Dialogue

 1 Phaedo|  Compare Phaedrus.) This is the reason why he abstains from fleshly
 2 Phaedo|     instead of telling the true reason—that he is here because
 3 Phaedo|    greater and less (greater by reason of that which is smaller!),
 4 Phaedo|      pleasures of the body, has reason to be of good hope at the
 5 Phaedo|    feelings, rather than by our reason, to think of the good and
 6 Phaedo|         proper sense the use of reason, reappear with blinking
 7 Phaedo|       partakers of immortality. Reason does not allow us to suppose
 8 Phaedo|  exceptional privilege? When we reason about such a subject, almost
 9 Phaedo|         delusive. For we cannot reason from the natural to the
10 Phaedo|        and therefore we have no reason to infer that he will govern
11 Phaedo|        will say: That we cannot reason from the seen to the unseen,
12 Phaedo|   towards such a belief—we have reason to think that our destiny
13 Phaedo|        afterwards. What was the reason of this?~PHAEDO: An accident,
14 Phaedo|         trial, and this was the reason why Socrates lay in prison
15 Phaedo|       together; and this is the reason why when one comes the other
16 Phaedo|        an echo; but there is no reason why I should not repeat
17 Phaedo|       matter thus, there may be reason in saying that a man should
18 Phaedo|      replied Socrates; there is reason in what you say. And so
19 Phaedo|        the real philosopher has reason to be of good cheer when
20 Phaedo|       other sense together with reason, but with the very light
21 Phaedo|        endless trouble to us by reason of the mere requirement
22 Phaedo|     service of the body; and by reason of all these impediments
23 Phaedo|         is true, there is great reason to hope that, going whither
24 Phaedo|   speaking, there would be good reason to hope, Socrates, that
25 Phaedo|        were knowledge and right reason already in him? And this
26 Phaedo| knowledge only. And this is the reason, Simmias and Cebes, why
27 Phaedo|       sort of ignorance; and by reason of lust had become the principal
28 Phaedo|         And this, Cebes, is the reason why the true lovers of knowledge
29 Phaedo|      and brave; and not for the reason which the world gives.~Certainly
30 Phaedo|      soul of a philosopher will reason in quite another way; she
31 Phaedo|        calm passion, and follow reason, and dwell in the contemplation
32 Phaedo|       with a smile: Simmias has reason on his side; and why does
33 Phaedo|         to die will always have reason to fear that when the body
34 Phaedo|      added together make two by reason of the addition. I cannot
35 Phaedo| satisfied that I understand the reason why one or anything else
36 Phaedo|   greater is greater by, and by reason of, greatness, and the less
37 Phaedo|         is less only by, and by reason of, smallness; and thus
38 Phaedo|       greater man is greater by reason of the head, which is small.
39 Phaedo|       exceeded eight by, and by reason of, two; but would say by,
40 Phaedo|        but would say by, and by reason of, number; or you would
41 Phaedo|   because he is Simmias, but by reason of the size which he has;
42 Phaedo|      Simmias; nor can I see any reason for doubt after what has
43 Phaedo|  hesitating confidence in human reason, you may, I think, follow
44 Phaedo|    never come to the surface by reason of his feebleness and sluggishness,
45 Phaedo|          compare Republic). The reason is, that they are pure,
46 Phaedo|        which they flow. And the reason why the streams are always
47 Phaedo|       appear to be incurable by reason of the greatness of their
48 Phaedo|        like these, which is the reason why I lengthen out the tale.
