? |
150 | This, then, will be the first great defect of oligarchy? |
150 | Thus much of music, which makes a fair ending; for what should be the end of music if not the love of beauty? |
150 | To be sure, he said; how can he think otherwise? |
150 | To what do you refer? |
150 | To what do you refer? |
150 | True, I said; but would you never allow them to run any risk? |
150 | True, he replied; but what of that? |
150 | True, he said; how could they see anything but the shadows if they were never allowed to move their heads? |
150 | Undoubtedly; and yet if music and gymnastic are excluded, and the arts are also excluded, what remains? |
150 | Until some one rare and grand result is reached which may be good, and may be the reverse of good? |
150 | Very good, I said; then what is the next question? |
150 | Very 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? |
150 | Very true, Adeimantus; but then, would any one, whether God or man, desire to make himself worse? |
150 | Very true, I said; that is what I have to do: But will you be so good as answer yet one more question? |
150 | Very true, he said; but what are these forms of theology which you mean? |
150 | Very true, said Adeimantus; but how does the illustration apply to our enquiry? |
150 | Was not the selection of the male guardians determined by differences of this sort? |
150 | Was not this the beginning of the enquiry''What is great?'' |
150 | We acknowledged-- did we not? |
150 | We are not wrong therefore in calling them necessary? |
150 | We can not but remember that the justice of the State consisted in each of the three classes doing the work of its own class? |
150 | We had to consider, first, whether our proposals were possible, and secondly whether they were the most beneficial? |
150 | We 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? |
150 | We were saying that the parents should be in the prime of life? |
150 | We were saying, when we spoke of the subject- matter, that we had no need of lamentations and strains of sorrow? |
150 | 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? |
150 | Well 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? |
150 | Well then, is not- being the subject- matter of opinion? |
150 | Well, I said, and how does the change from oligarchy into democracy arise? |
150 | Well, I said, and in oligarchical States do you not find paupers? |
150 | Well, I said, and is there no evil which corrupts the soul? |
150 | Well, I said, and you would agree( would you not?) |
150 | Well, 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? |
150 | Well, and are these of any military use? |
150 | Well, and can the eyes fulfil their end if they are wanting in their own proper excellence and have a defect instead? |
150 | Well, and do you think that those who say so are wrong? |
150 | Well, and is not this one quality, to mention no others, greatly at variance with present notions of him? |
150 | Well, and were we not creating an ideal of a perfect State? |
150 | Well, and your guardian must be brave if he is to fight well? |
150 | Well, but can you imagine that God will be willing to lie, whether in word or deed, or to put forth a phantom of himself? |
150 | Well, but has any one a right to say positively what he does not know? |
150 | Well, 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? |
150 | Well, but is there any war on record which was carried on successfully by him, or aided by his counsels, when he was alive? |
150 | Well, but what ought to be the criterion? |
150 | Well, he said, have you never heard that forms of government differ; there are tyrannies, and there are democracies, and there are aristocracies? |
150 | Well, there is another question: By friends and enemies do we mean those who are so really, or only in seeming? |
150 | Well, you know of course that the greater is relative to the less? |
150 | Well; and has not the soul an end which nothing else can fulfil? |
150 | Were not these your words? |
150 | Were 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? |
150 | What about this? |
150 | What admission? |
150 | What admissions? |
150 | What are these corruptions? |
150 | What are they, he said, and where shall I find them? |
150 | What are they? |
150 | What are they? |
150 | What are they? |
150 | What are you going to say? |
150 | What causes? |
150 | What defect? |
150 | What did I borrow? |
150 | What division? |
150 | What do they say? |
150 | What do you consider to be the greatest blessing which you have reaped from your wealth? |
150 | What do you deserve to have done to you? |
150 | What do you mean? |
150 | What do you mean? |
150 | What do you mean? |
150 | What do you mean? |

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

1497 | What limit would you propose? |
1497 | What makes you say that? |
1497 | What may that be? |
1497 | What may that be? |
1497 | What may that be? |
1497 | What 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? |
1497 | What point of view? |
1497 | What point? |
1497 | What point? |
1497 | What principle of rival Sophists or anybody else can overcome in such an unequal contest? |
1497 | What quality? |
1497 | What quality? |
1497 | What question? |
1497 | What shall he profit, if his injustice be undetected and unpunished? |
1497 | What shall we say to him? |
1497 | What should they fear? |
1497 | What sort of instances do you mean? |
1497 | What sort of knowledge is there which would draw the soul from becoming to being? |
1497 | What sort of lie? |
1497 | What sort of mischief? |
1497 | What study do you mean-- of the prelude, or what? |
1497 | What tale? |
1497 | What the poets and story- tellers say-- that the wicked prosper and the righteous are afflicted, or that justice is another''s gain? |
1497 | What then is the real object of them? |
1497 | What then? |
1497 | What trait? |
1497 | What was the error, Polemarchus? |
1497 | What was the mistake? |
1497 | What was the omission? |
1497 | What way? |
1497 | What will be the issue of such marriages? |
1497 | What will be the issue of such marriages? |
1497 | What will they doubt? |
1497 | What, Thrasymachus, is the meaning of this? |
1497 | What, again, is the meaning of light and heavy, if that which is light is also heavy, and that which is heavy, light? |
1497 | What, are there any greater still? |
1497 | What, he said, is there a knowledge still higher than this-- higher than justice and the other virtues? |
1497 | What, now, I said, if he were able to run away and then turn and strike at the one who first came up? |
1497 | What, then, he said, is still remaining to us of the work of legislation? |
1497 | What, then, is the nature of dialectic, and what are the paths which lead thither?'' |
1497 | What? |
1497 | What? |
1497 | When Simonides said that the repayment of a debt was justice, he did not mean to include that case? |
1497 | When 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? |
1497 | When 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? |
1497 | When horses are injured, are they improved or deteriorated? |
1497 | When is this accomplished? |
1497 | When 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? |
1497 | When they make them rightly, they make them agreeably to their interest; when they are mistaken, contrary to their interest; you admit that? |
1497 | Where must I look? |
1497 | Where then is he to gain experience? |
1497 | Where then? |
1497 | Where, then, is justice, and where is injustice, and in what part of the State did they spring up? |
1497 | Whereas 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? |
1497 | Whereas the bad and ignorant will desire to gain more than both? |
1497 | Whereas the physician and the carpenter have different natures? |
1497 | Whereas true love is a love of beauty and order-- temperate and harmonious? |
1497 | Which appetites do you mean? |
1497 | Which are they? |
1497 | Which is a just principle? |
1497 | Which of us has spoken truly? |
1497 | Which years do you mean to include? |
1497 | Who better suited to raise the question of justice than Cephalus, whose life might seem to be the expression of it? |
1497 | Who 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? |
1497 | Who can hate a man who loves him? |
1497 | Who can measure probabilities against certainties? |
1497 | Who can weigh virtue, or even fortune against health, or moral and mental qualities against bodily? |
1497 | Who is he? |
1497 | Who is it, I said, whom you are refusing to let off? |
1497 | Who is that? |
1497 | Who that is not a miserable caitiff will refrain from smiling at the praises of justice? |
1497 | Who then are those whom we shall compel to be guardians? |
1497 | Who then can be a guardian? |
1497 | Who was that? |
1497 | Whom, I said, are you not going to let off? |
1497 | Whose is that light which makes the eye to see perfectly and the visible to appear? |
1497 | Whose? |
1497 | Why do you ask such a question, I said, when you ought rather to be answering? |
1497 | Why do you ask? |
1497 | Why do you say so? |
1497 | Why great caution? |
1497 | Why indeed, he said, when any name will do which expresses the thought of the mind with clearness? |
1497 | Why is that? |
1497 | Why not, as Aeschylus says, utter the word which rises to our lips? |
1497 | Why not? |
1497 | Why not? |
1497 | Why not? |
1497 | Why not? |
1497 | Why not? |
1497 | Why should he? |
1497 | Why should they not be? |
1497 | Why so? |
1497 | Why so? |
1497 | Why so? |
1497 | Why so? |
1497 | Why, I replied, what do you want more? |
1497 | Why, I said, do you not see that men are unwillingly deprived of good, and willingly of evil? |
1497 | Why, I said, what was ever great in a short time? |
1497 | Why, in the first place, although they are all of a good sort, are not some better than others? |
1497 | Why, what else is there? |
1497 | Why, where can they still find any ground for objection? |
1497 | Why, yes, I said, of course they answer truly; how can the Muses speak falsely? |
1497 | Why, yes, he said: how can any reasonable being ever identify that which is infallible with that which errs? |
1497 | Why, you do not mean to say that the tyrant will use violence? |
1497 | Why? |
1497 | Why? |
1497 | Why? |
1497 | Why? |
1497 | Will any one deny the other point, that there may be sons of kings or princes who are by nature philosophers? |
1497 | Will any private training enable him to stand firm against the overwhelming flood of popular opinion? |
1497 | Will he know from use whether or no his drawing is correct or beautiful? |
1497 | Will he not also require natural aptitude for his calling? |
1497 | Will he not be called by them a prater, a star- gazer, a good- for- nothing? |
1497 | Will he not fancy that the shadows which he formerly saw are truer than the objects which are now shown to him? |
1497 | Will 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? |
1497 | Will he not rather obtain them on the spot? |
1497 | Will he not think that heaven and the things in heaven are framed by the Creator of them in the most perfect manner? |
1497 | Will he not utterly hate a lie? |
1497 | Will horsemen carry torches and pass them one to another during the race? |
1497 | Will not a young man''s heart leap amid these discordant sounds? |
1497 | Will 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? |
1497 | Will not the guardians be the smallest of all the classes who receive a name from the profession of some kind of knowledge? |
1497 | Will 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? |
1497 | Will our citizens ever believe all this? |
1497 | Will the creature feel any compunction at tyrannizing over them? |
1497 | Will the just man or citizen ever be guilty of sacrilege or theft, or treachery either to his friends or to his country? |
1497 | Will the just state or the just individual steal, lie, commit adultery, or be guilty of impiety to gods and men? |
1497 | Will they disbelieve us, when we tell them that no State can be happy which is not designed by artists who imitate the heavenly pattern? |
1497 | Will they doubt that the philosopher is a lover of truth and being? |
1497 | Will they not be sophisms captivating to the ear, having nothing in them genuine, or worthy of or akin to true wisdom? |
1497 | Will they not be vile and bastard, devoid of truth and nature? |
1497 | Will they not be vile and bastard? |
1497 | Will they not produce corn, and wine, and clothes, and shoes, and build houses for themselves? |
1497 | Will you admit so much? |
1497 | Will you enquire yourself? |
1497 | Will you explain your meaning? |
1497 | Will you repay me, then, what you borrowed in the argument? |
1497 | Will you say that the world is of another mind? |
1497 | Will you say whether you approve of my proposal? |
1497 | Will you tell me? |
1497 | Will you tell me? |
1497 | Will you then kindly answer, for the edification of the company and of myself? |
1497 | Would 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? |
1497 | Would any one deny this? |
1497 | Would he allow imitation to be the ruling principle of his life, as if he had nothing higher in him? |
1497 | Would he not be worse than Eriphyle, who sold her husband''s life for a necklace? |
1497 | Would he not have had many devoted followers? |
1497 | Would he not rather say or do the same as his like in the same case? |
1497 | Would not he who is fitted to be a guardian, besides the spirited nature, need to have the qualities of a philosopher? |
1497 | Would that be your way of speaking? |
1497 | Would the picture of a perfectly beautiful man be any the worse because no such man ever lived? |
