Dialogue

  1 Repub|            Socrates; do you want to know how much I acquired? In
  2 Repub|           that, though I do not now know what I did say; but I still
  3 Repub|          that if you want really to know what justice is, you should
  4 Repub|           And if so, you people who know all things should pity us
  5 Repub|   Thrasymachus, I replied, and well know that if you ask a person
  6 Repub|           yourself who professes to know and can tell what he knows.
  7 Repub|          are aristocracies? ~Yes, I know. ~And the government is

  9 Repub|          has not even taught you to know the shepherd from the sheep. ~
 10 Repub|           and unjust as not even to know that justice and the just
 11 Repub|            knowing what you say you know, is to you a matter of indifference.
 12 Repub|   inducement to rule? Of course you know that ambition and avarice
 13 Repub|            most likely to do so. ~I know, I said, that such was your
 14 Repub|          said; but I should like to know also whether injustice,
 15 Repub|          discussion has been that I know nothing at all. For I know
 16 Repub|          know nothing at all. For I know not what justice is, and
 17 Repub|        therefore I am not likely to know whether it is or is not
 18 Repub|             ask? ~Because I want to know in which of the three classes
 19 Repub|            rather to be avoided. ~I know, I said, that this is their
 20 Repub|      rewards and results, I want to know what they are in themselves,
 21 Repub|     rewarded, and then we shall not know whether he is just for the
 22 Repub|            he said. And now that we know what they are like there
 23 Repub|            do care about us, yet we know of them only from tradition
 24 Repub|             our inquiry, is, as you know, sometimes spoken of as
 25 Repub|             is a very good one: you know that well-bred dogs are
 26 Repub|       reverse to strangers. ~Yes, I know. ~Then there is nothing
 27 Repub|         your meaning, he said. ~You know, I said, that we begin by
 28 Repub|          Quite right, he said. ~You know also that the beginning
 29 Repub|        replied; but I do not as yet know what you would term the
 30 Repub|        founders of a State ought to know the general forms in which
 31 Repub|             he replied. ~Do you not know, I said, that the true lie,
 32 Repub|          speaking-because we do not know the truth about ancient
 33 Repub|             were to be long, and to know no sickness. And when he
 34 Repub|     illustration of my meaning. You know the first lines of the "
 35 Repub|           question: I really do not know as yet, but whither the
 36 Repub|        answered: Of the harmonies I know nothing, but I want to have
 37 Repub|             cannot tell you. I only know that there are some three
 38 Repub|             would be difficult, you know? ~Rather so, I should say. ~
 39 Repub|           even before he is able to know the reason why; and when
 40 Repub|           in a mirror, only when we know the letters themselves;
 41 Repub|           musical until we and they know the essential forms of temperance,
 42 Repub|           last to get drunk and not know where in the world he is. ~
 43 Repub|         learned from Homer; he, you know, feeds his heroes at their
 44 Repub|         good physicians. But do you know whom I think good? ~Will
 45 Repub|           he should have learned to know evil, not from his own soul,
 46 Repub|          the other; for vice cannot know virtue too, but a virtuous
 47 Repub|           in our time, and I do not know whether such an event could
 48 Repub|            speak, although I really know not how to look you in the
 49 Repub|          but still I should like to know, Socrates, how our city
 50 Repub|        further trouble; or we might know the other three first, and
 51 Repub|  illustration? ~If you please. ~You know, I said, that dyers, when
 52 Repub|             color. ~Yes, he said; I know that they have a washed-out
 53 Repub|         about temperance? ~I do not know how that can be accomplished,
 54 Repub|           you see her first, let me know. ~Would that I could! but
 55 Repub|             apparently the same, we know that they are really not
 56 Repub|      correlatives simple. ~I do not know what you mean. ~Well, you
 57 Repub|           what you mean. ~Well, you know of course that the greater
 58 Repub|             having learned truly to know their own functions, will
 59 Repub|           now become ridiculous. We know that, when the bodily constitution
 60 Repub|        equally agreed. ~I said, You know not what you are doing in
 61 Repub|           define and divide, and so know that of which he is speaking;
 62 Repub|         common, and no parent is to know his own child, nor any child
 63 Repub|           of necessity which lovers know, and which is far more convincing
 64 Repub|             with medicines. Now you know that when patients do not
 65 Repub|        secret which the rulers only know, or there will be a further
 66 Repub|      proposition. But how will they know who are fathers and daughters,
 67 Repub|             so on? ~They will never know. The way will be this: dating
 68 Repub|     Fellow-guardians. ~Did you ever know an example in any other
 69 Repub|            the risks of war, but to know, as far as human foresight
 70 Repub|             their enemies, for they know that the guilt of war is
 71 Repub|            ranks, for they will all know one another, and each will
 72 Repub|      auxiliaries in case of need, I know that they will then be absolutely
