501 Repub| raised a note of triumph and cheered my soul. And I thought that
502 Repub| with barley-meal and grated cheese, which are certainly inflammatory,
503 Repub| relish-salt and olives and cheese-and they will boil roots and
504 Repub| believe that he, the wise Cheiron's pupil, the son of a goddess
505 Repub| he is the purveyor and cherisher of every sort of vice, and
506 Repub| age: ~"Hope," he says, "cherishes the soul of him who lives
507 Repub| two sons of Atreus, the chiefs of the people," ~the poet
508 Repub| of a city-men, women, and children-are equally their enemies, for
509 Repub| this community of women and children-for we are of opinion that the
510 Repub| ancient mythology, such as the Chimera, or Scylla, or Cerberus,
511 Repub| was rewarded with long chines, which seems to be a compliment
512 Repub| with a dagger or with a chisel, and in many other ways? ~
513 Repub| and he is to have first choices in such matters more than
514 Repub| responsibility is with the chooser-God is justified." When the
515 Repub| he replied; they shall be choruses coming on the stage, and
516 Repub| required to take the longer circuit, and toil at learning as
517 Repub| must take a longer and more circuitous way, at the end of which
518 Repub| what if there had been a circumcision of such natures in the days
519 Repub| and body occur when the circumferences of the circles of each are
520 Repub| how can one who is thus circumstanced ever become a philosopher? ~
521 Repub| and "the mob of sages circumventing Zeus," and the "subtle thinkers
522 Repub| length they seize upon the citadel of the young man's soul,
523 Repub| tedious and uphill road: then citing Homer as a witness that
524 Repub| the family life of your citizens-how they will bring children
525 Repub| at the foundation of the city-as when we said that, except
526 Repub| the whole population of a city-men, women, and children-are
527 Repub| is the situation of the city-to find a place where nothing
528 Repub| the pursuits or arts of civic life, the nature of a woman
529 Repub| Enough, I said, of these civilities. It will be better that
530 Repub| excellent. ~That is out of civility to you, he replied. ~You
531 Repub| the greatest tendency to civilize and humanize them in their
532 Repub| moderating and soothing and civilizing the wildness of passion
533 Repub| measuring of the goods which are claimed on either side, and in the
534 Repub| power and a lover of honor; claiming to be a ruler, not because
535 Repub| course, he said, for he claims to have more than all men. ~
536 Repub| exaggerating both, shouting and clapping their hands, and the echo
537 Repub| he said, let the point be cleared up, and the inquiry will
538 Repub| may see the truth in the clearest manner with our own eyes,
539 Repub| do so being probably the cleverest hands at their own miserable
540 Repub| who is their partisan and cleverly aids them in their plot
541 Repub| with proper nutriment, or climate, or soil, in proportion
542 Repub| present hour in some foreign clime which is far away and beyond
543 Repub| rock, fly shrilling and cling to one another, so did they
544 Repub| principle of the whole; and clinging to this and then to that
545 Repub| servant took hold of me by the cloak behind, and said, Polemarchus
546 Repub| a private house or store closed against anyone who has a
547 Repub| taking up a position or closing or extending the lines of
548 Repub| guardians; for we too can clothe our husbandmen in royal
549 Repub| dwelling, and the third clothing and the like. ~True. ~And
550 Repub| when his other lusts, amid clouds of incense and perfumes
551 Repub| brotherhoods and political clubs. And there are professors
552 Repub| that which preserves and co-operates with this harmonious condition
553 Repub| description a little too coarse, I ask you to suppose, Socrates,
554 Repub| is to be deemed guilty of coarseness and bad taste. ~I quite
555 Repub| figure pulling off their coats all in a moment, and seizing
556 Repub| a sheep, or crow like a cock; his entire art will consist
557 Repub| reputation for honesty, he coerces his bad passions by an enforced
558 Repub| concerned with geometry and the cognate sciences I suppose that
559 Repub| is added to them they are cognizable by the higher reason. And
560 Repub| State will in every respect coincide with the ideal: if we are
561 Repub| Adeimantus, appears to have been coined into yet smaller pieces,
562 Repub| knowledge, while they look coldly on the subtleties of controversy,
563 Repub| thoughts and inquiries, collecting himself in meditation; after
564 Repub| mentioned severally and collectively upon virtue; he should know