1497 | Would they not have been as unwilling to part with them as with gold, and have compelled them to stay at home with them? |
1497 | Would you agree with me in thinking that the corrupting and destroying element is the evil, and the saving and improving element the good? |
1497 | Would you call one of them virtue and the other vice? |
1497 | Would you have me put the proof bodily into your souls? |
1497 | Would you know the measure of the interval which separates them? |
1497 | Would you like, for the sake of clearness, to distinguish which are the necessary and which are the unnecessary pleasures? |
1497 | Would you say six or four years? |
1497 | Would you say that all men are equal in excellence, or is one man better than another? |
1497 | Would you say that knowledge is a faculty, or in what class would you place it? |
1497 | Yes, I said, a jest; and why? |
1497 | Yes, I said; and the higher principle is ready to follow this suggestion of reason? |
1497 | Yes, I said; and this being true of one must be equally true of all number? |
1497 | Yes, 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? |
1497 | Yes, I said; but if this definition of justice also breaks down, what other can be offered? |
1497 | Yes, Socrates, he said, and if you were providing for a city of pigs, how else would you feed the beasts? |
1497 | Yes, but also something more-- Is it not doubtful whether our guardians are to be imitators at all? |
1497 | Yes, but could this ever have happened if Homer had really been the educator of Hellas? |
1497 | Yes, but do not persons often err about good and evil: many who are not good seem to be so, and conversely? |
1497 | Yes, he replied, such is very often the case; but what has that to do with us and our argument? |
1497 | Yes, he said, that sort of thing is certainly very blameable; but what are the stories which you mean? |
1497 | Yes, he said; but what are the characteristics of this form of government, and what are the defects of which we were speaking? |
1497 | Yes, he said; how can I deny it? |
1497 | Yes, 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? |
1497 | Yes, the greatest; but will you explain yourself? |
1497 | Yes; and is not this true of the government of anything? |
1497 | Yes; but how in such partnerships is the just man of more use than any other man? |
1497 | Yet if he is not the maker, what is he in relation to the bed? |
1497 | Yet of all the organs of sense the eye is the most like the sun? |
1497 | You are aware, I suppose, that all mythology and poetry is a narration of events, either past, present, or to come? |
1497 | You are further aware that most people affirm pleasure to be the good, but the finer sort of wits say it is knowledge? |
1497 | You have answered me, I replied: Well, and may we not further say that our guardians are the best of our citizens? |
1497 | You know that they live securely and have nothing to apprehend from their servants? |
1497 | You mean geometry? |
1497 | You mean that they would shipwreck? |
1497 | You mean that you do not understand the nature of this payment which to the best men is the great inducement to rule? |
1497 | You mean to ask, I said, what will be our answer? |
1497 | You mean to say that the people, from whom he has derived his being, will maintain him and his companions? |
1497 | You mean when money is not wanted, but allowed to lie? |
1497 | You mean, I suspect, to ask whether tragedy and comedy shall be admitted into our State? |
1497 | You recognise the truth of what I have been saying? |
1497 | You remember what people say when they are sick? |
1497 | You remember, I said, how the rulers were chosen before? |
1497 | You say that perfect injustice is more gainful than perfect justice? |
1497 | You think that justice may be of use in peace as well as in war? |
1497 | You 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? |
1497 | You would agree with me? |
1497 | You would allow, I said, that there is in nature an upper and lower and middle region? |
1497 | You would argue that the good are our friends and the bad our enemies? |
1497 | You would compare them, I said, to those invalids who, having no self- restraint, will not leave off their habits of intemperance? |
1497 | You 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? |
1497 | You would not deny that those who have any true notion without intelligence are only like blind men who feel their way along the road? |
1497 | and are not the best judges in like manner those who are acquainted with all sorts of moral natures? |
1497 | and does not the actual tyrant lead a worse life than he whose life you determined to be the worst? |
1497 | and even in their peculiar pursuits, are not women often, though in some cases superior to men, ridiculously enough surpassed by them? |
1497 | and he who has tyrannized longest and most, most continually and truly miserable; although this may not be the opinion of men in general? |
1497 | and how does he live, in happiness or in misery? |
1497 | and how shall we manage the period between birth and education, which seems to require the greatest care? |
1497 | and is no difference made by the circumstance that one of the fingers is in the middle and another at the extremity? |
1497 | and must he not be represented as such? |
1497 | and will any education save him from being carried away by the torrent? |
1497 | and you would agree that to conceive things as they are is to possess the truth? |
1497 | and''What is small?'' |
1497 | beat his father if he opposes him? |
1497 | he said; are they not capable of defending themselves? |
1497 | he said; ought we to give them a worse life, when they might have a better? |
1497 | he says;''would you have me put the words bodily into your souls?'' |
1497 | or any greater good than the bond of unity? |
1497 | or is any invention attributed to you, as there is to Thales and Anacharsis? |
1497 | or is the subject- matter of opinion the same as the subject- matter of knowledge? |
1497 | or 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? |
1497 | or the knowledge of all other things if we have no knowledge of beauty and goodness? |
1497 | or will he be carried away by the stream? |
1497 | or will he have right opinion from being compelled to associate with another who knows and gives him instructions about what he should draw? |
1497 | or will you make allowance for them? |
1497 | or would you include the mixed? |
1497 | or would you prefer to look to yourself only? |
1497 | or, rather, how can there be an opinion at all about not- being? |
1497 | or, suppose them to have no care of human things-- why in either case should we mind about concealment? |
1497 | shall we condescend to legislate on any of these particulars? |
1497 | were 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? |
1497 | would he not desire to have more than either the knowing or the ignorant? |
1497 | you are incredulous, are you? |
55201 | Will 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? |
55201 | 300, 301]; the ideal ruler,_ ib._ 502:--Rulers of states; do they study their own interests? |
55201 | 364 D;--the just or the unjust, which is the more advantageous? |
55201 | 435 D.] To what do you refer? |
55201 | 464, 465;--is it possible? |
55201 | 6),''Whether the virtues are one or many?'' |
55201 | 601, 603, 605;--''the poets who were children and prophets of the gods''(? |
55201 | 835 C), especially when they have been licensed by custom and religion? |
55201 | A right noble thought[9]; but do you suppose that we{ 205} shall refrain from asking you what is this highest knowledge? |
55201 | A second and greater wave is rolling in-- community of wives and children; is this either expedient or possible? |
55201 | A state which is intermediate, and a sort of repose of the soul about either-- that is what you mean? |
55201 | Adeimantus added: Has no one told you of the torch- race on horseback in honour of the goddess which will take place in the evening? |
55201 | After this manner the democrat was generated out of the oligarch? |
55201 | Again, as to the devastation of Hellenic territory or the burning of houses, what is to be the practice? |
55201 | Again, has he greater experience of the pleasures of honour, or the lover of honour of the pleasures of wisdom? |
55201 | Again, is not the passionate element wholly set on ruling and conquering and getting fame? |
55201 | Again, 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? |
55201 | All of whom will call one another citizens? |
55201 | All that would arise out of his ignorance of the true upper and middle and lower regions? |
55201 | Am I not right? |
55201 | Am I not right? |
55201 | Am I not right? |
55201 | Am I not right? |
55201 | And O my friend, I said, surely the gods are just? |
55201 | And a narrative it remains both in the speeches which the poet recites from time to time and in the intermediate passages? |
55201 | And again, if he is forgetful and retains nothing of what he learns, will he not be an empty vessel? |
55201 | And agreeably to this mode of thinking and speaking, were we not saying that they will have their pleasures and pains in common? |
55201 | And all arithmetic and calculation have to do with number? |
55201 | And also of the mental ones; his soul is to be full of spirit? |
55201 | And an art requiring as much attention as shoemaking? |
55201 | And another consideration has just occurred to me: You will remember that our young men are to be warrior athletes? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And anything which is infected by any of these evils is made evil, and at last wholly dissolves and dies? |
55201 | And are enemies also to receive what we owe to them? |
55201 | And are not their praises of tyranny alone a sufficient reason why we should exclude them from our State? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And are you going to run away before you have fairly taught or learned whether they are true or not? |
55201 | And are you stronger than all these? |
55201 | And as State is to State in virtue and happiness, so is man in relation to man? |
55201 | And as we are to have the best of guardians for our city, must they not be those who have most the character of guardians? |
55201 | And both pleasure and pain are motions of the soul, are they not? |
55201 | And both should be in harmony? |
55201 | And by contracts you mean partnerships? |
55201 | And can any one of those many things which are called by particular names be said to be this rather than not to be this? |
55201 | And can that which does no evil be a cause of evil? |
55201 | And can the just by justice make men unjust, or speaking* 335D* generally, can the good by virtue make them bad? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And can therefore neither be ignorance nor knowledge? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And democracy has her own good, of which the insatiable desire brings her to dissolution? |
55201 | And do I differ from you, he said, as to the importance of the enquiry? |
55201 | And do not good practices lead to virtue, and evil practices to vice? |
55201 | And do not the two styles, or the mixture of the two, comprehend all poetry, and every form of expression in words? |
55201 | And do the unjust appear to you to be wise and good? |
55201 | And do they not educate to perfection young and old, men and women alike, and fashion them after their own hearts? |
55201 | And do we know what we opine? |
55201 | And do you also agree, I said, in describing the dialectician as one who attains a conception of the essence of each thing? |
55201 | And do you breed from them all indifferently, or do you take care to breed from the best only? |
55201 | And do you consider truth to be akin to proportion or to disproportion? |
55201 | And do you not know, I said, that all mere opinions are bad, and the best of them blind? |
55201 | And do you suppose that I ask these questions with any design of injuring you in the argument? |
55201 | And do you wish to behold what is blind and crooked and* 506D* base, when others will tell you of brightness and beauty? |
55201 | And does not the analogy apply still more to the State? |
55201 | And does not the same hold also of the ridiculous? |
55201 | And does not the same principle hold in the sciences? |
55201 | And does not tyranny spring from democracy in the* 562B* same manner as democracy from oligarchy-- I mean, after a sort? |
55201 | And does the essence of the invariable partake of knowledge in the same degree as of essence? |
55201 | And dogs are deteriorated in the good qualities of dogs, and not of horses? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And each of them is such as his like is? |
55201 | And even to this are there not exceptions? |
55201 | And everything else on the style? |
55201 | And food and wisdom are the corresponding satisfactions of either? |
55201 | And from being a keeper of the law he is converted into a breaker of it? |
55201 | And good counsel is clearly a kind of knowledge, for not by ignorance, but by knowledge, do men counsel well? |
55201 | And has not the body itself less of truth and essence than the soul? |
55201 | And has not the eye an excellence? |
55201 | And has not the soul an excellence also? |
55201 | And have we not already condemned that State* 552* in which the same persons are warriors as well as shopkeepers? |
55201 | And he is good in as far as he is wise, and bad in as far as he is foolish? |
55201 | And he is the best guard of a camp who is best able to* 334A* steal a march upon the enemy? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And he who is most skilful in preventing or escaping[2] from a disease is best able to create one? |
