Dialogue

 1 Charm|            and of what he does not know. But this is contrary to
 2 Charm|          But even if knowledge can know itself, how does the knowledge
 3 Charm|           the knowledge of what we know imply the knowledge of what
 4 Charm|        knowledge of what we do not know? Besides, knowledge is an
 5 Charm|            us that we or other men know something, but can never
 6 Charm|          can never tell us what we know.~Admitting that there is
 7 Charm|          is a knowledge of what we know and of what we do not know,
 8 Charm|         know and of what we do not know, which would supply a rule
 9 Charm|          the knowledge of what you know is the same as the knowledge
10 Charm|       knowledge of what you do not know; and also in the distinction
11 Charm|      distinction between ‘what you know’ and ‘that you know,’ (Greek;)
12 Charm|            you know’ and ‘that you know,’ (Greek;) here too is the
13 Charm|           the knowledge of what we know and do not know, or of the
14 Charm|            what we know and do not know, or of the knowledge of
15 Charm|            I rather think that you know him too, although he was
16 Charm|            departure.~Certainly, I know him, I said, for he was
17 Charm|         Charmides entered.~Now you know, my friend, that I cannot
18 Charm|          make him believe that you know a cure for the headache?~
19 Charm|         with an effort, that I did know.~And what is it? he said.~
20 Charm|            you quite sure that you know my name?~I ought to know
21 Charm|           know my name?~I ought to know you, he replied, for there
22 Charm|         head. But if not, I do not know what I am to do with you,
23 Charm|             and therefore I do not know how to answer you.~I said
24 Charm|          that I think is true.~You know your native language, I
25 Charm|         true; but I should like to know what you think about another
26 Charm|         thinking that no one would know the meaning of the words ‘
27 Charm|             may well be assumed to know the meaning of them; and
28 Charm|        saying; but I am curious to know whether you imagine that
29 Charm|          the physician necessarily know when his treatment is likely
30 Charm|          the craftsman necessarily know when he is likely to be
31 Charm|           do good or harm, and not know what he is himself doing,
32 Charm|         wise or temperate, but not know his own wisdom or temperance?~
33 Charm|     temperate or wise who does not know himself; and I am not ashamed
34 Charm|        dedicated the inscription, ‘Know thyself!’ at Delphi. That
35 Charm|          in a sort of riddle, for ‘Know thyself!’ and ‘Be temperate!’
36 Charm|            for they imagined that ‘Know thyself!’ was a piece of
37 Charm|    previous discussion (in which I know not whether you or I are
38 Charm|           as though I professed to know about the questions which
39 Charm|        time, just because I do not know; and when I have enquired,
40 Charm|          that?~Yes.~Now, I want to know, what is that which is not
41 Charm|   temperate man, and he only, will know himself, and be able to
42 Charm|          what he knows or does not know, and to see what others
43 Charm|             and to see what others know and think that they know
44 Charm|           know and think that they know and do really know; and
45 Charm|            they know and do really know; and what they do not know,
46 Charm|         know; and what they do not know, and fancy that they know,
47 Charm|          know, and fancy that they know, when they do not. No other
48 Charm|        self-knowledge—for a man to know what he knows, and what
49 Charm|        knows, and what he does not know. That is your meaning?~Yes,
50 Charm|           possible for a person to know that he knows and does not
51 Charm|         that he knows and does not know what he knows and does not
52 Charm|         what he knows and does not know; and in the second place,
53 Charm|        should not.~Or did you ever know of a fear which fears itself
54 Charm|          us to distinguish what we know or do not know, which, as
55 Charm| distinguish what we know or do not know, which, as we were saying,
56 Charm|          he who has knowledge will know. In the same way he who
57 Charm|        which is self-knowing, will know himself.~I do not doubt,
58 Charm|            I said, that a man will know himself, when he possesses
59 Charm|             having this, he should know what he knows and what he
60 Charm|         knows and what he does not know?~Because, Socrates, they
61 Charm|          how this knowing what you know and do not know is the same
62 Charm|           what you know and do not know is the same as the knowledge
63 Charm|   probability is that he will only know that he knows something,
64 Charm|            or science teach him to know what he knows? Say that
65 Charm|          of these things will only know that he knows, but not what
66 Charm|       things which we do or do not know, but only the knowledge
67 Charm|         only the knowledge that we know or do not know?~That is
68 Charm|   knowledge that we know or do not know?~That is the inference.~
69 Charm|        pretender knows or does not know that which he says that
70 Charm|        that he knows: he will only know that he has a knowledge
71 Charm|        must infer that he does not know anything of medicine.~Exactly.~
72 Charm|            the wise man may indeed know that the physician has some
73 Charm|        knows from one who does not know but pretends or thinks that
74 Charm|         other artist, he will only know his fellow in art or wisdom,
75 Charm|           what he knew and did not know, and that he knew the one
76 Charm|           knew the one and did not know the other, and to recognize
77 Charm|    attempted to do what we did not know, but we should have found
78 Charm|       great advantage of wisdom—to know what is known and what is
79 Charm|           the knowledge of what we know and do not know. Assuming
80 Charm|            what we know and do not know. Assuming all this, still,
81 Charm|         any one else pretending to know matters of which he is ignorant,
82 Charm|           is.~Yet I should like to know one thing more: which of
83 Charm|           what he knew and did not know; also we nobly disregarded,
84 Charm|         way that which he does not know at all; for our assumption
85 Charm|       knows that which he does not know; than which nothing, as
86 Charm|            I am sure that I do not know, Socrates, whether I have
87 Charm|          temperance; for how can I know whether I have a thing,
