Dialogue

  1 Repub|        perverse. ~Glaucon said, I suppose, since you insist, that
  2 Repub|         are there not exceptions? Suppose that a friend when in his
  3 Repub|       also a good thief? ~That, I suppose, is to be inferred. ~Then
  4 Repub|      doctrine is immoral. ~Then I suppose that we ought to do good
  5 Repub|           one can answer you. But suppose that he were to retort: "
  6 Repub|    Certainly not, he said. Do you suppose that I call him who is mistaken
  7 Repub|           he replied. ~And do you suppose that I ask these questions
  8 Repub|      argument? ~Nay, he replied, "suppose" is not the word-I know
  9 Repub|          the example of the body. Suppose you were to ask me whether
 10 Repub|          he were paid as well? ~I suppose not. ~But does he therefore
 11 Repub|       then, Thrasymachus, I said, suppose you begin at the beginning
 12 Repub|        other vice? ~Certainly. ~I suppose that you would call justice
 13 Repub|           the same case? ~That, I suppose, can hardly be denied. ~
 14 Repub|           unlike and opposite? ~I suppose so. ~Whereas the bad and
 15 Repub|     remember, he said, but do not suppose that I approve of what you
 16 Repub|        the just? ~They will. ~And suppose injustice abiding in a single
 17 Repub|         him and took the kingdom. Suppose now that there were two
 18 Repub|          too coarse, I ask you to suppose, Socrates, that the words
 19 Repub|     Socrates, he said, you do not suppose that there is nothing more
 20 Repub|         if there are no gods? or, suppose them to have no care of
 21 Repub|      which I may illustrate thus; suppose that a short-sighted person
 22 Repub|         this great demand: We may suppose that one man is a husbandman,
 23 Repub|         of exchange. ~Certainly. ~Suppose now that a husbandman or
 24 Repub|           Well, I said; but if we suppose a change in anything, that
 25 Repub|       same principle, as I should suppose, applies to all composite
 26 Repub|          the worse, for we cannot suppose him to be deficient either
 27 Repub|      reasons apply to God? Can we suppose that he is ignorant of antiquity,
 28 Repub|        this way. You are aware, I suppose, that all mythology and
 29 Repub|      person; he never leads us to suppose that he is anyone else.
 30 Repub|  understand, he said. ~Or you may suppose the opposite case-that the
 31 Repub|       these two sorts? he asked. ~Suppose, I answered, that a just
 32 Repub|          I do not deny it. ~But I suppose you would argue that such
 33 Repub|           a panharmonic scale? ~I suppose not. ~Then we shall not
 34 Repub|           come near them. ~Then I suppose that in the city which we
 35 Repub|        and the heat of summer. ~I suppose that you mean houses, he
 36 Repub|      added. ~But, said he, let us suppose all this to be included
 37 Repub|           opposite kind of State. Suppose that we were painting a
 38 Repub|          he said. ~And do you not suppose, Adeimantus, that a single
 39 Repub|           I think you right. ~And suppose that, before engaging, our
 40 Repub|          agree, he replied; for I suppose that you mean to exclude
 41 Repub|         middle class, whether you suppose them to be stronger or weaker
 42 Repub|        distance; and therefore, I suppose, we missed her. ~What do
 43 Repub|         you agree with me or not. Suppose a carpenter to be doing
 44 Repub|       cobbler of a carpenter; and suppose them to exchange their implements
 45 Repub|           hands and his head, and suppose a person to say that one
 46 Repub|         at rest. ~Very true. ~And suppose the objector to refine still
 47 Repub|          desire generally, let us suppose a particular class of desires,
 48 Repub|        That is plain. ~And if you suppose something which pulls a
 49 Repub|     anyone else? ~Certainly not. ~Suppose that a man thinks he has
 50 Repub|           said: My good friend, I suppose that you mean to encourage
 51 Repub|         mind? ~Well, I replied, I suppose that I must retrace my steps
 52 Repub|             True. ~Let us further suppose the birth and education
 53 Repub|          That is the inference, I suppose. ~I should rather expect,
