 2 Repub|    instances, then justice is the art which gives good to friends
 3 Repub|          want to use it, then the art of the vine-dresser? ~Clearly. ~
 4 Repub|        want to use them, then the art of the soldier or of the
 5 Repub|         agreed that justice is an art of theft; to be practised,
 6 Repub|           can the musician by his art make men unmusical? ~Certainly
 7 Repub|            Or the horseman by his art make them bad horsemen? ~
 8 Repub|         said. ~Now, I said, every art has an interest? ~Certainly. ~
 9 Repub|         Certainly. ~For which the art has to consider and provide? ~
10 Repub|           Yes, that is the aim of art. ~And the interest of any
11 Repub|           And the interest of any art is the perfection of it-this
12 Repub|  therefore interests to which the art of medicine ministers; and
13 Repub|           he replied. ~But is the art of medicine or any other
14 Repub|          of medicine or any other art faulty or deficient in any
15 Repub|        therefore requires another art to provide for the interests
16 Repub|         of seeing and hearing-has art in itself, I say, any similar
17 Repub|         or defect, and does every art require another supplementary
18 Repub|     require another supplementary art to provide for its interests,
19 Repub|         the exercise of their own art or of any other; they have
20 Repub|         subject-matter. For every art remains pure and faultless
21 Repub|            he said. ~Nor does the art of horsemanship consider
22 Repub|     consider the interests of the art of horsemanship, but the
23 Repub|           is the subject of their art? ~True, he said. ~But surely,
24 Repub|       Then, I said, no science or art considers or enjoins the
25 Repub|        subject or suitable to his art; to that he looks, and that
26 Repub|          shepherd. Yet surely the art of the shepherd is concerned
27 Repub|       since the perfection of the art is already insured whenever
28 Repub|       ruler. I conceived that the art of the ruler, considered
29 Repub| difference, he replied. ~And each art gives us a particular good
30 Repub|            Yes, he said. ~And the art of payment has the special
31 Repub|           arts, any more than the art of the pilot is to be confused
32 Repub|           to be confused with the art of medicine, because the
33 Repub|            that navigation is the art of medicine, at least if
34 Repub|        you would not say that the art of payment is medicine? ~
35 Repub|          say that medicine is the art of receiving pay because
36 Repub|       said, that the good of each art is specially confined to
37 Repub|         specially confined to the art? ~Yes. ~Then, if there be
38 Repub|          an additional use of the art of pay, which is not the
39 Repub|          of pay, which is not the art professed by him? ~He gave
40 Repub|          truth is, that while the art of medicine gives health,
41 Repub|    medicine gives health, and the art of the builder builds a
42 Repub|           builds a house, another art attends them which is the
43 Repub|         attends them which is the art of pay. The various arts
44 Repub|      receive any benefit from his art unless he were paid as well? ~
45 Repub|         sick, and the physician's art; also the various ways of
46 Repub|         of rhetoric who teach the art of persuading courts and
47 Repub|          said. ~But is not war an art? ~Certainly. ~And an art
48 Repub|          art? ~Certainly. ~And an art requiring as much attention
49 Repub|          well done. But is war an art so easily acquired that

52 Repub|         the employment of such an art, unless in jest, to be beneath
53 Repub|           like a cock; his entire art will consist in imitation
54 Repub|        They must. ~And surely the art of the painter and every
55 Repub|         creative and constructive art are full of them-weaving,
56 Repub|     prevented from practising his art in our State, lest the taste
57 Repub|   perceive omissions or faults in art and nature, and with a true
58 Repub|          ourselves perfect in the art of reading until we recognize
59 Repub|      letters themselves; the same art and study giving us the
60 Repub|          within the sphere of one art and study. ~Most assuredly. ~
61 Repub|          of life ought to use the art of medicine thus far only. ~
62 Repub|        exhibited the power of his art only to persons who, being
63 Repub|         themselves or others; the art of medicine was not designed
64 Repub|       with the knowledge of their art the greatest experience
65 Repub|           the same pains with his art? ~Certainly not. ~He will
66 Repub|      boxer who was perfect in his art would easily be a match
67 Repub|           gymnastics and also the art of war, which they must

69 Repub|      glorious is the power of the art of contradiction! ~Why do
70 Repub|          in their fitness for any art or pursuit, we should say
71 Repub|          say that such pursuit or art ought to be assigned to
72 Repub|           time in speaking of the art of weaving, and the management
73 Repub|        delineated with consummate art an ideal of a perfectly

77 Repub|           private teachers of the art corrupt them in any degree
78 Repub|           makes of it a system or art, which he proceeds to teach,
79 Repub|         his poem or other work of art or the service which he
80 Repub|        And must there not be some art which will effect conversion
81 Repub|             Yes, he said, such an art may be presumed. ~And whereas
82 Repub|          of them? ~Yes. ~Then the art of war partakes of them? ~
83 Repub|         man of war must learn the art of number or he will not
84 Repub|       steadily the masters of the art repel and ridicule anyone
85 Repub|        said. ~The students of the art are filled with lawlessness. ~
86 Repub|    another question: Which is the art of painting designed to
