Dialogue

  1 Repub|          he says, "cherishes the soul of him who lives in justice
  2 Repub|   mightiest to sway the restless soul of man." ~How admirable
  3 Repub|            Well; and has not the soul an end which nothing else
  4 Repub|          functions proper to the soul, and can they rightly be
  5 Repub|   reckoned among the ends of the soul? ~Assuredly, he said. ~And
  6 Repub|        he said. ~And has not the soul an excellence also? ~Yes. ~
  7 Repub|        She cannot. ~Then an evil soul must necessarily be an evil
  8 Repub|     superintendent, and the good soul a good ruler? ~Yes, necessarily. ~
  9 Repub|         is the excellence of the soul, and injustice the defect
 10 Repub|      injustice the defect of the soul? ~That has been admitted. ~
 11 Repub|         admitted. ~Then the just soul and the just man will live
 12 Repub|        they inwardly work in the soul. If you please, then, I
 13 Repub|    either of them abiding in the soul, and invisible to any human
 14 Repub|        all the things of a man's soul which he has within him,
 15 Repub|         presence of it makes the soul of any creature to be absolutely
 16 Repub|          of the mental ones; his soul is to be full of spirit? ~
 17 Repub|          body, and music for the soul. ~True. ~Shall we begin
 18 Repub|       not the bravest and wisest soul be least confused or deranged
 19 Repub|         themselves, which is the soul, and in that part of them
 20 Repub| remarking, this ignorance in the soul of him who is deceived may

 22 Repub|        of triumph and cheered my soul. And I thought that the
 23 Repub|          house of Hades there is soul and ghostly form but no
 24 Repub|  flitting shades." ~Again: ~"The soul flying from the limbs had
 25 Repub|        youth." ~Again: ~"And the soul, with shrilling cry, passed
 26 Repub|          pass through the inmost soul of him who hears them. I
 27 Repub|      depend on the temper of the soul? ~Yes. ~And everything else
 28 Repub|          corruption in their own soul. Let our artists rather
 29 Repub|          and insensibly draw the soul from earliest years into
 30 Repub|         the inward places of the soul, on which they mightily

 32 Repub|       over and receives into his soul the good, and becomes noble
 33 Repub| assuredly. ~And when a beautiful soul harmonizes with a beautiful
 34 Repub|        who is of an inharmonious soul? ~That is true, he replied,
 35 Repub|         the deficiency be in his soul; but if there be any merely
 36 Repub|          excellence improves the soul, but, on the contrary, that
 37 Repub|          contrary, that the good soul, by her own excellence,
 38 Repub|      parent of temperance in the soul; and simplicity in gymnastics
 39 Repub|      know evil, not from his own soul, but from late and long
 40 Repub|        he is good who has a good soul. But the cunning and suspicious
 41 Repub|   natures, giving health both of soul and of body; but those who
 42 Repub|          for the training of the soul, the other for the training
 43 Repub|   chiefly the improvement of the soul. ~How can that be? he asked. ~
 44 Repub|    question. ~And the harmonious soul is both temperate and courageous? ~

