Dialogue

 1  Gorg|  Introduction to the Phaedrus.)~Two tendencies seem to have
 2  Gorg|      Plato by the appearance of two or more subjects. Under
 3  Gorg|         in another world. These two aspects of life and knowledge
 4  Gorg|      knowledge appear to be the two leading ideas of the dialogue.
 5  Gorg|    other questions, such as the two famous paradoxes of Socrates (
 6  Gorg|    conclusion is that there are two kinds of statesmanship,
 7  Gorg|      public duties at all.’ The two points of view are not really
 8  Gorg|        all productive arts into two classes: (1) arts which
 9  Gorg|     unjust. But still there are two sorts of persuasion: one
10  Gorg|  further question: which of the two sorts of persuasion does
11  Gorg|      Now the soul and body have two arts waiting upon them,
12  Gorg|     also be described as having two divisions, one of which
13  Gorg|       the more miserable of the two. At this Polus laughs outright,
14  Gorg|         or dishonourable of the two. But what is fair and what
15  Gorg|    persuaded that the fouler of two things must exceed either
16  Gorg|         always be imitating his two loves. And this is the explanation
17  Gorg|      always playing between the two points of view, and putting
18  Gorg|     represented respectively by two men, who are filling jars
19  Gorg|      statements by showing that two opposites cannot coexist,
20  Gorg|         Granted; then there are two species of oratory; the
21  Gorg|  Socrates, ‘one man must do for two;’ and though he had hoped
22  Gorg|       does not charge more than two obols, and when he disembarks
23  Gorg|  conversation. You remember the two processes—one which was
24  Gorg|         body, may be treated in two ways—there is the meaner
25  Gorg|        really the higher of the two. The teacher of the arts
26  Gorg|         asking, to which of the two modes of serving the state
27  Gorg|       of torment.~For there are two classes of souls who undergo
28  Gorg|   happiness is different in the two dialogues; being described
29  Gorg| designed connection between the two dialogues. In both the ideas
30  Gorg|   philosophy, he recognizes the two elements which seem to lie
31  Gorg|   Socrates, is the worst of the two. Again, there is the sophistry
32  Gorg|         take the world by force—two or three moves on the political
33  Gorg|        all that he can fore see—two or three weeks moves on
34  Gorg|         all that he can foresee—two or three weeks or months
35  Gorg|    political conception. One or two only in modern times, like
36  Gorg|   vocation of teachers; and the two greatest of the Greek dramatists
37  Gorg|      intended to illustrate the two different ways in which
38  Gorg|     their heads for a moment or two and behold a world beyond.
39  Gorg|       Plato elsewhere, that the two extremes of human character
40  Gorg|   consistent than either of the two others. It has a greater
41  Gorg|  satisfying, our curiosity. The two companies of souls, ascending
42  Gorg|        the inconsistency of the two other myths must be extended
43  Gorg|       be summed up in a word or two: After death the Judgment;
44  Gorg|     asked, under which of these two cycles of existence was
45  Gorg|        while Plato balances the two sides of the serious controversy,
46  Gorg|       be contained in a word or two, which may call up not one
47  Gorg|  SOCRATES: Shall we then assume two sorts of persuasion,—one
48  Gorg|         the greater gain of the two, just as the gain is greater
49  Gorg|      attiring and sophistry are two others: thus there are four
50  Gorg|         The soul and body being two, have two arts corresponding
51  Gorg|        and body being two, have two arts corresponding to them:
52  Gorg|      may be described as having two divisions, one of them gymnastic,
53  Gorg|       does to medicine; and the two parts run into one another,
54  Gorg|      there are these four arts, two attending on the body and
55  Gorg|       attending on the body and two on the soul for their highest
56  Gorg|          my friend, but you ask two questions at once.~POLUS:
57  Gorg|   questions at once.~POLUS: How two questions?~SOCRATES: Why,
58  Gorg|        say to you that here are two questions in one, and I
59  Gorg|        the world. For there are two ways of refutation, one
60  Gorg|  suffers in the attempt, for of two miserables one cannot be
61  Gorg|       the more miserable of the two. Do you laugh, Polus? Well,
62  Gorg|         beginning: which of the two, Polus, in your opinion,
63  Gorg|          SOCRATES: Then when of two beautiful things one exceeds
64  Gorg|     Very true.~SOCRATES: And of two deformed things, that which
65  Gorg|         the greater evil of the two.~POLUS: That is the conclusion.~
66  Gorg|     Polus, when you compare the two kinds of refutations, how
67  Gorg|        Socrates, far excels the two others.~SOCRATES: And justice,
68  Gorg|         And suppose the case of two persons who have some evil
69  Gorg|       both, and both of us have two loves apiece:—I am the lover
70  Gorg|       which you have; and these two strangers, Gorgias and Polus,
71  Gorg|        surely do not think that two men are better than one,
72  Gorg|       this as an account of the two lives of the temperate and
73  Gorg|         in a figure:— There are two men, both of whom have a
74  Gorg|        courage and knowledge as two things different from one
75  Gorg|         add a third vote to our two?~CALLICLES: I will.~SOCRATES:
76  Gorg|         true of one soul, or of two or more?~CALLICLES: Equally
77  Gorg|      CALLICLES: Equally true of two or more.~SOCRATES: Then
78  Gorg|   admission that rhetoric is of two sorts; one, which is mere
79  Gorg|      then say with Epicharmus, ‘Two men spoke before, but now
80  Gorg|       then that there are these two evils, the doing injustice
81  Gorg|        succeed in obtaining the two advantages, the one of not
82  Gorg|       the pleader, demands only two obols, if he brings us from
83  Gorg|         or Egypt, at the utmost two drachmae, when he has saved,
84  Gorg|         remember that there are two processes of training all
85  Gorg|       than once, that there are two kinds of operations which
86  Gorg|        to do with the body, and two which have to do with the
87  Gorg|       with the soul: one of the two is ministerial, and if our
88  Gorg|       have made my sons judges; two from Asia, Minos and Rhadamanthus,
89  Gorg|         of the ways, whence the two roads lead, one to the Islands
90  Gorg|   appeal, in case either of the two others are in any doubt:—
91  Gorg|  separation from one another of two things, soul and body; nothing