 73 Repub|         What admissions? ~I want to know whether ideals are ever
 74 Repub|          might and main, before you know where you are, intending
 75 Repub|     pleasure like yourself ought to know that all who are in the
 76 Repub|          said; but I should like to know what you mean? ~To another,
 77 Repub|           Does he who has knowledge know something or nothing? (You
 78 Repub|      knowledge, and knowledge is to know the nature of being? ~Yes. ~
 79 Repub|           opinion? ~Yes. ~And do we know what we opine? or is the
 80 Repub|            immutable may be said to know, and not to have opinion
 81 Repub|          particular of virtue, also know the very truth of each thing? ~
 82 Repub|               But then again, as we know by experience, he whose
 83 Repub|       replied; but I should like to know what is your opinion. ~Hear
 84 Repub|    understand; but I should like to know more precisely what you
 85 Repub|             asked. ~Why, I said, we know that all germs or seeds,
 86 Repub|             the multitude; and they know that no politician is honest,
 87 Repub|       replied; but I should like to know which of the governments
 88 Repub|           are but human; and now, I know that you are going to ask,
 89 Repub|         have often heard me say, we know so little; and, without
 90 Repub|          said, that he who does not know how the beautiful and the
 91 Repub|         positively what he does not know? ~Not, he said, with the
 92 Repub|            opinion. ~And do you not know, I said, that all mere opinions
 93 Repub|        explicit? he said. ~Why, you know, I said, that the eyes,
 94 Repub|           everybody are supposed to know, and therefore they do not
 95 Repub|        conclusion? ~Yes, he said, I know. ~And do you not know also
 96 Repub|             I know. ~And do you not know also that although they
 97 Repub|            of the den, and you will know what the several images
 98 Repub|             true philosophy. Do you know of any other? ~Indeed, I
 99 Repub|           at all. ~I should like to know whether you have the same
100 Repub|            number belong? ~I do not know, he replied. ~Think a little
101 Repub|            of number or he will not know how to array his troops,
102 Repub|      objects into the argument. You know how steadily the masters
103 Repub|            harmony, as you probably know, the same thing happens.
104 Repub|        prelude, or what? Do you not know that all this is but the
105 Repub|       philosophy? ~In this way: you know that there are certain principles
106 Repub|       disorder of a State. I do not know, do you? of any other constitution
107 Repub|           exist among them. ~Do you know, I said, that governments
108 Repub|             completed. And we shall know whether we ought to pursue
109 Repub|          the government of honor?-I know of no name for such a government
110 Repub|           like themselves. ~And you know, I said, that the old servants
111 Repub|       sovereign, and taught them to know their place, he compels
112 Repub|             of life? ~True. ~Do you know where you will have to look
113 Repub|             and unequals alike. ~We know her well. ~Consider now,
114 Repub|            he their father does not know how to educate them, wax
115 Repub|            that no one who does not know would believe how much greater
116 Repub|    authority, and at length, as you know, they cease to care even
117 Repub|         over them. ~Yes, he said, I know it too well. ~Such, my friend,
118 Repub|      question-you rather desired to know what is that disorder which
119 Repub|        takes his rest, then, as you know, he attains truth most nearly,
120 Repub|           tyrant? ~He has. ~And you know that a man who is deranged,
121 Repub|             gained their point they know them no more. ~Yes, truly. ~
122 Repub|             is the difference. ~You know that they live securely
123 Repub|           and is truly poor, if you know how to inspect the whole
124 Repub|            or painless-how shall we know who speaks truly? ~I cannot
125 Repub|        until they were ill. ~Yes, I know, he said. ~And when persons
126 Repub|    Unquestionably. Those, then, who know not wisdom and virtue, and
127 Repub|              Inevitably. ~Would you know the measure of the interval
128 Repub|             is? for I really do not know.  A likely thing, then,
129 Repub|          thing, then, that I should know. ~Why not? for the duller
130 Repub|             artist-I should like to know what you would say of him. ~
131 Repub|            painter? I would like to know whether he may be thought
132 Repub|        Homer, who is at their head, know all the arts and all things
133 Repub|          right, and poets do really know the things about which they
134 Repub|              but we have a right to know respecting military tactics,
135 Repub|           good enough for those who know no more than he does, and
136 Repub|    Certainly. ~But does the painter know the right form of the bit
137 Repub|       imitator have either? Will he know from use whether or no his
138 Repub|          breast-the best of us, you know, delight in giving way to
139 Repub|            most. ~Yes, of course, I know. ~But when any sorrow of
140 Repub|          again and again and get to know him and regulate your whole
141 Repub|        would see her as she is, and know whether she have one shape
142 Repub| collectively upon virtue; he should know what the effect of beauty
143 Repub|     disregard. For we have seen and know that this is the best choice
144 Repub|          worse himself; but let him know how to choose the mean and