565 Repub| behavior: like those who take colts amid noise and tumult to
566 Repub| of light, straight as a column, extending right through
567 Repub| retirement, but fighting and combating with other men. ~Yes, he
568 Repub| them, which enabled them to combine; if there had not been they
569 Repub| the writers of tragedy and comedy-did you not just now call them
570 Repub| time: "Even for the last comer, if he chooses wisely and
571 Repub| well known to be a great comforter. ~You are right, he replied;
572 Repub| generally, obedience to commanders and self-control in sensual
573 Repub| will be the best way of commencing the inquiry, and will probably
574 Repub| to revile, but rather to commend the world below, intimating
575 Repub| numbers, make all the terms commensurable and agreeable to one another.
576 Repub| replied. Anyone who has common-sense will remember that the bewilderments
577 Repub| lingering in our minds, a few commonplace instances will satisfy us
578 Repub| external provocation, a commotion may arise within-in the
579 Repub| fiction, which I propose to communicate gradually, first to the
580 Repub| men something of evil is communicated to themselves. And so the
581 Repub| if the badness of food communicates corruption to the body,
582 Repub| whether those whom evil communications have brought in from without,
583 Repub| now behold her, marred by communion with the body and other
584 Repub| single thing on earth is comparable to it; and therefore, if
585 Repub| way of life, and making comparisons of him and others-is drawn
586 Repub| taking a bribe in order to compass a worse ruin." ~Yes, said
587 Repub| virtue which enters into this competition is justice? ~Exactly. ~Let
588 Repub| individually will be an ignoble competitor in a State for any prize
589 Repub| is no longer life. Some complain of the slights which are
590 Repub| But to me, Socrates, these complainers seem to blame that which
591 Repub| when he hears his mother complaining that her husband has no
592 Repub| who has never spoilt his complexion and has plenty of superfluous
593 Repub| rhythms. Exactly. ~There complexity engendered license, and
594 Repub| doctoring and increasing and complicating their disorders, and always
595 Repub| power of command, and in the composition of these he has mingled
596 Repub| must be the fairest of compositions and cannot be compounded
597 Repub| compositions and cannot be compounded of many elements? ~Certainly
598 Repub| period of human birth is comprehended in a number in which first
599 Repub| those who have most of this comprehension, and who are most steadfast
600 Repub| dialectical talent: the comprehensive mind is always the dialectical. ~
601 Repub| justice; it is a mean or compromise, between the best of all,
602 Repub| kind. Bodily exercise, when compulsory, does no harm to the body;
603 Repub| Will the creature feel any compunction at tyrannizing over them? ~
604 Repub| other good man who is his comrade. ~Yes; that is our principle. ~
605 Repub| the army from his youthful comrades; every one of them in succession
606 Repub| when in the water; and the concave becomes convex, owing to
607 Repub| everywhere appears and never conceals himself, then again the
608 Repub| the students, who are very conceited, would not attend to him.
609 Repub| endeavoring to meet the conceptions of those who have never
610 Repub| which is the true self and concernment of man: for the just man
611 Repub| division of our task is concluded, let us find the point at
612 Repub| language of harmony and concord will be more often heard
613 Repub| them talking about their condensed notes, as they call them;
614 Repub| and in how many ways it conduces to our desired end, if pursued
615 Repub| represents him when by prudent conduct he has attained his end,
616 Repub| some divine power must have conducted us to a primary form of
617 Repub| and barbers, as well as confectioners and cooks; and swineherds,
618 Repub| are thought, of Athenian confectionery? ~Certainly not. ~All such
619 Repub| nothing? ~Certainly, he confers a benefit. ~Then now, Thrasymachus,
620 Repub| flutes, while the other, confiding in him, will do what he
621 Repub| necessary appetites, and confines his expenditure to them;
622 Repub| treasures in the city, he will confiscate and spend them; and in so
623 Repub| gentle force of attainder, or confiscation, or death, which, as you
624 Repub| also be toils and pains and conflicts prescribed for them, in
625 Repub| reciters will be expected to conform-that God is not the author of
626 Repub| power of true opinion in conformity with law about real and