55201 | And he who is not on a voyage has no need of a pilot? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And his friends and fellow- citizens will want to use him as he gets older for their own purposes? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And how am I to do so? |
55201 | And how are they to be learned without education? |
55201 | And how can one who is thus circumstanced ever become a philosopher? |
55201 | And how can we rightly answer that question? |
55201 | And how does such an one live? |
55201 | And how does the son come into being? |
55201 | And how is the error to be corrected? |
55201 | And how will they proceed? |
55201 | And how would he regard the attempt to gain an advantage over the unjust; would that be considered by him as just or unjust? |
55201 | And if care was not taken in the breeding, your dogs and birds would greatly deteriorate? |
55201 | And if merchandise is to be carried over the sea, skilful* 371B* sailors will also be needed, and in considerable numbers? |
55201 | And if our youth are to do their work in life, must they not make these graces and harmonies their perpetual aim? |
55201 | And if that is true, what sort of general must he have been? |
55201 | And if the old man and woman fight for their own, what then, my friend? |
55201 | And if the world perceives that what we are saying about* 500E* him is the truth, will they be angry with philosophy? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And if they are to be what we were describing, is there* 485C* not another quality which they should also possess? |
55201 | And if they turn out to be two, is not each of them one and different? |
55201 | And if they were able to converse with one another, would they not suppose that they were naming what was actually before them[1]? |
55201 | And ignorance and folly are inanitions of the soul? |
55201 | And in like manner does the touch adequately perceive the qualities of thickness or thinness, of softness or hardness? |
55201 | And in oligarchical States, from the general spread of carelessness and extravagance, men of good family have often been reduced to beggary? |
55201 | And in our State what other name besides that of citizens do the people give the rulers? |
55201 | And in our opinion the guardians ought to have both these qualities? |
55201 | And in such a case what is one to say? |
55201 | And in that case they will be right in doing good to the evil and* 334D* evil to the good? |
55201 | And in that interval there has now been discovered something which we call opinion? |
55201 | And in the first place, he will honour studies which impress these qualities on his soul and will disregard others? |
55201 | And in the laying of bricks and stones is the just man a more useful or better partner than the builder? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And is he likely to be brave who has no spirit, whether horse or dog or any other animal? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And is not a State larger than an individual? |
55201 | And is not a similar method to be pursued about the virtues, which are also four in number? |
55201 | And is not life to be reckoned among the ends of the soul? |
55201 | And is not that farthest from reason which is at the greatest distance from law and order? |
55201 | And is not the end of the soul happiness, and justice the excellence of the soul by which happiness is attained? |
55201 | And is not the love of learning the love of wisdom, which is philosophy? |
55201 | And is not the reason of this that the several principles, whether in the state or in the individual, do their own business? |
55201 | And is not the unjust like the wise and good and the just unlike them? |
55201 | And is not this the reason why of old love has been called a tyrant? |
55201 | And is our theory a worse theory because we are unable to{ 170} prove the possibility of a city being ordered in the manner described? |
55201 | And is the art of war one of those arts in which she can or can not share? |
55201 | And is the city which is under a tyrant rich or poor? |
55201 | And is the satisfaction derived from that which has less or from that which has more existence the truer? |
55201 | And is there any greater or keener pleasure than that of sensual love? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And is there anything more akin to wisdom than truth? |
55201 | And is this confined to the sight only, or does it extend to the hearing also, relating in fact to what we term poetry? |
55201 | And it has this particular quality because it has an object of a particular kind; and this is true of the other arts and sciences? |
55201 | And literature may be either true or false? |
55201 | And luxury and softness are blamed, because they relax and weaken this same creature, and make a coward of him? |
55201 | And may not the many which are doubles be also halves?--doubles, that is, of one thing, and halves of another? |
55201 | And may we not rightly call such men treacherous? |
55201 | And may we not say of the philosopher that he is a lover, not of a part of wisdom only, but of the whole? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And may we not say the same of all things? |
55201 | And might a man be thirsty, and yet unwilling to drink? |
55201 | And must not an animal be a lover of learning who determines what he likes and dislikes by the test of knowledge and ignorance? |
55201 | And must not such a State and such a man be always full of fear? |
55201 | And must not the like happen with the spirited or passionate element of the soul? |
55201 | And must not the soul be perplexed at this intimation which the sense gives of a hard which is also soft? |
55201 | And must not the tyrannical man be like the tyrannical State, and the democratical man like the democratical State; and the same of the others? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And next, how does he live? |
55201 | And next, shall we enquire whether the kindred science also concerns us? |
55201 | And no good thing is hurtful? |
55201 | And not- being is not one thing but, properly speaking,* 478C* nothing? |
55201 | And now what is their manner of life, and what sort of* 557B* a government have they? |
55201 | And now what remains of the work of legislation? |
55201 | And now why do you not praise me? |
55201 | And now, Adeimantus, is our State matured and perfected? |
55201 | And of individuals who consort with the mob and seek to please them? |
55201 | And of the objects which are being carried in like manner they would only see the shadows? |
55201 | And of the pleasures of love, and all other pleasures, the same holds good? |
55201 | And of the unjust may not the opposite be supposed? |
55201 | And of truth in the same degree? |
55201 | And once more, the inharmonious and unseemly nature can only tend to disproportion? |
55201 | And one woman has a turn for gymnastic and military exercises, and another is unwarlike and hates gymnastics? |
55201 | And one woman is a philosopher, and another is an enemy of philosophy; one has spirit, and another is without spirit? |
55201 | And opinion is to have an opinion? |
55201 | And ought not the same natures to have the same pursuits? |
55201 | And our guardian is both warrior and philosopher? |
55201 | And reasoning is peculiarly his instrument? |
55201 | And shall I add,''whether seen or unseen by gods and men''? |
55201 | And should an immortal being seriously think of this little* 608D* space rather than of the whole? |
55201 | And should we not enquire what sort of knowledge has the* 521D* power of effecting such a change? |
55201 | And so let us have a final trial and proclamation; need we hire a herald, or shall I proclaim the result? |
55201 | And so of all other things;--justice is useful when they are useless, and useless when they are useful? |
55201 | And so of the other senses; do they give perfect intimations of such matters? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And so tyranny naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme form of liberty? |
55201 | And still there arises another question: Are friends to be interpreted as real or seeming; enemies as real or seeming? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And suppose injustice abiding in a single person, would your wisdom say that she loses or that she retains her natural power? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And that human virtue is justice? |
55201 | And that others should approve, of what we approve, is no miracle or impossibility? |
55201 | And that to which an end is appointed has also an excellence? |
55201 | And that which hurts not does no evil? |
55201 | And that which is not hurtful hurts not? |
55201 | And that which is opposed to them is one of the inferior principles of the soul? |
55201 | And the anticipations of future pleasures and pains are of a like nature? |
55201 | And the better part of the soul is likely to be that which trusts to measure and calculation? |
55201 | And the citizens being thus agreed among themselves, in which class will temperance be found-- in the rulers or in the subjects? |
55201 | And the country which was enough to support the original inhabitants will be too small now, and not enough? |
55201 | And the ear has an end and an excellence also? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And the fairest is also the loveliest? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And the good is advantageous? |
55201 | And the government is the ruling power in each state? |
55201 | And the greater the interval which separates them from philosophy and reason, the more strange and illusive will be the pleasure? |
55201 | And the greatest degree of evil- doing to one''s own city would be termed by you injustice? |
55201 | And the higher the duties of the guardian, I said, the more* 374E* time, and skill, and art, and application will be needed by him? |
55201 | And the individual will be acknowledged by us to be just in the same way in which the State is just? |
55201 | And the inharmonious is cowardly and boorish? |
55201 | And the insatiable desire of wealth and the neglect of all other things for the sake of money- getting was also the ruin of oligarchy? |
55201 | And the interest of any art is the perfection of it-- this and nothing else? |
55201 | And the just is the good? |
55201 | And the kinds of knowledge in a State are many and diverse? |
55201 | And the knowing is wise? |
55201 | And the laws which they make must be obeyed by their subjects,--and that is what you call justice? |
55201 | And the lover of honour-- what will be his opinion? |
55201 | And the lustful and tyrannical desires are, as we saw, at the* 587B* greatest distance? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And the melody and rhythm will depend upon the words? |
55201 | And the more detestable his actions are to the citizens the more satellites and the greater devotion in them will he require? |
55201 | And the more hated he is, the more he will require trusty guards; but how will he obtain them? |
55201 | And the much greater to the much less? |
55201 | And the new government which thus arises will be of a form intermediate between oligarchy and aristocracy? |
55201 | And the oligarch is third from the royal; since we count* 587D* as one royal and aristocratical? |
55201 | And the painter too is, as I conceive, just such another-- a creator of appearances, is he not? |
55201 | And the persons whose property is taken from them are compelled to defend themselves before the people as they best can? |
55201 | And the pilot likewise, in the strict sense of the term, is a ruler of sailors and not a mere sailor? |
55201 | And the pilot-- that is to say, the true pilot-- is he a captain of sailors or a mere sailor? |
55201 | And the possibility has been acknowledged? |
55201 | And the power which the eye possesses is a sort of effluence which is dispensed from the sun? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And the reason why the good are useless has now been explained? |
55201 | And the result will be that he becomes a worse potter? |
55201 | And the royal and orderly desires are nearest? |
55201 | And the same is true of all other things; they have each of them an end and a special excellence? |
55201 | And the same of horses and animals in general? |
55201 | And the sometime greater to the sometime less, and the greater that is to be to the less that is to be? |
55201 | And the tragic poet is an imitator, and therefore, like all other imitators, he is thrice removed from the king and from the truth? |
55201 | And the unjust is good and wise, and the just is neither? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And the virtue which enters into this competition is* 433E* justice? |
55201 | And the wise is good? |
55201 | And the work of the painter is a third? |
55201 | And then, although they may have no desire of change, the others charge them with plotting against the people and being friends of oligarchy? |
55201 | And there are three kinds of pleasure, which are their several objects? |
55201 | And there is a neutral state which is neither pleasure nor pain? |
55201 | And therefore he will not sorrow for his departed friend as though he had suffered anything terrible? |
55201 | And therefore philosophers must inevitably fall under the censure of the world? |
55201 | And therefore the cause of well- being? |
55201 | And therefore they are likely to do harm to our young men-- you would agree with me there? |
55201 | And therefore to acknowledge that bad and good are the same? |
