Dialogue

 1 Phaedo|             is not an effect, but a cause; a harmony follows, but
 2 Phaedo|        Anaxagoras, that mind is the cause of all things. And he said
 3 Phaedo|             himself: If mind is the cause of all things, surely mind
 4 Phaedo|             in his use of mind as a cause, and that he soon introduced
 5 Phaedo|            a great confusion of the cause and condition in all this.
 6 Phaedo|          and in enquiring after the cause, we can only hope to attain
 7 Phaedo|       admission:—that beauty is the cause of the beautiful, greatness
 8 Phaedo|            beautiful, greatness the cause of the great, smallness
 9 Phaedo|            to the object, or as the cause to the effect, or as the
10 Phaedo|         soul is to be regarded as a cause or as an effect; the same
11 Phaedo|         answer,’ that beauty is the cause of the beautiful; and that
12 Phaedo|        which she was to herself the cause, received and gently comforted
13 Phaedo|           both spring from the same cause, which is ignorance of the
14 Phaedo|            replied, that I knew the cause of any of them, by heaven
15 Phaedo|       meeting of them should be the cause of their becoming two: neither
16 Phaedo|           two; for then a different cause would produce the same effect,—
17 Phaedo| juxtaposition of one to one was the cause of two, in this the separation
18 Phaedo|         from the other would be the cause. Nor am I any longer satisfied
19 Phaedo|           mind was the disposer and cause of all, and I was delighted
20 Phaedo|             desired to find out the cause of the generation or destruction
21 Phaedo|        would proceed to explain the cause and the necessity of this
22 Phaedo|          not want any other sort of cause. And I thought that I would
23 Phaedo|       explained to me in detail the cause of each and the cause of
24 Phaedo|           the cause of each and the cause of all, he would go on to
25 Phaedo|          generally that mind is the cause of the actions of Socrates,
26 Phaedo|      forgetting to mention the true cause, which is, that the Athenians
27 Phaedo|         they cannot distinguish the cause from the condition, which
28 Phaedo|          mode of enquiring into the cause.~I should very much like
29 Phaedo|             whether relating to the cause or to anything else; and
30 Phaedo|         show you the nature of that cause which has occupied my thoughts.
31 Phaedo|          show you the nature of the cause, and to prove the immortality
32 Phaedo|         agree in this notion of the cause?~Yes, he said, I agree.~
33 Phaedo|             division of one, is the cause of two? And you would loudly
34 Phaedo|           far as you know, the only cause of two is the participation
35 Phaedo|          saying that oddness is the cause of odd numbers, you will
36 Phaedo|           say that the monad is the cause of them: and so of things
37 Phaedo|             is due to the following cause:—There is a chasm which