627 Repub| multitude is seldom willing to congregate unless they get a little
628 Repub| certain, and should not conjecture only; for of all questions,
629 Repub| the operation of them when conjoined; he will then look at the
630 Repub| true. ~And now tell me, I conjure you, has not imitation been
631 Repub| mind on which the art of conjuring and of deceiving by light
632 Repub| parent of those who are thus connected with him. ~Capital, I said;
633 Repub| strength, rank, and great connections in the State-you understand
634 Repub| determined to persevere and conquer. His noble spirit will not
635 Repub| wholly set on ruling and conquering and getting fame? ~True. ~
636 Repub| There might be reason in the conqueror depriving the conquered
637 Repub| disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty, and there is
638 Repub| when they have made many conquests and received defeats at
639 Repub| answering; at length he consented to begin. Behold, he said,
640 Repub| and weaken the man, who is consequently liable to be dragged about
641 Repub| I think you will be more considerate and will acknowledge that
642 Repub| cock; his entire art will consist in imitation of voice and
643 Repub| the justice of the State consisted in each of the three classes
644 Repub| of this arrangement the consistency of the argument with itself
645 Repub| harmony compare the sounds and consonances which are heard only, and
646 Repub| And of individuals who consort with the mob and seek to
647 Repub| describing? For when a man consorts with the many, and exhibits
648 Repub| the same spot and always conspiring against one another. ~That,
649 Repub| drink? ~Yes, he said, it constantly happens. ~And in such a
650 Repub| But ought we to attempt to construct one? I said; for to do so,
651 Repub| of such productions and constructions; and as to the mathematical
652 Repub| every other creative and constructive art are full of them-weaving,
653 Repub| the whole." ~If he were to consult me, I should say to him:
654 Repub| them live as usual, herein consulting the interests of the State;
655 Repub| exists in the soul waste and consume her? Do they by attaching
656 Repub| which are common to all, and contain nothing private, or individual;
657 Repub| have had no experience or contamination of evil habits when young.
658 Repub| the politics of which he contemns and neglects; and there
659 Repub| hypotheses only: these are also contemplated by the understanding, and
660 Repub| the science of dialectic contemplates, are clearer than the notions
661 Repub| one who passes from divine contemplations to the evil state of man,
662 Repub| combined with overweening contempt of gods and men. ~You are
663 Repub| am sure that I should be contented-will not you? ~Yes, I will. ~
664 Repub| the middle principle of contentiousness and passion, and becomes
665 Repub| and it is essential to the continuance of life? ~Yes. ~But the
666 Repub| has now been prescribed continues to prevail in her, will
667 Repub| beginning in early youth and continuing far into life, at length
668 Repub| rhapsodists, players, dancers, contractors; also makers of divers kinds
669 Repub| for we will all make a contribution for Socrates. ~Yes, he replied,
670 Repub| military stratagems and contrivances, and in the waging of everlasting
671 Repub| and gymnastics; we were contriving influences which would prepare
672 Repub| replied, is the ordering or controlling of certain pleasures and
673 Repub| coldly on the subtleties of controversy, of which the end is opinion
674 Repub| should give them the ordinary conveniences of life. People who are
675 Repub| which is the food most convenient for soldiers, requiring
676 Repub| wine-cup, while their wheel is conveniently at hand, and working at
677 Repub| imagine that such a fabric of convention can ever become science? ~
678 Repub| one another embraced and conversed, the souls which came from
679 Repub| like better, Cephalus, than conversing with aged men; for I regard
680 Repub| the utmost until I either convert him and other men, or do
681 Repub| has a power of drawing and converting the mind to the contemplation
682 Repub| and the concave becomes convex, owing to the illusion about
683 Repub| order which will have to be conveyed to our guardians: Let our
684 Repub| Glaucon, no adversary need convict you, for you yourselves,
685 Repub| believe that you are not convinced-this I infer from your general
686 Repub| with fear and is full of convulsions and distractions, even as
687 Repub| well as confectioners and cooks; and swineherds, too, who
688 Repub| not admire, I said, the coolness and dexterity of these ready