55201 | And they will place them under the command of experienced veterans who will be their leaders and teachers? |
55201 | And they will take them on the safe expeditions and be cautious about the dangerous ones? |
55201 | And things great and small, heavy and light, as they are termed, will not be denoted by these any more than by the opposite names? |
55201 | And this assimilation of himself to another, either by the use of voice or gesture, is the imitation of the person whose character he assumes? |
55201 | And this is because injustice creates divisions and hatreds and fighting, and justice imparts harmony and friendship; is not that true, Thrasymachus? |
55201 | And this is equally true of imitation; no one man can imitate many things as well as he would imitate a single one? |
55201 | And those who govern ought not to be lovers of the task? |
55201 | And to this end they ought to be wise and efficient, and to have a special care of the State? |
55201 | And to which class do unity and number belong? |
55201 | And was I not right, Adeimantus? |
55201 | And was I not right? |
55201 | And we have admitted that justice is the excellence of the soul, and injustice the defect of the soul? |
55201 | And we have admitted, I said, that the good of each art is specially confined to the art? |
55201 | And what about* 598A* the painter? |
55201 | And what are these? |
55201 | And what do the rulers call one another in other States? |
55201 | And what do the rulers call the people? |
55201 | And what do they call them in other States? |
55201 | And what do they receive of men? |
55201 | And what do you say to his receiving the right hand of fellowship? |
55201 | And what does the judge affirm to be the life which is next, and the pleasure which is next? |
55201 | And what due or proper thing is given by cookery, and to what? |
55201 | And what happens? |
55201 | And what in ours? |
55201 | And what is that which justice gives, and to whom? |
55201 | And what is the faculty in man to which imitation is addressed? |
55201 | And what is the name which the city derives from the possession of this sort of knowledge? |
55201 | And what is the next question? |
55201 | And what is this knowledge, and among whom is it found? |
55201 | And what is your view about them? |
55201 | And what manner of government do you term oligarchy? |
55201 | And what manner of man answers to such a State? |
55201 | And what may that be? |
55201 | And what of passion, or spirit? |
55201 | And what of the ignorant? |
55201 | And what of the unjust-- does he claim to have more than the just man and to do more than is just? |
55201 | And what shall be their education? |
55201 | And what shall we say about men? |
55201 | And what shall we say of men? |
55201 | And what shall we say of the carpenter-- is not he also the maker of the bed? |
55201 | And what similar use or power of acquisition has justice in time of peace? |
55201 | And what then would you say? |
55201 | And what training will draw the soul upwards? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And when they meet in private will not people be* 556E* saying to one another''Our warriors are not good for much''? |
55201 | And when truth is the captain, we can not suspect any evil of the band which he leads? |
55201 | And when you see the same evils in the tyrannical man, what do you say of him? |
55201 | And when you speak of music, do you include literature or not? |
55201 | And when you want to buy a ship, the shipwright or the pilot would be better? |
55201 | And where do you find them? |
55201 | And where freedom is, the individual is clearly able to order for himself his own life as he pleases? |
55201 | And which are the soft or drinking harmonies? |
55201 | And which are these two sorts? |
55201 | And which is wise and which is foolish? |
55201 | And which method do I understand you to prefer? |
55201 | And which of the three has the truest knowledge and the widest experience? |
55201 | And which sort of life, Glaucon, do you prefer? |
55201 | And which, I said, of the gods in heaven would you say was the lord of this element? |
55201 | And whichever of these qualities we find in the State, the one which is not found will be the residue? |
55201 | And who are the devoted band, and where will he procure them? |
55201 | And who is best able to do good to his friends and evil to his enemies in time of sickness? |
55201 | And will he sell his own fairer and diviner part without any compunction to the most godless and foul? |
55201 | And will he then change himself for the better and fairer, or for the worse and more unsightly? |
55201 | And will not a true astronomer have the same feeling when he looks at the movements of the stars? |
55201 | And will not he who has been shown to be the wickedest,* 576C* be also the most miserable? |
55201 | And will not the city, which you are founding, be an Hellenic city? |
55201 | And will not the same condition be best for our citizens? |
55201 | And will not the words and the character of the style depend on the temper of the soul? |
55201 | And will not their wives be the best women? |
55201 | And will the blindness and crookedness of opinion content you when you might have the light and certainty of science? |
55201 | And will the love of a lie be any part of a philosopher''s nature? |
55201 | And will they be a class which is rarely found? |
55201 | And will they not be lovers of Hellas, and think of Hellas as their own land, and share in the common temples? |
55201 | And will you be so very good as to answer one more question? |
55201 | And will you have a work better done when the workman has many occupations, or when he has only one? |
55201 | And with the hearing, I said, we hear, and with the other senses perceive the other objects of sense? |
55201 | And would not a really good education furnish the best safeguard? |
55201 | And would you call justice vice? |
55201 | And would you have the future rulers of your ideal State intelligent beings, or stupid as posts? |
55201 | And would you say that the soul of such an one is the soul of a freeman, or of a slave? |
55201 | And yet not so well as with a pruning- hook made for the purpose? |
55201 | And yet there is a sense in which the painter also creates a bed? |
55201 | And yet you were acknowledging a little while ago that knowledge is not the same as opinion? |
55201 | And yet, as you see, there are freemen as well as masters in such a State? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And 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? |
55201 | And you placed astronomy next, and then you made a step backward? |
55201 | And you would say the same sort of thing of the physician? |
55201 | And, conversely, that which has less of truth will also have less of essence? |
55201 | Another question is, Which of existing states is suited to her? |
55201 | Any affinity to wantonness and intemperance? |
55201 | Any more than heat can produce cold? |
55201 | Any more than they can be rhapsodists and actors at once? |
55201 | Are not the chief elements of temperance, speaking* 389E* generally, obedience to commanders and self- control in sensual pleasures? |
55201 | Are not the public who say these things* 492B* the greatest of all Sophists? |
55201 | Are not the tragic poets wise who magnify and exalt the tyrant, and say that he is wise by association with the wise? |
55201 | Are not these functions proper to the soul, and can they rightly be assigned to any other? |
55201 | Are the lovers of sights and sounds, who let out their ears to every chorus at the Dionysiac festivals, to be called philosophers?'' |
55201 | Are they two or one, and is either of them the cause of the other? |
55201 | Are you not aware, I said, that the soul of man is immortal and imperishable? |
55201 | Are you satisfied then that the quality which makes such men and such states is justice, or do you hope to discover some other? |
55201 | As being the same with knowledge, or another faculty? |
55201 | As they are or as they appear? |
55201 | At 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? |
55201 | Because I want to know in which of the three classes you would place justice? |
55201 | Because it has a particular quality which no other has? |
55201 | Beds, then, are of three kinds, and there are three artists who superintend them: God, the maker of the bed, and the painter? |
55201 | Beginning with the State, I replied, would you say that a city which is governed by a tyrant is free or enslaved? |
55201 | Being is the sphere or subject- matter of knowledge, and knowledge is to know the nature of being? |
55201 | But again, will they tell us that such a nature, placed under favourable circumstances, will not be perfectly good and wise if any ever was? |
55201 | But although the gods are themselves unchangeable, still by witchcraft and deception they may make us think that they appear in various forms? |
55201 | But are not these spirited natures apt to be savage with one another, and with everybody else? |
55201 | But are they really three or one? |
55201 | But can any of these reasons apply to God? |
55201 | But can that which is neither become both? |
55201 | But can the musician by his art make men unmusical? |
55201 | But can you persuade us, if we refuse to listen to you? |
55201 | But can you tell me of any other suitable study? |
55201 | But can you use different animals for the same purpose, unless they are bred and fed in the same way? |
55201 | But did we not say, Thrasymachus, that the unjust goes beyond both his like and unlike? |
55201 | But do you imagine that men who are unable to give and take a reason will have the knowledge which we require of them? |
55201 | But do you know whom I think good? |
55201 | But do you mean to say that this is not the opinion of the multitude? |
55201 | But do you not admire their cleverness? |
55201 | But do you not see that there is a sense in which you could do the same? |
55201 | But do you observe the reason of this? |
55201 | But do you see, he rejoined, how many we are? |
55201 | But does the painter know the right form of the bit and reins? |
55201 | But have we not here fallen into a contradiction? |
55201 | But he may have friends who are senseless or mad? |
55201 | But he would claim to exceed the non- musician? |
55201 | But he would wish to go beyond the non- physician? |
55201 | But how did timocracy arise out of the perfect State? |
55201 | But how is the image applicable to the disciples of philosophy? |
55201 | But how* 461D* will they know who are fathers and daughters, and so on? |
55201 | But if so, the tyrant will live most unpleasantly, and the king most pleasantly? |
55201 | But 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? |
55201 | But if they abstained from injuring one another, then they might act together better? |
55201 | But in what way good or harm? |
55201 | But is a man in harmony with himself when he is the subject of these conflicting influences? |
55201 | But is not this unjust? |
55201 | But is opinion to be sought without and beyond either of them, in a greater clearness than knowledge, or in a greater darkness than ignorance? |
55201 | But is passion a third principle, or akin to desire? |
55201 | But is such a community possible?--as among the animals, so{ lxxv} also among men; and if possible, in what way possible? |
55201 | But is there no difference between men and women? |
55201 | But is there not another name which people give to their rulers in other States? |
55201 | But is this equally true of the greatness and smallness of the fingers? |
55201 | But let me ask you another question: Has excess of pleasure any affinity to temperance? |
55201 | But may he not change and transform himself? |
55201 | But may not the stimulus which love has given to fancy be some day exhausted? |
55201 | But next, what shall we say of their food; for the men are in training for the great contest of all-- are they not? |
55201 | But ought the just to injure any one at all? |
55201 | But ought we to attempt to construct one? |
55201 | But ought we to render evil for evil at all, when to do so will only make men more evil? |
55201 | But shall we be right in getting rid of them? |
55201 | But should not life rest on the moral rather than upon the physical? |
55201 | But suppose that he were to retort,''Thrasymachus, what do you mean? |
55201 | But surely God and the things of God are in every way perfect? |
55201 | But surely, Thrasymachus, the arts are the superiors and rulers of their own subjects? |
55201 | But the condiments are only necessary in so far as they are good for health? |
55201 | But the good are just and would not do an injustice? |
55201 | But the philosopher will still be justified in asking,''How may the heavenly gift of poesy be devoted to the good of mankind?'' |
55201 | But those who see the absolute and eternal and immutable may be said to know, and not to have opinion only? |
55201 | But we should like to ask him a question: Does he who has knowledge know something or nothing? |
55201 | But 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? |
55201 | But 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? |
55201 | But what do you mean by the highest of all knowledge? |
55201 | But what do you say of music, which also entered to a certain extent into our former scheme? |
55201 | But what do you say to flute- makers and flute- players? |
55201 | But what if there are no gods? |
55201 | But what is the next step? |
55201 | But what of the world below? |
55201 | But what ought to be their course? |
55201 | But what shall be done to the hero? |