 54 Repub|   miraculous help may save us? ~I suppose so, he said. Well, then,
 55 Repub|        considered by us. ~I said: Suppose that by way of illustration
 56 Repub|       difficulty. ~Yes, perhaps. ~Suppose then that we invite him
 57 Repub|       nurses and attendants. ~You suppose the wives of our guardians
 58 Repub|        they burn houses, nor ever suppose that the whole population
 59 Repub|          brother, son; and if you suppose the women to join their
 60 Repub|         opinion? ~Certainly. ~But suppose that the latter should quarrel
 61 Repub|   ignorance? ~In neither. ~Then I suppose that opinion appears to
 62 Repub|           have been shortened. ~I suppose not, I said; and yet I believe
 63 Repub|       fail in some other respect. Suppose, then, I said, that we determine
 64 Repub|         What do you mean? ~Let us suppose that philosophical minds
 65 Repub|          not at all accustomed, I suppose. ~I perceive, I said, that
 66 Repub|        already. ~Certainly. ~Then suppose you now take this parable
 67 Repub|   followers, the same of whom you suppose the accuser to say that
 68 Repub|           infuriated; and you may suppose further, that when, by continually
 69 Repub|      means, he said. ~Then let us suppose that the reconciliation
 70 Repub|          be affirmed. ~And do not suppose that there will be many
 71 Repub|         noble thought; but do you suppose that we shall refrain from
 72 Repub|           ovpavos, opatos). May I suppose that you have this distinction
 73 Repub|          the same proportion, and suppose the two main divisions to
 74 Repub|        and the cognate sciences I suppose that you would term understanding,
 75 Repub|         scale of them, and let us suppose that the several faculties
 76 Repub|           another, would they not suppose that they were naming what
 77 Repub|     before them? ~Very true. ~And suppose further that the prison
 78 Repub|         him? ~True, he said. ~And suppose once more, that he is reluctantly
 79 Repub|      fellow-prisoners, do you not suppose that he would felicitate
 80 Repub|      finger. ~Very good. ~You may suppose that they are seen quite
 81 Repub|          That is very true. ~Now, suppose a person were to say to
 82 Repub|           do so, he replied. ~And suppose we make astronomy the third-what
 83 Repub|         or intruder? ~Very true. ~Suppose, I said, the study of philosophy
 84 Repub| governesses too; for you must not suppose that what I have been saying
 85 Repub|          the other? For we cannot suppose that States are made of "
 86 Repub|    unnecessary? ~Yes, certainly. ~Suppose we select an example of
 87 Repub|             That is what I should suppose. ~The pleasure of eating
 88 Repub|     reverse. ~If he is to rule, I suppose that he cannot help himself. ~
 89 Repub|          next, how does he live? ~Suppose, as people facetiously say,
 90 Repub|        has a clear insight. May I suppose that the judgment is given
 91 Repub|           of saving himself. ~And suppose the same god, who carried
 92 Repub|       will be still worse, if you suppose him to be everywhere surrounded
 93 Repub|         and getting fame? ~True. ~Suppose we call it the contentious
 94 Repub|         Very true. ~And are we to suppose, I said, that the philosopher
 95 Repub|      pains and you will no longer suppose, as you perhaps may at present,
 96 Repub|        metamorphose at will. ~You suppose marvellous powers in the
 97 Repub|          a model as you propose. ~Suppose now that you make a second
 98 Repub|            Of course. ~But then I suppose you will say that what he
 99 Repub| expression of truth. ~No wonder. ~Suppose now that by the light of
100 Repub|           considered. ~Now do you suppose that if a person were able
101 Repub|     badness of his imitations? ~I suppose not. ~The imitative artist
102 Repub|       said, it is unreasonable to suppose that anything can perish
103 Repub|          of the soul, we must not suppose that the soul, which is
104 Repub|           the speaker is right, I suppose that injustice, like disease,
105 Repub|          were saying. And you may suppose that I have repeated the
