Dialogue

 1 Repub|         difficult. And this is a question which I should like to ask
 2 Repub| Sophocles, when in answer to the question, How does love suit with
 3 Repub|          was why I asked you the question, I replied, because I see
 4 Repub|      true, but may I ask another question?-What do you consider to
 5 Repub|           Well, there is another question: By friends and enemies
 6 Repub|          your way of putting the question, no one can answer you.
 7 Repub|        be the true answer to the question, am I falsely to say some
 8 Repub|          that I should ask you a question: Is the physician, taken
 9 Repub|            Why do you ask such a question, I said, when you ought
10 Repub|         others? Let me ask you a question: Are not the several arts
11 Repub|        the stronger. This latter question need not be further discussed
12 Repub|      good as answer yet one more question? Does the just man try to
13 Repub|          is not to the point. My question is only whether the just
14 Repub|           Then I will repeat the question which I asked before, in
15 Repub|          the unjust is a further question which we also proposed to
16 Repub|         will proceed by asking a question: Would you not say that
17 Repub|         meaning when I asked the question whether the end of anything
18 Repub|           I would rather ask the question more generally, and only
19 Repub|       when there arose a further question about the comparative advantages
20 Repub|        the consideration of this question, unless I hear the contrary
21 Repub|         all means not to let the question drop, but to proceed in
22 Repub|      said, now I understand: the question which you would have me
23 Repub|         condition to answer this question at present, my friend. ~
24 Repub|        to be said about men is a question which we cannot determine
25 Repub|         may be more than this in question: I really do not know as
26 Repub|          or rather, has not this question been decided by the rule
27 Repub|       But let me ask you another question: Has excess of pleasure
28 Repub|          recovery was out of the question, he passed his entire life
29 Repub|      then let us raise a further question, whether this dieting of
30 Repub|       but I should like to put a question to you: Ought there not
31 Repub|   however, note that in the same question you join two things which
32 Repub|       which is my answer to your question); for he is good who has
33 Repub|    should be in harmony? ~Beyond question. ~And the harmonious soul
34 Repub|      said; then what is the next question? Must we not ask who are
35 Repub|          Adeimantus interposed a question: How would you answer, Socrates,
36 Repub|         will be agreed as to the question who are to rule, that again
37 Repub|         would claim the palm-the question is not so easily answered. ~
38 Repub|     Exactly. ~Let us look at the question from another point of view:
39 Repub|      principles or not? ~An easy question! Nay, rather, Socrates,
40 Repub|        accurate solution of this question; the true method is another
41 Repub|          None whatever. ~But the question is not quite so easy when
42 Repub|        as if he had been asked a question? ~Very true. ~And what would
43 Repub|        assuredly. ~But a further question arises: Is passion different
44 Repub|        Assuredly. ~Still our old question of the comparative advantage
45 Repub|          judgment, Socrates, the question has now become ridiculous.
46 Repub|     described? ~Yes, I said, the question is, as you say, ridiculous.
47 Repub|         evil. And now, since the question is still undetermined, and
48 Repub|        glad that I had laid this question to sleep, and was reflecting
49 Repub|          yourself and answer the question in your own way: What sort
50 Repub|        be put into the form of a question, I said: Are dogs divided
51 Repub|         First, then, whether the question is to be put in jest or
52 Repub| objections? ~That is not an easy question to answer when asked suddenly;
53 Repub|  illustration we were to ask the question whether there is not an
54 Repub|       now, and we will ask you a question: When you spoke of a nature
55 Repub|         should like to ask you a question. ~What is it? ~Would you
56 Repub|     cobbling? ~What a ridiculous question! ~You have answered me,
57 Repub|     permission, to pass over the question of possibility at present.
58 Repub|       measure; and hereafter the question of possibility. ~I have
59 Repub|       most beneficial? that is a question which I put to you, because
60 Repub|          hereafter consider this question, but that, as at present
61 Repub|         You have anticipated the question which I was about to suggest. ~
62 Repub|        entirely forget the other question which at the commencement
63 Repub|           let us now turn to the question of possibility and ways
64 Repub|         should like to ask him a question: Does he who has knowledge
65 Repub|       good as to answer one more question? Would you say that knowledge
66 Repub|     opinion is intermediate? ~No question. ~But were we not saying
67 Repub|  consider. ~And what is the next question? he asked. ~Surely, I said,
68 Repub|       can we rightly answer that question? ~Whichever of the two are
69 Repub|         I said, can there be any question that the guardian who is
70 Repub|        no eyes? ~There can be no question of that. ~And are not those
71 Repub|          use to them? ~You ask a question, I said, to which a reply
72 Repub|          the majority bad, which question of necessity brought us
73 Repub|          their own purposes? ~No question. ~Falling at his feet, they
74 Repub|        bastard? ~There can be no question of it. ~And when persons
75 Repub|         is there remaining? ~The question how the study of philosophy
76 Repub|       disposed of, but the other question of the rulers must be investigated
77 Repub|           not liking to stir the question which has now arisen. ~I
78 Repub|       difficulties in which this question is involved. ~There can
79 Repub|          the passing shadow? ~No question, he replied. ~To them, I
80 Repub|      would put him to death. ~No question, he said. ~This entire allegory,
81 Repub|         and they will fight. ~No question. Who, then, are those whom
82 Repub|  compelled to ask of thought the question, What is a finger? for the
83 Repub|  calculation will be enough; the question relates rather to the greater
84 Repub|         you were speaking. ~That question, I said, is easily answered:
85 Repub|      however, I said, a previous question which remains unanswered. ~
86 Repub|        remains unanswered. ~What question? ~I do not think that we
87 Repub|        such men treacherous? ~No question. ~Also they are utterly
88 Repub|          are in dispute, and the question is not which life is more
89 Repub|         kinds of virtue? Put the question in this way: Which has a
90 Repub|        ask him to answer another question: "Then how would a man profit
91 Repub|     rather, answer me. ~Put your question. ~Can you tell me what imitation
92 Repub|       Now let me ask you another question: Which is the art of painting
93 Repub|      many to speak so well? ~The question, he said, should by all
94 Repub|      Then, I said, we must put a question to Homer; not about medicine,
95 Repub|         means. ~We may state the question thus: Imitation imitates
96 Repub|          I need hardly raise the question again, for I remember that