55201 | But what shall their education be? |
55201 | But what will be the process of delineation?'' |
55201 | But what would you have, Glaucon? |
55201 | But when a man is well, my dear Polemarchus, there is no need of a physician? |
55201 | But when is this fault committed? |
55201 | But whence came division? |
55201 | But where are the two? |
55201 | But where, amid all this, is justice? |
55201 | But which is the happier? |
55201 | But which stories do you mean, he said; and what fault do you find with them? |
55201 | But who are friends and enemies?] |
55201 | But who can doubt that philosophers should be chosen, if they have the other qualities which are required in a ruler? |
55201 | But why do you ask? |
55201 | But why do you ask? |
55201 | But why* 533E* should we dispute about names when we have realities of such importance to consider? |
55201 | But why? |
55201 | But will he not desire to get them on the spot? |
55201 | But will the imitator have either? |
55201 | But will you let me assume, without reciting them, that these things are true? |
55201 | But would any of your guardians think or speak of any other guardian as a stranger? |
55201 | But would you call the painter a creator and maker? |
55201 | But you see that without the addition of some other nature there is no seeing or being seen? |
55201 | But* 501A* how will they draw out the plan of which you are speaking? |
55201 | But, if Homer never did any public service, was he privately a guide or teacher of any? |
55201 | By heaven, would not such an one be a rare educator? |
55201 | Can I say what I do not know? |
55201 | Can a man help imitating that with which he holds reverential converse? |
55201 | Can any man be courageous who has the fear of death in him? |
55201 | Can any other origin of a State be imagined? |
55201 | Can any reality come up to the idea? |
55201 | Can he have an opinion which is an opinion about nothing? |
55201 | Can justice produce injustice any more than the art of horsemanship{ xix} can make bad horsemen, or heat produce cold? |
55201 | Can sight adequately perceive them? |
55201 | Can the god of Jealousy himself* 487* find any fault with such an assemblage of good qualities? |
55201 | Can the same nature be a lover of wisdom and a lover of* 485D* falsehood? |
55201 | Can there be any greater evil than discord and distraction* 462B* and plurality where unity ought to reign? |
55201 | Can they have a better place than between being and not- being? |
55201 | Can we any longer doubt, then, that the miser and money- maker* 555B* answers to the oligarchical State? |
55201 | Can we suppose that he is ignorant of antiquity, and therefore has recourse to invention? |
55201 | Can you tell me what imitation is? |
55201 | Can you tell me whence I derive this inference? |
55201 | Capital, 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? |
55201 | Deteriorated, that is to say, in the good qualities of horses, not of dogs? |
55201 | Did he mean that I was to give back arms to a madman? |
55201 | Did this never strike you as curious? |
55201 | Did you ever hear any of them which were not? |
55201 | Did you never hear it? |
55201 | Did you never observe in the arts how the potters''boys look on and help, long before they touch the wheel? |
55201 | Do I take you with me? |
55201 | Do they by attaching to the soul and inhering in her at last bring her to death, and so separate her from the body? |
55201 | Do we admit the existence of opinion? |
55201 | Do you agree? |
55201 | Do you know of any other? |
55201 | Do you know where you will have to look if you want to discover his rogueries? |
55201 | Do 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? |
55201 | Do 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? |
55201 | Do you mean, for example, that he who is mistaken about the sick is a physician in that he is mistaken? |
55201 | Do you not know that all this is but the prelude to the actual strain which we have to learn? |
55201 | Do you not know that the soul is immortal? |
55201 | Do you not know, I said, that the true lie, if such an expression may be allowed, is hated of gods and men? |
55201 | Do you not see them doing the same? |
55201 | Do you observe that we were not far wrong in our guess that temperance was a sort of harmony? |
55201 | Do you remember? |
55201 | Do you see that there is a way in which you could make them all yourself? |
55201 | Do you suppose that I call him who is mistaken the stronger at the time when he is mistaken? |
55201 | Do you think it right that Hellenes should enslave Hellenic States, or allow others to enslave them, if they can help? |
55201 | Do you think that the possession of all other things is of any value if we do not possess the good? |
55201 | Do you think that there is anything so very unnatural or inexcusable in their case? |
55201 | Does he not call the other pleasures necessary, under the idea that if there were no necessity for them, he would rather not have them? |
55201 | Does not like always attract like? |
55201 | Does not the practice of* 469D* despoiling an enemy afford an excuse for not facing the battle? |
55201 | Does not the timocratical man change into the oligarchical on this wise? |
55201 | Does that look well? |
55201 | Does the injustice or other evil which exists in the soul waste and consume her? |
55201 | Does the just man try to gain any advantage over the just? |
55201 | Each of them, I said, is such as his like is? |
55201 | Enough of gods and heroes;--what shall we say about men? |
55201 | Enough, my friend; but what is enough while anything remains wanting? |
55201 | Every act does something to somebody; and following this analogy, Socrates asks, What is this due and proper thing which justice does, and to whom? |
55201 | Except a city?--or would you include a city? |
55201 | First of all, in regard to slavery? |
55201 | First you began with a geometry of plane surfaces? |
55201 | First, then, they resemble one another in the value which they set upon wealth? |
55201 | For all these things are only the prelude, and you surely do not suppose that a mere mathematician is also a dialectician? |
55201 | For concerning political measures, we chiefly ask: How will they affect the happiness of mankind? |
55201 | For example, I said, can the same thing be at rest and in motion at the same time in the same part? |
55201 | For if Agamemnon could not count his feet( and without number how could he?) |
55201 | For what purpose do you conceive that we have come here, said Thrasymachus,--to look for gold, or to hear discourse? |
55201 | For which the art has to consider and provide? |
55201 | For you surely would not* 531E* regard the skilled mathematician as a dialectician? |
55201 | Further, I said, has not a drunken man also the spirit of* 573C* a tyrant? |
55201 | Further, the very faculty which is the instrument of judgment is not possessed by the covetous or ambitious man, but only by the philosopher? |
55201 | Further, there can be no doubt that a work is spoilt when not done at the right time? |
55201 | God forbid, I replied; but may I ask you to consider the image in another point of view? |
55201 | Good, I said; then you call him who is third in the descent from nature an imitator? |
55201 | Government, forms of, are they administered in the interest of the rulers? |
55201 | Has not nature scattered all the qualities which our citizens require indifferently up and down among the two sexes? |
55201 | Has not that been admitted? |
55201 | Has not the intemperate been censured of old, because in{ 304} him the huge multiform monster is allowed to be too much at large? |
55201 | Have I clearly explained the class which I mean? |
55201 | Have we not here a picture of his way of life? |
55201 | Having effected this, they will proceed to trace an outline of the constitution? |
55201 | Having so many evils, will not the most miserable of men be still more miserable in a public station? |
55201 | He asks only''What good have they done?'' |
55201 | He can hardly avoid saying Yes-- can he now? |
55201 | He is a soldier, and, like Adeimantus, has been{ xiii} distinguished at the battle of Megara( 368 A, anno 456?)... |
55201 | He knows that this latter institution is not more than four or five thousand years old: may not the end revert to the beginning? |
55201 | He looked at me in astonishment, and said: No, by heaven: And are you really prepared to maintain this? |
55201 | He mentioned that he was present when one of the spirits asked another,''Where is Ardiaeus the Great?'' |
55201 | He roared out to the whole company: What folly, Socrates, has taken possession of you all? |
55201 | He said: Who then are the true philosophers? |
55201 | He was present when one of the spirits asked-- Where is Ardiaeus the Great? |
55201 | He will grow more and more indolent and careless? |
55201 | Hence arises the question,''What is great, what is small?'' |
55201 | How can that be? |
55201 | How can that be? |
55201 | How can there be? |
55201 | How can they, he said, if they are blind and can not see? |
55201 | How can they, he said, when they are not allowed to apply their minds to the callings of any of these? |
55201 | How can we? |
55201 | How cast off? |
55201 | How do they act? |
55201 | How do you distinguish them? |
55201 | How do you mean? |
55201 | How do you mean? |
55201 | How do you mean? |
55201 | How do you mean? |
55201 | How do you mean? |
55201 | How do you mean? |
55201 | How do you mean? |
55201 | How do you mean? |
55201 | How do you mean? |
55201 | How is he to be wise and also innocent? |
55201 | How many? |
55201 | How so? |
55201 | How so? |
55201 | How so? |
55201 | How so? |
55201 | How so? |
55201 | How so? |
55201 | How so? |
55201 | How so? |
55201 | How so? |
55201 | How then can men and women have the same? |
55201 | How then does a protector begin to change into a tyrant? |
55201 | How was that? |
55201 | How will they proceed? |
55201 | How would they address us? |
55201 | How, then, can we be right in supposing that the absence of pain is pleasure, or that the absence of pleasure is pain? |
55201 | How? |
55201 | How? |
55201 | How? |
55201 | How? |
55201 | How? |
55201 | I assume, I said, that the tyrant is in the third place from the oligarch; the democrat was in the middle? |
55201 | I do not know, do you? |
55201 | I might say the same of the ears; when deprived of their own proper excellence they can not fulfil their end? |
55201 | I presume then that you are going to make one of the interdicted answers? |
55201 | I 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? |
55201 | I 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? |
55201 | I said; how shall we find a gentle nature which has also a great spirit, for the one is the contradiction of the other? |
55201 | I said; the prelude or what? |
55201 | I should like to know whether you have the same notion which I have of this study? |
55201 | I suppose that you would call justice virtue and injustice vice? |
55201 | I 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? |
55201 | I will explain: The body which is large when seen near, appears small when seen at a distance? |
55201 | I will proceed by asking a question: Would you not say that a horse has some end? |
55201 | I will; and first tell me, Do you admit that it is just for subjects to obey their rulers? |
55201 | Ideal state, is it possible? |
55201 | If wealth and gain were the criterion, then the praise or* 582E* blame of the lover of gain would surely be the most trustworthy? |
55201 | Imitation 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? |
55201 | In prescribing meats and drinks would he wish to go beyond another physician or beyond the practice of medicine? |
55201 | In 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? |
55201 | In the next place our youth must be temperate? |
55201 | In these cases a man is not compelled to ask of thought the question what is a finger? |
55201 | In this both Plato and Khèyam rise above the level of many Christian(?) |
55201 | In what manner? |
55201 | In what manner? |
55201 | In what particulars? |
55201 | In what respect do you mean? |
55201 | In what respect? |
55201 | In what respects? |
55201 | In what way make allowance? |
55201 | In what way shown? |
55201 | In what way? |
55201 | Including the art of war? |
55201 | Indeed, Thrasymachus, and do I really appear to you to argue like an informer? |
55201 | Is God above or below the idea of good? |
55201 | Is any better than experience and wisdom and reason? |
55201 | Is any better than the old- fashioned sort which is comprehended under the name of music and gymnastic? |
55201 | Is he not a true image of the State which he represents? |
55201 | Is it a third, or akin to one of the preceding? |
55201 | Is it desirable?'' |
55201 | Is it for this that we are asked to throw away the civilization which is the growth of ages? |
55201 | Is 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? |
55201 | Is not Polemarchus your heir? |
55201 | Is not absolute injustice absolute weakness also? |
55201 | Is not honesty the best policy? |
55201 | Is not that still more disgraceful? |
55201 | Is not that true, Thrasymachus? |
55201 | Is 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? |
55201 | Is not the double also the half, and are not heavy and light relative terms which pass into one another? |
55201 | Is 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? |
55201 | Is not the noble youth very like a well- bred dog in respect of guarding and watching? |
55201 | Is not the strength of injustice only a remnant of justice? |
55201 | Is not this the case? |