689 Repub| which the imitations are copies. ~Quite true, he replied. ~
690 Repub| as you will agree, is the coping-stone of the sciences, and is
691 Repub| rot of timber, or rust of copper and iron: in everything,
692 Repub| administer any soothing cordial or advice to him, without
693 Repub| you allow him to have a Corinthian girl as his fair friend? ~
694 Repub| artificers of lyres with three corners and complex scales, or the
695 Repub| to practise upon the body corporate with medicines. Now you
696 Repub| and avarice in robbing a corpse, and also a degree of meanness
697 Repub| And how is the error to be corrected? ~We should rather say that
698 Repub| They will use friendly correction, but will not enslave or
699 Repub| the speaker, if he speaks correctly, is always pretty much the
700 Repub| opponents; they will be correctors, not enemies? ~Just so. ~
701 Repub| let us defer the further correlation and subdivision of the subjects
702 Repub| are simple and have their correlatives simple. ~I do not know what
703 Repub| them. ~And, as knowledge corresponded to being and ignorance of
704 Repub| being a better man than his corruptors, he was drawn in both directions
705 Repub| and is there no evil which corrupts the soul? ~Yes, he said,
706 Repub| sight is by far the most costly and complex piece of workmanship
707 Repub| attacks from without; the one counselling, and the other fighting
708 Repub| want a just man to be your counsellor in the purchase or sale
709 Repub| classes, traders, auxiliaries, counsellors, so may there not be in
710 Repub| game of which words are the counters; and yet all the time they
711 Repub| to have been incapable of counting his own fleet-how could
712 Repub| right. ~If then, in the countless ages of the past, or at
713 Repub| performance is in town or country-that makes no difference-they
714 Repub| fighting under his leader, and courageously executing his commands and
715 Repub| about their hunting and coursing, their gymnastic and equestrian
716 Repub| that; and he will also be courteous to freemen, and remarkably
717 Repub| there arise laws and mutual covenants; and that which is ordained
718 Repub| a time he struggled and covered his eyes, but at length
719 Repub| only, and have no other covering; and he must be imagined
720 Repub| mean, or a boaster, or a coward-can he, I say, ever be unjust
721 Repub| he replied. ~Then let me crave your assent also to a further
722 Repub| of wind and hail, or the creaking of wheels, and pulleys,
723 Repub| Well, and were we not creating an ideal of a perfect State? ~
724 Repub| present. ~That would not be creditable. ~Certainly not, I said;
725 Repub| have to watch, or they will creep into the city unobserved. ~
726 Repub| For, surely, Socrates, Creophylus, the companion of Homer,
727 Repub| names, are first, those of Crete and Sparta, which are generally
728 Repub| his mentioning a complex Cretic rhythm; also a dactylic
729 Repub| the meaning of his several cries, and by what sounds, when
730 Repub| no conceivable folly or crime-not excepting incest or any
731 Repub| evil, and at every such crisis meets the blows of fortune
732 Repub| to Timaeus Hermocrates, Critias, and a nameless person,
733 Repub| dangers, nor at any other critical moment were to lose their
734 Repub| bleat like a sheep, or crow like a cock; his entire
735 Repub| left, must not his desires, crowding in the nest like young ravens,
736 Repub| in royal apparel, and set crowns of gold on their heads,
737 Repub| he is a parricide, and a cruel guardian of an aged parent;
738 Repub| members are broken off and crushed and damaged by the waves
739 Repub| nest like young ravens, be crying aloud for food; and he,
740 Repub| evolution (or squared and cubed) obtaining three intervals
741 Repub| declare that he is four cubits high, can he help believing
742 Repub| reason of a knowledge which cultivates the earth; that would give
743 Repub| husbandman, fostering and cultivating the gentle qualities, and
744 Repub| he to whom is given the cup of unmingled ill, ~"Him
745 Repub| bread and meat, and the cup-bearer carries round wine which
746 Repub| thirsting for freedom has evil cup-bearers presiding over the feast,
747 Repub| right? ~Glaucon said: If curiosity makes a philosopher, you
748 Repub| need of the dross which is current among men, and ought not
749 Repub| have draught cattle, and curriers and weavers fleeces and
750 Repub| their wealth, refuse to curtail by law the extravagance
751 Repub| aged. He was seated on a cushioned chair, and had a garland
752 Repub| penetrates into manners and customs; whence, issuing with greater
