32 III, 1 | I also yield to them the knowledge and learning of the truth,
33 III, 3 | consist of two subjects, knowledge and conjecture, and of nothing
34 III, 3 | conjecture, and of nothing more. Knowledge cannot come from the understanding,
35 III, 3 | thought; because to have knowledge in oneself as a peculiar
36 III, 3 | mortals does not receive knowledge, except that which comes
37 III, 3 | that by these entrances knowledge might flow through to the
38 III, 3 | should claim to ourselves knowledge in a matter of this kind,
39 III, 3 | followed him, take away knowledge, which is not the part of
40 III, 3 | only; for that from which knowledge is absent, is entirely occupied
41 III, 3 | know the truth, because knowledge is concerned with that which
42 III, 4 | IV. THAT KNOWLEDGE IS TAKEN AWAY BY SOCRATES,
43 III, 4 | which claims to itself knowledge; the other a new one, opposed
44 III, 4 | be no inner and peculiar knowledge in man on account of the
45 III, 5 | V. THAT THE KNOWLEDGE OF MANY THINGS IS NECESSARY.~
46 III, 5 | which is not dependent on knowledge. Therefore Arcesilas ought,
47 III, 5 | peculiar property of which is knowledge. And thus, when he overcame
48 III, 5 | ignorant, ought himself to have knowledge; but when he knows nothing,
49 III, 6 | belongs to man, that is, knowledge united and combined with
50 III, 6 | combined with ignorance. Knowledge in us is from the soul,
51 III, 6 | with darkness, a part of knowledge is given to us, and a part
52 III, 6 | philosophers, that there was no knowledge; and satisfied with the
53 III, 6 | taken away the whole of knowledge, because they had taken
54 III, 6 | were manifest, retained knowledge; as if they had defended
55 III, 6 | to retain or to take away knowledge only, did not see that there
56 III, 6 | teaches that there is no knowledge, when he was detracting
57 III, 6 | foolish, who imagine that the knowledge of the truth can be arrived
58 III, 6 | endeavouring to do this without a knowledge of the truth, introduced
59 III, 6 | nothing at all, the very knowledge that nothing can be known
60 III, 6 | he may even lose ordinary knowledge? For if this learning exists,
61 III, 6 | must necessarily consist of knowledge; if it does not exist, who
62 III, 7 | chief good of Herillus is knowledge; that of Zeno, to live agreeably
63 III, 8 | the point, they have no knowledge of God. Why, therefore,
64 III, 8 | its nature. He who made knowledge the chief good, gave something
65 III, 8 | to man; but men desire I knowledge for the sake of something
66 III, 8 | some advantage from his knowledge? The arts are learned for
67 III, 8 | make, whether we consider knowledge to be the chief good, or
68 III, 8 | those very things which knowledge produces from itself, that
69 III, 8 | But if those things which knowledge produces are common to man
70 III, 8 | animals, it follows that knowledge is not the chief good. Moreover,
71 III, 8 | this definition that bare knowledge is set forth. For all will
72 III, 8 | happy who shall have the knowledge of any art, even those who
73 III, 8 | therefore, to what subject knowledge is to be referred. If to
74 III, 8 | these subjects there is no knowledge, but mere conjecture, which
75 III, 8 | It only remains that the knowledge of good and evil things
76 III, 8 | Why, then, did he call knowledge the chief good more than
77 III, 8 | properly have been said. For knowledge is insufficient for the
78 III, 8 | But virtue united with knowledge is wisdom. It remains that
79 III, 9 | the lot of any one without knowledge and virtue. Now this limitation
80 III, 10 | except man which has any knowledge of God; and among men themselves,
81 III, 11 | have instructed them to the knowledge of the truth. Thus men who
82 III, 12 | one without the virtue of knowledge, that is, without the knowledge
83 III, 12 | knowledge, that is, without the knowledge of God and justice. And
84 III, 12 | who have embraced either knowledge or virtue as the chief good,
85 III, 12 | that which is sought for. Knowledge causes us to know by what
86 III, 12 | is of no avail; for from knowledge arises virtue, and from
87 III, 13 | being destitute of divine knowledge, they neither brought forward
88 III, 13 | grammarian or the orator, whose knowledge is concerned with the proper
89 III, 13 | that wisdom itself is the knowledge of things divine and human,
90 III, 13 | and copious defence the knowledge of divinity and the truth
91 III, 15 | rule, entirely takes away knowledge. Therefore all those things
92 III, 15 | instruction not a display of knowledge, but a law of life! how
93 III, 16 | fountains of virtue and knowledge, yet, when compared with
94 III, 20 | XX. SOCRATES HAD MORE KNOWLEDGE IN PHILOSOPHY THAN OTHER
95 III, 27 | nothing which proceeds from knowledge. But since all things are
96 III, 28 | condition can depend but the knowledge of God who created us, and
97 III, 28 | confess that they neither have knowledge nor wisdom? For if at any
98 III, 28 | who claimed for themselves knowledge were able consistently to
99 III, 29 | himself and all men had knowledge. Then he who endeavours
100 III, 29 | be able to attain to the knowledge of the divine name, in which
101 III, 29 | not indeed know virtue the knowledge of which is derived from