55201 | Is not this the way-- he is the son of the miserly and oligarchical* 558D* father who has trained him in his own habits? |
55201 | Is not this true? |
55201 | Is not this unavoidable? |
55201 | Is not to have lost the truth an evil, and to possess the truth a good? |
55201 | Is that true? |
55201 | Is the relation between them one of mutual antagonism or of mutual harmony? |
55201 | Is there any State in which you will find more of lamentation and sorrow and groaning and pain? |
55201 | Is there any better criterion than experience and knowledge? |
55201 | Is there any city which he might name? |
55201 | Is there any other virtue remaining which can compete with wisdom and temperance and courage in the scale of political virtue? |
55201 | Is there anything more? |
55201 | Is there not rather a contradiction in him? |
55201 | Is this a pattern laid up in heaven, or mere vacancy on which he is supposed to gaze with wondering eye? |
55201 | Is this ideal at all the worse for being impracticable? |
55201 | It follows therefore that the good is not the cause of all things, but of the good only? |
55201 | It may also be called temperate, and for the same reasons? |
55201 | Italy and Sicily boast of Charondas, and there is Solon who is renowned among us; but what city has anything to say about you?'' |
55201 | Labouring in vain, he must end in hating himself and his fruitless occupation? |
55201 | Last comes the lover of gain? |
55201 | Let me ask you a question: Are not the several arts different, by reason of their each having a separate function? |
55201 | Let me explain: Can you see, except with the eye? |
55201 | Let us examine this: Is not pleasure opposed to pain, and is there not a mean state which is neither? |
55201 | Let us take any common instance; there are beds and* 596B* tables in the world-- plenty of them, are there not? |
55201 | Like husbandry for the acquisition of corn? |
55201 | Like 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? |
55201 | Look at the matter thus:--Hunger, thirst, and the like,* 585B* are inanitions of the bodily state? |
55201 | Male and female animals have the same pursuits-- why not also the two sexes of man? |
55201 | May I ask, Cephalus, whether your fortune was for the most part inherited or acquired by you? |
55201 | May I have the pleasure, he said, of hearing your opinion? |
55201 | May I suppose that you have this distinction of the visible and intelligible fixed in your mind? |
55201 | May it not be defined as a period of about twenty years in a woman''s life, and thirty in a man''s? |
55201 | May not the relation of sight to this deity be described as follows? |
55201 | May there not be the alternative, I said, that we may persuade you to let us go? |
55201 | May we not be satisfied with that? |
55201 | May we not say that these desires spend, and that the others make money because they conduce to production? |
55201 | May we not say that this is the end of a pruning- hook? |
55201 | May we say so, then? |
55201 | Must he not either perish at the hands of his enemies, or from being a man become a wolf-- that is, a tyrant? |
55201 | Must we not ask who are to be rulers and who subjects? |
55201 | Must 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? |
55201 | Nay, are they not wholly different? |
55201 | Need I ask again whether the eye has an end? |
55201 | Neither must they represent slaves, male or female, performing the offices of slaves? |
55201 | Neither will he ever break faith where there have been oaths or agreements? |
55201 | Neither, I said, can there be any question that the guardian who is to keep anything should have eyes rather than no eyes? |
55201 | Next as to the slain; ought the conquerors, I said, to take anything but their armour? |
55201 | Next, as to war; what are to be the relations of your soldiers to one another and to their enemies? |
55201 | Next, how shall our soldiers treat their enemies? |
55201 | Niebuhr has asked a trifling question, which may be briefly noticed in this place-- Was Plato a good citizen? |
55201 | No more than this? |
55201 | No one will be less likely to commit adultery, or to dishonour his father and mother, or to fail in his religious duties? |
55201 | No, 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? |
55201 | Nonsense, 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? |
55201 | Nor by reason of a knowledge which advises about brazen{ 118} pots, I said, nor as possessing any other similar knowledge? |
55201 | Nor can the good harm any one? |
55201 | Nor 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? |
55201 | Nor would you say that medicine is the art of receiving pay because a man takes fees when he is engaged in healing? |
55201 | Nor yet by reason of a knowledge which cultivates the earth; that would give the city the name of agricultural? |
55201 | Nor, if a man is to be in condition, would you allow him to have a Corinthian girl as his fair friend? |
55201 | Not to mention the importers and exporters, who are called merchants? |
55201 | Not, perhaps, in this brief span of life: but should an immortal being care about anything short of eternity? |
55201 | Now 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? |
55201 | Now in vessels which are in a state of mutiny and by sailors who are mutineers, how will the true pilot be regarded? |
55201 | Now 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? |
55201 | Now to which of these classes does temperance belong? |
55201 | Now what man answers to this form of government-- how did he come into being, and what is he like? |
55201 | Now what opinion of any other Sophist, or of any private person, can be expected to overcome in such an unequal contest? |
55201 | Now which is the purer satisfaction-- that of eating and drinking, or that of knowledge? |
55201 | Now why is such an inference erroneous? |
55201 | Now you understand me? |
55201 | Now, I beseech you, do tell me, have you ever attended to their pairing and breeding? |
55201 | Now, I said, every art has an interest? |
55201 | Now, are not the best husbandmen those who are most devoted to husbandry? |
55201 | Now, can we find justice without troubling ourselves about temperance? |
55201 | Now, in* 562E* such a State, can liberty have any limit? |
55201 | Now, ought a man to feel pleasure in seeing another do what he hates and abominates in himself? |
55201 | O my friend, is not that so? |
55201 | Of course you know that ambition and avarice are held to be, as indeed they are, a disgrace? |
55201 | Of not- being, ignorance was assumed to be the necessary correlative; of being, knowledge? |
55201 | Of the painter we say that he will paint reins, and he will paint a bit? |
55201 | Of the three individuals, which has the greatest experience of all the pleasures which we enumerated? |
55201 | Of what kind? |
55201 | Of what nature are you speaking? |
55201 | Of what nature? |
55201 | On what principle, then, shall we any longer choose justice rather than the worst injustice? |
55201 | Once more let me ask: Does he who desires any class of goods, desire the whole class or a part only? |
55201 | Once more then, O my friend, we have alighted upon an easy question-- whether the soul has these three principles or not? |
55201 | One of them is ready to follow the guidance of the law? |
55201 | One principle prevails in the souls of one class of men,* 581C* another in others, as may happen? |
55201 | Or any affinity to virtue in general? |
55201 | Or be jealous of one who has no jealousy? |
55201 | Or because a man is in good health when he receives pay you would not say that the art of payment is medicine? |
55201 | Or drought moisture? |
55201 | Or have the arts to look only* 342B* after their own interests? |
55201 | Or hear, except with the ear? |
55201 | Or if honour or victory or courage, in that case the judgment of the ambitious or pugnacious would be the truest? |
55201 | Or is the Idea of Good another mode of conceiving God? |
55201 | Or is there any{ cxlviii} Homeric way of life, such as the Pythagorean was, in which you instructed men, and which is called after you? |
55201 | Or like shoemaking for the acquisition of shoes,--that is what you mean? |
55201 | Or must we admit exceptions? |
55201 | Or perhaps he may tell a lie because he is afraid of enemies? |
55201 | Or shall I guess for you? |
55201 | Or shall the dead be despoiled? |
55201 | Or suppose a better sort of man who is attracted towards philosophy, will they not make Herculean efforts to spoil and corrupt him? |
55201 | Or that his nature, being such as we have delineated, is akin to the highest good? |
55201 | Or the horseman by his art make them bad horsemen? |
55201 | Or the verse''The saddest of fates is to die and meet destiny from hunger[22]''? |
55201 | Or was any war ever carried on by your counsels? |
55201 | Or what shall he profit by escaping discovery, if the concealment of evil prevents the cure? |
55201 | Or will they prefer those whom we have rejected? |
55201 | Or, 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? |
55201 | Or, if the master would not stay, then the disciples would have followed him about everywhere, until they had got education enough? |
55201 | Or{ 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? |
55201 | Ought I not to begin by describing how the change from timocracy to oligarchy arises? |
55201 | Ought 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? |
55201 | Parents and tutors are always telling their sons and their* 363A* wards that they are to be just; but why? |
55201 | Perhaps he of whom we say the last will be angry with us; can we pacify him without revealing the disorder of his mind? |
55201 | Presently he finds that imputations are cast upon them; a troublesome querist comes and asks,''What is the just and good?'' |
55201 | Reflect: is not the dreamer, sleeping or waking, one who likens dissimilar things, who puts the copy in the place of the real object? |
55201 | Reflect: when a man has an opinion, has he not an opinion about something? |
55201 | Salvation of what? |
55201 | Say, then, is not pleasure opposed to pain? |
55201 | Shall Hellenes be enslaved? |
55201 | Shall I assume that we ourselves are able and experienced judges and have before now met with such a person? |
55201 | Shall I give you an illustration? |
55201 | Shall I tell you why? |
55201 | Shall they listen to the narrative of Hephaestus binding his mother, and of Zeus sending him flying for helping her when she was beaten? |
55201 | Shall 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? |
55201 | Shall we begin education with music, and go on to gymnastic afterwards? |
55201 | Shall we not? |
55201 | Shall we propose, as a third branch of our education, astronomy? |
55201 | Shall we, after the manner of Homer, pray the Muses to tell us''how discord* 545E* first arose''? |
55201 | Shall we, then, speak of Him as the natural author or maker of the bed? |
55201 | Socrates proceeds: But where amid all this is justice? |
55201 | Socrates, what do you mean? |
55201 | Socrates, who is evidently preparing for an argument, next asks, What is the meaning of the word''justice''? |
55201 | Something that is; for how can that which is not ever be known? |
55201 | Still, I should like to ascertain how astronomy can be learned in any manner more conducive to that knowledge of which we are speaking? |
55201 | Still, the dangers of war can not be always foreseen; there is a good deal of chance about them? |
55201 | Such is the{ 105} tale; is there any possibility of making our citizens believe in it? |
55201 | Such will be the change, and after the change has been made,* 547D* how will they proceed? |
55201 | Such, then, are the palms of victory which the gods give the just? |
55201 | Suppose now that by the light of the examples just offered we enquire who this imitator is? |
55201 | Suppose we select an example of either kind, in order that we may have a general notion of them? |
55201 | Tell me, Thrasymachus, I said, did you mean by justice what the stronger thought to be his interest, whether really so or not? |
55201 | That is also good, he said; but I should like to know what you mean? |
55201 | That is his meaning then? |
55201 | That is quite true, he said; but to what are you alluding? |
55201 | That is to say, justice is useful when money is useless? |
55201 | That since beauty is the opposite of ugliness, they are two? |
55201 | That will be the way? |
55201 | The State which we have been describing is said to be wise as being good in counsel? |
55201 | The existence of such persons is to be attributed to want of education, ill- training, and an evil constitution of the State? |
55201 | The good which oligarchy proposed to itself and the means by which it was maintained was excess of wealth-- am I not right? |
55201 | The imitative artist will be in a brilliant state of intelligence about his own creations? |
55201 | The next question is, How shall we treat our enemies? |
55201 | The next question is, Who are to be our rulers? |
55201 | The object of one is food, and of the other drink? |
55201 | The one love and embrace the subjects of knowledge, the other those of opinion? |
55201 | The pleasure of eating is necessary in two ways; it does us good and it is essential to the continuance of life? |
55201 | The process is as follows: When a potter becomes rich, will he, think you, any longer take the same pains with his art? |
55201 | The question is asked,--Why are the citizens of states so hostile to philosophy? |
55201 | The second paradox leads up to some curious and interesting questions-- How far can the mind control the body? |