753 Repub| imagine me to be talking of cutpurses. ~Even this profession,
754 Repub| Mortal souls, behold a new cycle of life and mortality. Your
755 Repub| complex Cretic rhythm; also a dactylic or heroic, and he arranged
756 Repub| excellently wrought by the hand of Daedalus, or some other great artist,
757 Repub| off a vine-branch with a dagger or with a chisel, and in
758 Repub| and other furniture; also dainties and perfumes and incense
759 Repub| fears and lusts? His soul is dainty and greedy, and yet alone,
760 Repub| broken off and crushed and damaged by the waves in all sorts
761 Repub| the sense which is most damaging to the argument. ~Not at
762 Repub| Trojan war do not blame the damsel who gives him the drink,
763 Repub| of rhapsodists, players, dancers, contractors; also makers
764 Repub| further details about the dances of our citizens, or about
765 Repub| other in the very moment of danger-for where danger is, there is
766 Repub| again in the hour of public danger-he shall tell us about the
767 Repub| things -labors, lessons, dangers-and he who is most at home in
768 Repub| other hero or son of a god daring to do such impious and dreadful
769 Repub| tyranny; his mind having been darkened by folly and sensuality,
770 Repub| opinion appears to you to be darker than knowledge, but lighter
771 Repub| know. The way will be this: dating from the day of the hymeneal,
772 Repub| my mind with the dream as day-dreamers are in the habit of feasting
773 Repub| crew, but he is a little deaf and has a similar infirmity
774 Repub| therefore he is likely to be dearer than they are to the gods.
775 Repub| fated to have Sarpedon, dearest of men to me, subdued at
776 Repub| had been the cause of many deaths, or had betrayed or enslaved
777 Repub| is not the repayment of a debt-that is what you would imagine
778 Repub| also in private! liberating debtors, and distributing land to
779 Repub| the truth and to pay your debts-no more than this? And even
780 Repub| unite the latter with a deceitful regard to appearances, we
781 Repub| the desires when reason decides that she should not be opposed,
782 Repub| prove the greatest and most decisive of falls? ~Yes, the greatest;
783 Repub| puts on a new coat, and is decked out as a bridegroom going
784 Repub| you never remark how he declares that he had invented number,
785 Repub| of Asclepius would have declined to attend them. ~They were
786 Repub| ill-governed city, of which he declines the honors and offices,
787 Repub| food, whether staleness, decomposition, or any other bad quality,
788 Repub| injustice; there is to be no deduction, but we must allow him,
789 Repub| will. ~Say to him, that, in deeming the best votaries of philosophy
790 Repub| His mind has a soil deep and fertile, Out of which
791 Repub| feast, and has drunk too deeply of the strong wine of freedom,
792 Repub| death in battle rather than defeat and slavery, who believes
793 Repub| Socrates; and yet if they are defeated, which may often happen
794 Repub| many conquests and received defeats at the hands of many, they
795 Repub| friend, of one who, being defective in some part of virtue,
796 Repub| either as plaintiff or defendant, but is actually led by
797 Repub| are they not capable of defending themselves? ~No, I said;
798 Repub| of shadows." ~But let us defer the further correlation
799 Repub| true, he replied, if the deficiency be in his soul; but if there
800 Repub| and our soul will not be defiled. Wherefore my counsel is
801 Repub| better when they chance to be deformed, will be put away in some
802 Repub| work are equally liable to degenerate? ~That is evident. ~Here,
803 Repub| instead of persisting, degenerates and receives another character.
804 Repub| still-I mean the duty of degrading the offspring of the guardians
805 Repub| backward? ~Yes, and I have delayed you by my hurry; the ludicrous
806 Repub| superintend and command and deliberate and the like. Are not these
807 Repub| would you approve of the delicacies, as they are thought, of
808 Repub| goes beyond this, of more delicate food, or other luxuries,
809 Repub| are the justice which they deliver to their subjects, and him
810 Repub| but to Apollo, the god of Delphi, there remains the ordering
811 Repub| applause of the multitude has deluded into the belief that they
812 Repub| having, like a bathman, deluged our ears with his words,
813 Repub| inquiry is imperatively demanded. ~You are clearly referring,
814 Repub| do not wish to be openly demanding payment for governing and
815 Repub| and formidable, and their demands are many. ~They are indeed,
816 Repub| intensified by liberty overmasters democracy-the truth being that the excessive