102 III, 30 | TO TRUE WISDOM, AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUE GOD, IN WHICH
103 III, 30 | consists in this alone, the knowledge and worship of God: this
104 IV, 3 | that is, to complete our knowledge by deed and action. Where,
105 IV, 4 | religion follows; for the knowledge of God comes first, His
106 IV, 4 | worship is the result of knowledge. Thus in the two names there
107 IV, 5 | error when he has gained the knowledge of the truth.~
108 IV, 8 | not created to teach the knowledge of God, but for His service.
109 IV, 8 | about to be a teacher of the knowledge of God, and of the heavenly
110 IV, 13 | found out all the way of knowledge, and hath given it unto
111 IV, 13 | of might, the spirit of knowledge and of piety; and He shall
112 IV, 14 | and vain worship to the knowledge and worship of the true
113 IV, 16 | his boast that he has the knowledge of God; and he calleth himself
114 IV, 22 | not instructed in the true knowledge of heavenly learning. But,
115 IV, 22 | or avoid by His divine knowledge, the hands of men? why did
116 IV, 23 | the greatest learning and knowledge. And this indeed was true.
117 IV, 24 | would be as perfect in the knowledge of all things as in virtue,
118 IV, 24 | His divine nature gives knowledge, and His immortality gives
119 IV, 26 | death, being animated by the knowledge of the true light, might
120 IV, 26 | impious nation, when, by the knowledge of the future which He had,
121 IV, 27 | call them away from the knowledge of the true God, by which
122 IV, 30 | foretold, fell away from the knowledge of God, and left the true
123 V, 1 | studious; so that now the knowledge of literature may not only
124 V, 4 | away by his distinguished knowledge of the sacred writings,
125 V, 5 | taken away, men lost the knowledge of good and evil. Thus the
126 V, 15 | character, had possessed knowledge also, in proportion to their
127 V, 15 | God, and the sum of this knowledge is that you worship Him,
128 V, 15 | who does not possess the knowledge of God. For how can he know
129 V, 18 | had been aided also by a knowledge of divine things. Thus their
130 V, 18 | otherwise, although he has the knowledge of right and wrong. But
131 V, 18 | evil. But man, who has the knowledge of good and evil, abstains
132 V, 19 | supposed; for you had no knowledge of the sacred writings.
133 VI, 1 | resources. For they have no knowledge of anything except the earth,
134 VI, 4 | self-restraint, concord, knowledge, truth, wisdom, and the
135 VI, 5 | AND TRUE VIRTUE; AND OF KNOWLEDGE.~But before I begin to set
136 VI, 5 | above-mentioned treatise. But knowledge cannot be virtue, because
137 VI, 5 | property of each individual. Knowledge therefore consists in a
138 VI, 5 | strength for walking, so truly knowledge is of no avail if our virtue
139 VI, 5 | things. Therefore that the knowledge of good and evil is one
140 VI, 5 | appears from this, because knowledge can exist without virtue,
141 VI, 5 | punished. Therefore, as the knowledge of good and evil is not
142 VI, 5 | evil is virtue. And yet [knowledge is so united with virtue,
143 VI, 5 | united with virtue, that knowledge precedes virtue, and virtue
144 VI, 5 | virtue, and virtue follows knowledge; because knowledge is of
145 VI, 5 | follows knowledge; because knowledge is of no avail unless it
146 VI, 5 | offices of each subject, knowledge is to know God, virtue is
147 VI, 6 | GOOD AND VIRTUE, AND Or KNOWLEDGE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS.~I have
148 VI, 6 | the first thing, that the knowledge of good is not virtue; and
149 VI, 8 | man far removed from the knowledge of the truth has set forth
150 VI, 9 | good; since God, from the knowledge of whom he shrinks, is Himself
151 VI, 9 | this who is not without the knowledge of God, but yet lives unjustly.
152 VI, 9 | capable of sensation, both the knowledge of God is necessary, as
153 VI, 9 | naturally good, yet have no knowledge and no intelligence. All
154 VI, 9 | is the Head of virtue and knowledge; and he who is ignorant
155 VI, 18 | ignorance as the greatest knowledge; or who, inasmuch as they
156 VI, 21 | that we might gain the knowledge of God. Therefore, if it
157 VII, 1 | that they had so slight a knowledge of it, that they by no means
158 VII, 2 | and proved without the knowledge of the truth and of heavenly
159 VII, 2 | heavenly things. And this knowledge, as I have often said already,
160 VII, 2 | attain to the conception and knowledge of the truth; inasmuch as
161 VII, 2 | perceive the truth, the knowledge of which belongs to the
162 VII, 2 | But man cannot attain this knowledge by reflection or disputation,
163 VII, 5 | separated. Finally, the knowledge of good and of evil was
164 VII, 5 | that he had received the knowledge of good and evil, it was
165 VII, 7 | unless he has experience and knowledge of the truth. But to know
166 VII, 8 | foresight of the future, and its knowledge of innumerable arts and
167 VII, 9 | other animal which has any knowledge of God; and religion is
168 VII, 9 | is nothing else but the knowledge of God, it is evident that
169 VII, 12 | flesh, does not possess knowledge, which belongs to divinity.
170 VII, 14 | Scriptures instuct to the knowledge of the truth, know the beginning
171 VII, 17 | from God to turn men to the knowledge of God, and he shall receive