55201 | The soul, I said, being, as is now proven, immortal, must be the fairest of compositions and can not be compounded of many elements? |
55201 | The true lie is hated not only by the gods, but also by men? |
55201 | The true lover of learning then must from his earliest youth, as far as in him lies, desire all truth? |
55201 | The very great benefit has next to be established? |
55201 | The whole period of three score years and ten is surely but a little thing in comparison with eternity? |
55201 | Their pleasures are mixed with pains-- how can they be otherwise? |
55201 | Then I may infer courage to be such as you describe? |
55201 | Then I suppose that opinion appears to you to be darker than knowledge, but lighter than ignorance? |
55201 | Then I suppose that we ought to do good to the just and harm to the unjust? |
55201 | Then a city is not to be called wise because possessing a knowledge which counsels for the best about wooden implements? |
55201 | Then according to your argument it is just to injure those who do no wrong? |
55201 | Then an evil soul must necessarily be an evil ruler and superintendent, and the good soul a good ruler? |
55201 | Then are we to impose all our enactments on men and none of them on women? |
55201 | Then carpenters, and smiths, and many other artisans, will be sharers in our little State, which is already beginning to grow? |
55201 | Then clearly the next thing will be to make matrimony sacred in the highest degree, and what is most beneficial will be deemed sacred? |
55201 | Then comparing our original city, which was under a king, and the city which is under a tyrant, how do they stand as to virtue? |
55201 | Then he can hardly be compelled by external influence to take many shapes? |
55201 | Then he who is a good keeper of anything is also a good thief? |
55201 | Then 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? |
55201 | Then he will no more have true opinion than he will have knowledge about the goodness or badness of his imitations? |
55201 | Then hirelings will help to make up our population? |
55201 | Then how can he who has magnificence of mind and is the spectator of all time and all existence, think much of human life? |
55201 | Then if being is the subject- matter of knowledge, something else must be the subject- matter of opinion? |
55201 | Then if geometry compels us to view being, it concerns us; if becoming only, it does not concern us? |
55201 | Then if the constitutions of States are five, the dispositions of individual minds will also be five? |
55201 | Then in every way the laws will help the citizens to keep the peace with one another? |
55201 | Then in making their laws they may sometimes make them rightly, and sometimes not? |
55201 | Then in this case the narrative of the poet may be said to proceed by way of imitation? |
55201 | Then in time of peace justice will be of no use? |
55201 | Then in time of peace what is the good of justice? |
55201 | Then it will be our duty to select, if we can, natures which are fitted for the task of guarding the city? |
55201 | Then knowledge and opinion having distinct powers have also distinct spheres or subject- matters? |
55201 | Then men who are injured are of necessity made unjust? |
55201 | Then more husbandmen and more artisans will be required? |
55201 | Then must not a further admission be made? |
55201 | Then no intemperance or madness should be allowed to approach true love? |
55201 | Then no motive can be imagined why God should lie? |
55201 | Then now comes the question,--How shall we create our rulers; what way is there from darkness to light? |
55201 | Then on this view also justice will be admitted to be the having and doing what is a man''s own, and belongs to him? |
55201 | Then opinion and knowledge have to do with different kinds of matter corresponding to this difference of faculties? |
55201 | Then opinion is not concerned either with being or with not- being? |
55201 | Then 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? |
55201 | Then shall we try to find some way of convincing him, if we can, that he is saying what is not true? |
55201 | Then the art of war partakes of them? |
55201 | Then the community of wives and children among our citizens is clearly the source of the greatest good to the State? |
55201 | Then the cowardly and mean nature has no part in true philosophy? |
55201 | Then the intermediate state of rest will be pleasure and will also be pain? |
55201 | Then the just is happy, and the unjust miserable? |
55201 | Then the just is like the wise and good, and the unjust like the evil and ignorant? |
55201 | Then the just soul and the just man will live well, and the unjust man will live ill? |
55201 | Then the lover of wisdom has a great advantage over the lover of gain, for he has a double experience? |
55201 | Then the lying poet has no place in our idea of God? |
55201 | Then 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? |
55201 | Then the sun is not sight, but the author of sight who is recognised by sight? |
55201 | Then the tyrant is removed from true pleasure by the space of a number which is three times three? |
55201 | Then the tyrant will live at the greatest distance from true or natural pleasure, and the king at the least? |
55201 | Then the wise and good will not desire to gain more than his like, but more than his unlike and opposite? |
55201 | Then the world can not possibly be a philosopher? |
55201 | Then there is nothing impossible or out of the order of nature in our finding a guardian who has a similar combination of qualities? |
55201 | Then there must be another class of citizens who will bring the required supply from another city? |
55201 | Then they will quarrel as those who intend some day to be reconciled? |
55201 | Then this is the progress which you call dialectic? |
55201 | Then this new kind of knowledge must have an additional quality? |
55201 | Then to injure a friend or any one else is not the act of a just man, but of the opposite, who is the unjust? |
55201 | Then to them the good will be enemies and the evil will be their friends? |
55201 | Then virtue is the health and beauty and well- being of the* 444E* soul, and vice the disease and weakness and deformity of the same? |
55201 | Then we have found the desired natures; and now that we have found them, how are they to be reared and educated? |
55201 | Then we have made an enactment not only possible but in the highest degree beneficial to the State? |
55201 | Then we may assume that our athletes will be able to fight with two or three times their own number? |
55201 | Then we may begin by assuming that there are three classes of men-- lovers of wisdom, lovers of honour, lovers of gain? |
55201 | Then we must abstain from spoiling the dead or hindering their burial? |
55201 | Then we shall want merchants? |
55201 | Then what is that joint use of silver or gold in which the just man is to be preferred? |
55201 | Then what is your meaning? |
55201 | Then what will you do with them? |
55201 | Then when the person who asks me is not in his right mind I am by no means to make the return? |
55201 | Then who is more miserable? |
55201 | Then why should you mind? |
55201 | Then will not the citizens be good and civilized? |
55201 | Then women must be taught music and gymnastic and also the art of war, which they must practise like the men? |
55201 | Then you never heard of the saying of Phocylides, that as soon as a man has a livelihood he should practise virtue? |
55201 | Then 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? |
55201 | Then you would infer that opinion is intermediate? |
55201 | Then, 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? |
55201 | Then, 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? |
55201 | Then, again, within the city, how will they exchange their{ 52} productions? |
55201 | Then, do you see any way in which the philosopher can* 494B* be preserved in his calling to the end? |
55201 | Then, 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? |
55201 | Then, if women are to have the same duties as men, they* 452A* must have the same nurture and education? |
55201 | Then, under the influence either of poverty or of wealth, workmen and their work are equally liable to degenerate? |
55201 | There is a thing which you call good and another which you call evil? |
55201 | There is another which is the work of the carpenter? |
55201 | There 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? |
55201 | There may come a time when the saying,''Have I not a right to do what I will with my own?'' |
55201 | There were two parts in our former scheme of education,* 521E* were there not? |
55201 | There 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? |
55201 | These are the three styles-- which of them is to be admitted into our State? |
55201 | These matters, however, as I was saying, had better be referred to Damon himself, for the analysis of the subject would be difficult, you know? |
55201 | These then may be truly said to be the ends of these organs? |
55201 | These, then, are the two kinds of style? |
55201 | They are like faces which were never really beautiful, but only blooming; and now the bloom of youth has passed away from them? |
55201 | They will use friendly correction, but will not enslave or destroy their opponents; they will be correctors, not enemies? |
55201 | The{ 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? |
55201 | This, I said, is he who begins to make a party against the rich? |
55201 | Thus much of music, which makes a fair ending; for what should be the end of music if not the love of beauty? |
55201 | To be sure, he said; how can he think otherwise? |
55201 | To return to the tyrant-- How will he support that rare army of his? |
55201 | To tell the truth and pay your debts? |
55201 | To what do you refer? |
55201 | True, I said; but would you never allow them to run any risk? |
55201 | True, he replied; but what of that? |
55201 | True, he said; how could they see anything but the* 515B* shadows if they were never allowed to move their heads? |
55201 | Undoubtedly; and yet if music and gymnastic are excluded, and the arts are also excluded, what remains? |
55201 | Union 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? |
55201 | Until some one rare and grand result is reached which may be good, and may be the reverse of good? |
55201 | Very good, I said; then what is the next question? |
55201 | Very 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? |
55201 | Very true, Adeimantus; but then, would any one, whether God or man, desire to make himself worse? |
55201 | Very true, he said; but what are these forms of theology which you mean? |
55201 | Very true, said Adeimantus; but how does the illustration* 368E* apply to our enquiry? |
55201 | Was not the selection of the male guardians determined by differences of this sort? |
55201 | Was not this the beginning of the enquiry''What is great?'' |
55201 | We acknowledged-- did we not? |
55201 | We 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? |
55201 | We had to consider, first, whether our proposals were possible, and secondly whether they were the most beneficial? |
55201 | We 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? |
55201 | We were saying that the parents should be in the prime of life? |
55201 | We were saying, when we spoke of the subject- matter, that we had no need of lamentation and strains of sorrow? |
55201 | Well 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? |
55201 | Well then, is not- being the subject- matter of opinion? |
55201 | Well then, you would admit that the qualities of states mean the qualities of the individuals who compose them? |
55201 | Well, I said, and how does the change from oligarchy into democracy arise? |
55201 | Well, I said, and in oligarchical States do you not find paupers? |
55201 | Well, I said, and is there no evil which corrupts the soul? |
55201 | Well, I said, the subject has several difficulties-- What is possible? |
55201 | Well, 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? |
55201 | Well, and are these of any military use? |
55201 | Well, and can the eyes fulfil their end if they are{ 34} wanting* 353C* in their own proper excellence and have a defect instead? |
55201 | Well, and do you think that those who say so are wrong? |
55201 | Well, and is not this one quality, to mention no others, greatly at variance with present notions of him? |
55201 | Well, and your guardian must be brave if he is to fight well? |
55201 | Well, but can you imagine that God will be willing to lie, whether in word or deed, or to put forth a phantom of himself? |
55201 | Well, but has any one a right to say positively what he does not know? |
55201 | Well, 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? |
55201 | Well, but what ought to be the criterion? |
55201 | Well, he said, have you never heard that forms of government differ; there are tyrannies, and there are democracies, and there are aristocracies? |
55201 | Well, you know of course that the greater is relative to the less? |
55201 | Well; and has not the soul an end which nothing else can fulfil? |
55201 | Were not these your words? |
55201 | What about this? |
55201 | What admission? |
55201 | What admissions? |
55201 | What are these corruptions? |
55201 | What are they, he said, and where shall I find them? |
55201 | What are they? |
55201 | What are they? |
55201 | What are they? |
55201 | What are you going to say? |
55201 | What causes? |
55201 | What defect? |
55201 | What did I borrow? |
55201 | What division? |
55201 | What do they say? |
55201 | What do you deserve to have done to you? |