817 Repub| arrangements, and I shall demonstrate that our plan, if executed,
818 Repub| not. ~Her immortality is demonstrated by the previous argument,
819 Repub| I think, furnish a new demonstration. ~Of what nature? ~It seems
820 Repub| in a foreign land becomes denaturalized, and is wont to be overpowered
821 Repub| immortality of the soul boldly denies this, and says that the
822 Repub| saw on one side the souls departing at either opening of heaven
823 Repub| spoke, I said; and in all departments of knowledge, as experience
824 Repub| as steps and points of departure into a world which is above
825 Repub| natures which can better be depended upon, which in a battle
826 Repub| this and then to that which depends on this, by successive steps
827 Repub| mode of dressing the hair; deportment and manners in general.
828 Repub| when in his right mind has deposited arms with me and he asks
829 Repub| the greater number utterly depraved, we were then led to inquire
830 Repub| found praising his own and depreciating that of others: the money-maker
831 Repub| said. Do not their leaders deprive the rich of their estates
832 Repub| be? he replied; pleasure deprives a man of the use of his
833 Repub| reason in the conqueror depriving the conquered of their harvest,
834 Repub| the name which the city derives from the possession of this
835 Repub| Asclepius did not instruct his descendants in valetudinarian arts,
836 Repub| Amazed at the sight, he descended into the opening, where,
837 Repub| of life such as we have described-common education, common children;
838 Repub| intimating to them that their descriptions are untrue, and will do
839 Repub| four special ones which are deserving of note. ~What do you mean?
840 Repub| said, that we may fairly designate him as the imitator of that
841 Repub| guardians may be more properly designated auxiliaries and supporters
842 Repub| itself, ours may claim such a designation? ~Certainly, he replied. ~
843 Repub| sight, health, which are desirable not only in themselves,
844 Repub| careless, and let not the last despair." And when he had spoken,
845 Repub| the hands of another; he despises none of them, but encourages
846 Repub| State, one or more of them, despising the honors of this present
847 Repub| Does not the practice of despoiling an enemy afford an excuse
848 Repub| country people prepare; for a dessert we shall give them figs
849 Repub| entrails of other victims is destined to become a wolf. Did you
850 Repub| true saviours and not the destroyers of the State, whereas our
851 Repub| most singular circumstance) destroys and distracts from philosophy
852 Repub| is equally subversive and destructive of ship or State. ~Most
853 Repub| their plan, and delight in detailing what they mean to do when
854 Repub| into view, and in this I detect a certain peculiarity. ~
855 Repub| and birds would greatly deteriorate? ~Certainly. ~And the same
856 Repub| potter? ~Yes; he greatly deteriorates. ~But, on the other hand,
857 Repub| to be two causes of the deterioration of the arts. ~What are they? ~
858 Repub| fortune with firm step and a determination to endure; and another to
859 Repub| a lover of learning who determines what he likes and dislikes
860 Repub| say, is what they utterly detest. ~There is nothing more
861 Repub| falsehood, which is their detestation, and they will love the
862 Repub| else, he will suffer from detraction. ~Of course. ~And if a necessity
863 Repub| true. ~Again, as to the devastation of Hellenic territory or
864 Repub| stands still, for there is no deviation from the perpendicular;
865 Repub| eternal and subject to no deviation-that would be absurd; and it
866 Repub| shadow and other ingenious devices imposes, having an effect
867 Repub| casual tales which may be devised by casual persons, and to
868 Repub| the occupation to which he devotes himself may be of an opposite
869 Repub| I said, the coolness and dexterity of these ready ministers
870 Repub| square and the absolute diameter, and so on-the forms which
871 Repub| moderation. And with such a diet they may be expected to
872 Repub| prescribes for him a course of dietetics, and tells him that he must
873 Repub| further question, whether this dieting of disorders, which is an
874 Repub| that forms of government differ-there are tyrannies, and there
875 Repub| or country-that makes no difference-they are there. Now are we to
876 Repub| yet God has framed you differently. Some of you have the power
877 Repub| tear the city in pieces by differing about "mine" and "not mine;"
878 Repub| doubt about the numerous difficulties in which this question is