 48 Repub|       best attempers them to the soul, may be rightly called the
 49 Repub|         agent far in washing the soul than any soda or lye; or
 50 Repub|       believe, that in the human soul there is a better and also
 51 Repub|      three principles in his own soul which are found in the State;
 52 Repub|        easy question-whether the soul has these three principles
 53 Repub|  appetites; or whether the whole soul comes into play in each
 54 Repub|      say-would you not?-that the soul of him who desires is seeking
 55 Repub|      thirst the desire which the soul has of drink, and of drink
 56 Repub|      only? ~Certainly. ~Then the soul of the thirsty one, in so
 57 Repub|  something which pulls a thirsty soul away from drink, that must
 58 Repub|       there was something in the soul bidding a man to drink,
 59 Repub|        rational principle of the soul; the other, with which he
 60 Repub|       principles existing in the soul. And what of passion, or
 61 Repub|       for in the conflict of the soul spirit is arrayed on the
 62 Repub|          three principles in the soul, there will only be two,
 63 Repub|         not be in the individual soul a third element which is
 64 Repub|     breast, and thus rebuked his soul;" for in this verse Homer
 65 Repub|        has the care of the whole soul, to rule, and the passionate
 66 Repub|          the largest part of the soul and by nature most insatiable
 67 Repub|         termed, the concupiscent soul, no longer confined to her
 68 Repub|      best defenders of the whole soul and the whole body against
 69 Repub|       rising up of a part of the soul against the whole, an assertion
 70 Repub|         and health; being in the soul just what disease and health
 71 Repub|      another in the parts of the soul, and the creation of injustice
 72 Repub|    beauty, and well-being of the soul, and vice the disease, and
 73 Repub|          be as many forms of the soul as there are distinct forms
 74 Repub|       the State, and five of the soul, I said. ~What are they? ~
 75 Repub|     regulation of the individual soul, and is exhibited in four
 76 Repub|          frame, drawn toward the soul as a centre and forming
 77 Repub|          in the pleasures of the soul, and will hardly feel bodily
 78 Repub|  antagonistic than meanness to a soul which is ever longing after
 79 Repub|         occupation? Yes. ~Then a soul which forgets cannot be
 80 Repub|         a manner, necessary to a soul, which is to have a full
 81 Repub|         and kindred power in the soul, and by that power drawing
 82 Repub|    distracts from philosophy the soul which is the possessor of
 83 Repub|    devoted to her; or some lofty soul born in a mean city, the
 84 Repub|   increase the gymnastics of the soul; but when the strength of
 85 Repub|    knowledge, to see whether the soul will be able to endure the
 86 Repub|        said, that we divided the soul into three parts; and distinguished
 87 Repub|        Of this then, which every soul of man pursues and makes
 88 Repub|       them? ~Certainly. ~And the soul is like the eye: when resting
 89 Repub|       truth and being shine, the soul perceives and understands,
 90 Repub|        in the lower of which the soul uses the figures given by
 91 Repub|       the higher of the two, the soul passes out of hypotheses,
 92 Repub|          the search after it the soul is compelled to use hypotheses;
 93 Repub|          to be the ascent of the soul into the intellectual world
 94 Repub|      will first ask whether that soul of man has come out of the

 96 Repub|         put a knowledge into the soul which was not there before,
 97 Repub|        of learning exists in the soul already; and that just as
 98 Repub|        the movement of the whole soul be turned from the world
 99 Repub|         so-called virtues of the soul seem to be akin to bodily
100 Repub|           how clearly his paltry soul sees the way to his end;
101 Repub|       but the turning round of a soul passing from a day which
102 Repub|       there which would draw the soul from becoming to being?
103 Repub|         it is simply to draw the soul toward being. ~Will you

105 Repub|          said. ~And must not the soul be perplexed at this intimation
106 Repub|      these intimations which the soul receives are very curious
107 Repub|        in these perplexities the soul naturally summons to her
108 Repub|       aroused within us, and the soul perplexed and wanting to
109 Repub|         military use, and of the soul herself; and because this
110 Repub| elevating effect, compelling the soul to reason about abstract
111 Repub|     things tend which compel the soul to turn her gaze toward
112 Repub|           geometry will draw the soul toward truth, and create
113 Repub|       man there is an eye of the soul which, when by other pursuits
114 Repub|       that astronomy compels the soul to look upward and leads
115 Repub|          the unseen can make the soul look upward, and whether
116 Repub|        is matter of science; his soul is looking downward, not
117 Repub|         highest principle in the soul to the contemplation of
118 Repub|    ground secure; the eye of the soul, which is literally buried
119 Repub|          truth, I said, is not a soul equally to be deemed halt