55201 | What do you mean, Socrates? |
55201 | What do you mean? |
55201 | What do you mean? |
55201 | What do you mean? |
55201 | What do you mean? |
55201 | What do you mean? |
55201 | What do you mean? |

55201 | What do you mean? |
55201 | What do you mean? |
55201 | What do you mean? |
55201 | What do you mean? |
55201 | What do you mean? |
55201 | What do you mean? |
55201 | What do you mean? |
55201 | What do you mean? |
55201 | What do you mean? |
55201 | What do you mean? |
55201 | What do you say? |
55201 | What do you say? |
55201 | What do you say? |
55201 | What do you say?'' |
55201 | What do you think? |
55201 | What else can they do? |
55201 | What else then would you say? |
55201 | What else would you have? |
55201 | What evil? |
55201 | What evils? |
55201 | What faculty? |
55201 | What good? |
55201 | What is desirable? |
55201 | What is it? |
55201 | What is it? |
55201 | What is it? |
55201 | What is most required? |
55201 | What is that you are saying? |
55201 | What is that? |
55201 | What is that? |
55201 | What is that? |
55201 | What is that? |
55201 | What is that? |
55201 | What is that? |
55201 | What is that? |
55201 | What is the difference? |
55201 | What is the process? |
55201 | What is the proposition? |
55201 | What is there remaining? |
55201 | What is to be done then? |
55201 | What is your illustration? |
55201 | What is your notion? |
55201 | What is your proposal? |
55201 | What limit would you propose? |
55201 | What makes you say that? |
55201 | What may that be? |
55201 | What may that be? |
55201 | What may that be? |
55201 | What 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? |
55201 | What point of view? |
55201 | What point? |
55201 | What principle of rival Sophists or anybody else can overcome in such an unequal contest? |
55201 | What quality? |
55201 | What quality? |
55201 | What question? |
55201 | What shall he profit, if his injustice be undetected and unpunished? |
55201 | What shall we say to him? |
55201 | What should they fear? |
55201 | What sort of instances do you mean? |
55201 | What sort of knowledge is there which would draw the soul from becoming to being? |
55201 | What sort of lie? |
55201 | What sort of mischief? |
55201 | What study do you mean-- of the prelude, or what? |
55201 | What tale? |
55201 | What the poets and story- tellers say-- that the wicked prosper and the righteous are afflicted, or that justice is another''s gain? |
55201 | What then is the real object of them? |
55201 | What then was his meaning?] |
55201 | What then? |
55201 | What trait? |
55201 | What was the error, Polemarchus? |
55201 | What was the mistake? |
55201 | What was the omission? |
55201 | What way? |
55201 | What will be the issue of such marriages? |
55201 | What will they doubt? |
55201 | What, Thrasymachus, is the meaning of this? |
55201 | What, again, is the meaning of light and heavy, if that which is light is also heavy, and that which is heavy, light? |
55201 | What, are there any greater still? |
55201 | What, he said, is there a knowledge still higher than this-- higher than justice and the other virtues? |
55201 | What, now, I said, if he were able to run away and then* 422C* turn and strike at the one who first came up? |
55201 | What, then, is the nature of dialectic, and what are the paths which lead thither?'' |
55201 | What? |
55201 | When Simonides said that the repayment of a debt was justice, he did not mean to include that case? |
55201 | When 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? |
55201 | When horses are injured, are they improved or deteriorated? |
55201 | When is this accomplished? |
55201 | When 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? |
55201 | When they make them rightly, they make them agreeably to their interest; when they are mistaken, contrary to their interest; you admit that? |
55201 | Where must I look? |
55201 | Where then is he to gain experience? |
55201 | Where then? |
55201 | Where, then, is justice, and where is injustice, and in what part of the State did they spring up? |
55201 | Whereas 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? |
55201 | Whereas the bad and ignorant will desire to gain more than both? |
55201 | Whereas the physician and the carpenter have different natures? |
55201 | Whereas true love is a love of beauty and order-- temperate and harmonious? |
55201 | Which appetites do you mean? |
55201 | Which are they? |
55201 | Which is a just principle? |
55201 | Which of us has spoken truly? |
55201 | Which years do you mean to include? |
55201 | Who better suited to raise the question of justice than Cephalus, whose life might seem to be the expression of it? |
55201 | Who 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? |
55201 | Who can hate a man who loves him? |
55201 | Who can measure probabilities against certainties? |
55201 | Who can weigh virtue, or even fortune against health, or moral and mental qualities against bodily? |
55201 | Who is it, I said, whom you are refusing to let off? |
55201 | Who is that? |
55201 | Who that is not a miserable caitiff will refrain from smiling at the praises of justice? |
55201 | Who then are those whom we shall compel to be guardians? |
55201 | Who then can be a guardian? |
55201 | Who was that? |
55201 | Whom, I said, are you{ lxx} not going to let off? |
55201 | Whose is that light which makes the eye to see perfectly and the visible to appear? |
55201 | Whose? |
55201 | Why do you ask such a question, I said, when you ought rather to be answering? |
55201 | Why do you ask? |
55201 | Why do you say so? |
55201 | Why great caution? |
55201 | Why indeed, he said, when any name will do which expresses the thought of the mind with clearness? |
55201 | Why is that? |
55201 | Why not? |
55201 | Why not? |
55201 | Why not? |
55201 | Why should he? |
55201 | Why should they not be? |
55201 | Why so? |
55201 | Why so? |
55201 | Why so? |
55201 | Why so? |
55201 | Why, I replied, what do you want more? |
55201 | Why, I said, do you not see that men are unwillingly deprived of good, and willingly of evil? |
55201 | Why, I said, what was ever great in a short time? |
55201 | Why, in the first place, although they are all of a good sort, are not some better than others? |
55201 | Why, what else is there? |
55201 | Why, yes, I said, of course they answer truly; how can the Muses speak falsely? |
55201 | Why, yes, he said: how can any reasonable being ever identify that which is infallible with that which errs? |
55201 | Why, you do not mean to say that the tyrant will use violence? |
55201 | Why? |
55201 | Why? |
55201 | Why? |
55201 | Why? |
55201 | Will any one deny the other point, that there may be sons of kings or princes who are by nature philosophers? |
55201 | Will any private training enable him to stand firm against the overwhelming flood of popular opinion? |
55201 | Will he know from use whether or no his drawing is correct or beautiful? |
55201 | Will he not also require natural aptitude for his calling? |
55201 | Will he not be called by them a prater, a star- gazer, a good- for- nothing? |
55201 | Will he not fancy that the shadows which he formerly saw are truer than the objects which are now shown to him? |
55201 | Will 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? |
55201 | Will he not rather obtain them on the spot? |
55201 | Will he not think that heaven and the things in heaven are framed by the{ 233} Creator of them in the most perfect manner? |
55201 | Will he not utterly hate a lie? |
55201 | Will horsemen carry torches and pass them one to another during the race? |
55201 | Will not a young man''s heart leap amid these discordant sounds? |
55201 | Will not the guardians be the smallest of all the classes who receive a name from the profession of some kind of knowledge? |
55201 | Will 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? |
55201 | Will our citizens ever believe all this? |
55201 | Will the creature feel any compunction at tyrannizing over them? |
55201 | Will the just man or citizen ever be guilty of sacrilege or theft, or treachery either to his friends or to his country? |
55201 | Will the just state or the just individual* 443* steal, lie, commit adultery, or be guilty of impiety to gods and men? |
55201 | Will they disbelieve us, when we tell them that no State can be happy which is not designed by artists who imitate the heavenly pattern? |
55201 | Will they doubt that the philosopher is a lover of truth and being? |
55201 | Will they not be vile and bastard, devoid of truth and nature? |
55201 | Will they not be vile and bastard? |
55201 | Will they not produce corn, and wine, and clothes, and shoes, and build houses for themselves? |
55201 | Will you admit so much? |
55201 | Will you enquire yourself? |
55201 | Will you explain your meaning? |
55201 | Will you repay me, then, what you borrowed in the argument? |
55201 | Will you say whether you approve of my proposal? |
55201 | Will you tell me? |
55201 | Will you tell me? |
55201 | Will you then kindly answer, for the edification of the company and of myself? |
55201 | Would 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? |
55201 | Would any one deny this? |
55201 | Would he allow imitation to be the ruling principle of his life, as if he had* 599B* nothing higher in him? |
55201 | Would he not have had many devoted followers? |
55201 | Would he not rather say or do the same as his like in the same case? |
55201 | Would not he who is fitted to be a guardian, besides the spirited nature, need to have the qualities of a philosopher? |
55201 | Would that be your way of speaking? |
55201 | Would the picture of a perfectly beautiful man be any the worse because no such man ever lived? |
55201 | Would 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? |
55201 | Would you call one of them virtue and the other vice? |
55201 | Would you have me put the proof bodily into your souls? |
55201 | Would you like, for the sake of clearness, to distinguish which are the necessary and which are the unnecessary pleasures? |
55201 | Would you say that all men are equal in excellence, or is one man better than another? |
55201 | Would you say that knowledge is a faculty, or in what class would you place it? |
55201 | Yes, I said, a jest; and why? |
55201 | Yes, I said; and the higher principle is ready to follow this suggestion of reason? |
55201 | Yes, I said; and this being true of one must be equally true of all number? |
55201 | Yes, 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? |
55201 | Yes, I said; but if this definition of justice also breaks down, what other can be offered? |
55201 | Yes, Socrates, he said, and if you were providing for a city of pigs, how else would you feed the beasts? |
55201 | Yes, but also something more-- Is it not doubtful whether our guardians are to be imitators at all? |
55201 | Yes, but could this ever have happened if Homer had really been the educator of Hellas? |
55201 | Yes, but do not persons often err about good and evil: many who are not good seem to be so, and conversely? |
55201 | Yes, he replied, such is very often the case; but what has that to do with us and our argument? |
55201 | Yes, he said, that sort of thing is certainly very blameable; but what are the stories which you mean? |
55201 | Yes, he said; but what are the characteristics of this form* 551C* of government, and what are the defects of which we were speaking[6]? |
55201 | Yes, he said; how can I deny it? |
55201 | Yes, the greatest; but will you explain yourself? |
55201 | Yes; and is not this true of the government of anything[7]? |
55201 | Yes; but how in such partnerships is the just man of more use than any other man? |
55201 | Yet if he is not the maker, what is he in relation to the bed? |
55201 | Yet of all the organs of sense the eye is the most like the sun? |
55201 | You are aware, I suppose, that all mythology and poetry is a narration of events, either past, present, or to come? |
55201 | You are further aware that most people affirm pleasure to be the good, but the finer sort of wits say it is knowledge? |
55201 | You have answered me, I replied: Well, and may we not* 456E* further say that our guardians are the best of our citizens? |
55201 | You know that they live securely and have nothing to apprehend from their servants? |
55201 | You mean geometry? |
55201 | You mean that they would shipwreck? |
55201 | You mean that you do not understand the nature of this* 347B* payment which to the best men is the great inducement to rule? |
55201 | You mean to say that the people, from whom he has derived his being, will maintain him and his companions? |
55201 | You mean when money is not wanted, but allowed to lie? |
55201 | You mean, I suspect, to ask whether tragedy and comedy shall be admitted into our State? |
55201 | You recognise the truth of what I have been saying? |
55201 | You remember what people say when they are sick? |
55201 | You remember, I said, how the rulers were chosen before? |
55201 | You say that perfect injustice is more gainful than perfect justice? |
55201 | You would agree with me? |
55201 | You would argue that the good are our friends and the bad our enemies? |
55201 | You would compare them, I said, to those invalids who, having no self- restraint, will not leave off their habits of intemperance? |
55201 | You 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? |
55201 | You 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 | and he who has tyrannized longest and most, most continually and truly miserable; although this may not be the opinion of men in general? |
55201 | and how does he live, in happiness or in misery? |
