 1 Repub|        love of wisdom, which is philosophy? ~They are the same, he
 2 Repub|     require to unite in himself philosophy and spirit and swiftness
 3 Repub| giddiness are to be ascribed to philosophy, and hence all practising
 4 Repub|      great student of music and philosophy, at first the high condition
 5 Repub|     ends by becoming a hater of philosophy, uncivilized, never using
 6 Repub|        BOOK V: ON MATRIMONY AND PHILOSOPHY~(SOCRATES, GLAUCON, ADEIMANTUS.) ~
 7 Repub|      and another is an enemy of philosophy; one has spirit, and another
 8 Repub|         the spirit and power of philosophy, and political greatness
 9 Repub|      natures who ought to study philosophy and to be leaders in the
10 Repub|                    BOOK VI: THE PHILOSOPHY OF GOVERNMENT~(SOCRATES,
11 Repub|      nature has no part in true philosophy? ~Certainly not. ~Or again:
12 Repub|       fact that the votaries of philosophy, when they carry on the
13 Repub|    deeming the best votaries of philosophy to be useless to the rest
14 Repub|       and among men like these, philosophy, the noblest pursuit of
15 Repub|        be laid to the charge of philosophy any more than the other? ~
16 Repub|      had no part or lot in true philosophy. ~Yes, that was said. ~Well,
17 Repub|       speak of the imitators of philosophy, what manner of men are
18 Repub|     inconsistencies, bring upon philosophy and upon all philosophers
19 Repub|     destroys and distracts from philosophy the soul which is the possessor
20 Repub|    humbled and taken captive by philosophy, how will his friends behave
21 Repub|   ill-educated, divert him from philosophy, no less than riches and
22 Repub|     most true, he said. ~And so philosophy is left desolate, with her
23 Repub|        out of their trades into philosophy; those who do so being probably
24 Repub| miserable crafts? For, although philosophy be in this evil case, still
25 Repub|  unworthy of education approach philosophy and make an alliance with
26 Repub|         the worthy disciples of philosophy will be but a small remnant:
27 Repub|    conspired to divert him from philosophy; but ill-health kept him
28 Repub|        and blessed a possession philosophy is, and have also seen enough
29 Repub|        himself. ~The causes why philosophy is in such an evil name
30 Repub|          even so this growth of philosophy, instead of persisting,
31 Repub|       another character. But if philosophy ever finds in the State
32 Repub|       question how the study of philosophy may be so ordered as not
33 Repub|       that States should pursue philosophy, not as they do now, but
34 Repub|         I said, the students of philosophy are quite young; beginning
35 Repub|         they make much ado, for philosophy is not considered by them
36 Repub|     youth their study, and what philosophy they learn, should be suited
37 Repub|        to use in the service of philosophy; as life advances and the
38 Repub|       conventional imitation of philosophy, consisting of words artificially
39 Repub|        with a true love of true philosophy. That either or both of
40 Repub|         be whenever the muse of philosophy is queen. There is no impossibility
41 Repub|       the many entertain toward philosophy originates in the pretenders,
42 Repub|         will they be angry with philosophy? Will they disbelieve us,
43 Repub|        lifetime in the study of philosophy should not be always repeating
44 Repub|        ambition is that of true philosophy. Do you know of any other? ~
45 Repub|      which we affirm to be true philosophy? ~Quite so. ~And should
46 Repub|        and create the spirit of philosophy, and raise up that which
47 Repub|      who elevate astronomy into philosophy appear to me to make us
48 Repub|         is that those who study philosophy have no vocation, and this,
49 Repub|    greater flood of ridicule on philosophy than she has to endure at
50 Repub|      excitement. For when I saw philosophy so undeservedly trampled
51 Repub|  applicable to the disciples of philosophy? ~In this way: you know
52 Repub|     very natural in students of philosophy such as I have described,
53 Repub|       hence, not only they, but philosophy and all that relates to
54 Repub|      said that the disciples of philosophy were to be orderly and steadfast,
55 Repub|   Suppose, I said, the study of philosophy to take the place of gymnastics
56 Repub|    their own lives also; making philosophy their chief pursuit, but,
57 Repub|         companion of reason and philosophy, and have honored gymnastics
58 Repub|         that? said Adeimantus. ~Philosophy, I said, tempered with music,
59 Repub|       which separates them from philosophy and reason, the more strange
60 Repub|         ancient quarrel between philosophy and poetry; of which there
61 Repub|       habit only, and he had no philosophy. And it was true of others
62 Repub|         from the first to sound philosophy, and had been moderately