123 Repub|       fertility and sterility of soul and body occur when the
124 Repub|        rational principle in his soul, the others are encouraging
125 Repub|         unanimous and harmonious soul will flee far away and never
126 Repub|         body, and hurtful to the soul in the pursuit of wisdom
127 Repub|          then there arise in his soul a faction and an opposite
128 Repub|      enters into the young man's soul, and order is restored. ~
129 Repub|       citadel of the young man's soul, which they perceive to
130 Repub|      emptied and swept clean the soul of him who is now in their
131 Repub|         at last this lord of the soul, having Madness for the
132 Repub|          all the concerns of his soul. ~That is certain. ~Yes;
133 Repub|         swarm in the hive of his soul, then he breaks into a house,
134 Repub|         of the tyrant in his own soul, and him they create their
135 Repub|       the same rule prevail? His soul is full of meanness and
136 Repub|       And would you say that the soul of such a one is the soul
137 Repub|        soul of such a one is the soul of a freeman or of a slave? ~
138 Repub|          of a slave? ~He has the soul of a slave, in my opinion. ~
139 Repub|         incapable. ~And also the soul which is under a tyrant (
140 Repub|     tyrant (I am speaking of the soul taken as a whole) is least
141 Repub|        Poor. ~And the tyrannical soul must be always poor and
142 Repub|          of fears and lusts? His soul is dainty and greedy, and
143 Repub|         how to inspect the whole soul of him: all his life long
144 Repub|   derived from the nature of the soul: seeing that the individual
145 Repub|       seeing that the individual soul, like the State, has been
146 Repub|        describe this part of the soul as loving gain or money. ~
147 Repub|        apply to that part of the soul? ~Certainly. ~One principle
148 Repub|          intelligent part of the soul is the pleasantest of the
149 Repub|          a sort of repose of the soul about either-that is what
150 Repub|          pain are motions of the soul, are they not? ~Yes. ~But
151 Repub|        pleasures which reach the soul through the body are generally
152 Repub|      folly are inanitions of the soul? ~True. ~And food and wisdom
153 Repub|        are in the service of the soul? ~Far less. ~And has not
154 Repub|       truth and essence than the soul? ~Yes. ~What is filled with
155 Repub|        passionate element of the soul? Will not the passionate
156 Repub|     natural. ~And when the whole soul follows the philosophical
157 Repub|          us make an image of the soul, that he may have his own
158 Repub|            An ideal image of the soul, like the composite creations
159 Repub|         liberated, and his whole soul is perfected and ennobled
160 Repub|     health, in proportion as the soul is more honorable than the
161 Repub|   impress these qualities on his soul, and will disregard others? ~
162 Repub|      preserve the harmony of the soul? ~Certainly he will, if
163 Repub|        now that the parts of the soul have been distinguished. ~
164 Repub|        rational principle in the soul? ~To be sure. ~And when
165 Repub|            Then that part of the soul which has an opinion contrary
166 Repub|       And the better part of the soul is likely to be that which
167 Repub|       inferior principles of the soul? ~No doubt. ~This was the
168 Repub|        already admitted; and the soul has been acknowledged by
169 Repub|       but always accustoming the soul forthwith to apply a remedy,
170 Repub|        rational principle in the soul; but he will prefer the
171 Repub|          an inferior part of the soul; and therefore we shall
172 Repub|        out of the way, so in the soul of man, as we maintain,
173 Repub|          aware, I said, that the soul of man is immortal and imperishable? ~
174 Repub|          evil which corrupts the soul? ~Yes, he said, there are
175 Repub|          which is an evil of the soul. Take the analogy of the
176 Repub|        true? ~Yes. ~Consider the soul in like manner. Does the
177 Repub|         evil which exists in the soul waste and consume her? Do
178 Repub|         they by attaching to the soul and inhering in her at last
179 Repub|       can produce an evil of the soul, we must not suppose that
180 Repub|        must not suppose that the soul, which is one thing, can
181 Repub|          pieces, can destroy the soul, until she herself is proved
182 Repub|        to the body; but that the soul, or anything else if not
183 Repub|     admit the immortality of the soul boldly denies this, and
184 Repub|      natural vice or evil of the soul is unable to kill or destroy
185 Repub|       some other body, destroy a soul or anything else except
186 Repub|          can hardly be. ~But the soul which cannot be destroyed
187 Repub|          than we can believe the soul, in her truest nature, to
188 Repub|          you mean? he said. ~The soul, I said, being, as is now
189 Repub|        own natural form. And the soul which we behold is in a
190 Repub|     shown to be the best for the soul in her own nature. Let a
191 Repub|     other virtues procure to the soul from gods and men, both
192 Repub|     world. He said that when his soul left the body he went on
193 Repub|   character in them, because the soul, when choosing a new life,
194 Repub|        or wealth in a particular soul, and what are the good and
195 Repub|        and acquired gifts of the soul, and the operation of them
196 Repub|        look at the nature of the soul, and from the consideration
197 Repub|         life which will make his soul more unjust, and good to
198 Repub|         life which will make his soul more just; all else he will
199 Repub|  previous life. There he saw the soul which had once been Orpheus
200 Repub|    murderers; he beheld also the soul of Thamyras choosing the
201 Repub|           wanting to be men. The soul which obtained the twentieth
202 Repub|         a lion, and this was the soul of Ajax the son of Telamon,
203 Repub|     after her there followed the soul of Epeus the son of Panopeus
204 Repub|          the last who chose, the soul of the jester Thersites
205 Repub|      monkey. There came also the soul of Odysseus having yet to
206 Repub|        of Forgetfulness, and our soul will not be defiled. Wherefore
207 Repub|     always, considering that the soul is immortal and able to
