1504 Repub|            other science can be placed higher-the nature of knowledge can

1506 Repub|             strong beast who is fed by him-he would learn how to approach
1507 Repub|               should be of no avail to him-the daughter of Chryses should
1508 Repub|                person may inflict upon him-these he deems to be just, and,
1509 Repub|                all their fears are for him-they have none for themselves. ~
1510 Repub|           there are no freemen to help him-will he not be in an agony of

1518 Repub|             handed down to posterity a Homeric way of life, such as was
1519 Repub|             said Glaucon; not even the Homerids themselves pretend that
1520 Repub|               should they ever acquire homes or lands or moneys of their
1521 Repub|             gods; and as to the sweet "honey-pale," as they are called, what
1522 Repub|               is like the drone in the honeycomb, and that the one is the

1525 Repub|                said. ~And the lover of honor-what will be his opinion? Will
1526 Repub|             one another with horns and hoofs which are made of iron;
1527 Repub|        revolutions turn. The shaft and hook of this spindle are made

1529 Repub|                who is neither snub nor hooked has the grace of regularity:
1530 Repub|          having plunged me into such a hopeless discussion; but now hear
1531 Repub|             and good-will, with bright hopes. ~Yes, he said, and he will

1536 Repub|                I do not say that these horrible stories may not have a use
1537 Repub|              remainder of your tale of horrors. But will you let me assume,
1538 Repub|                account, and practising hospitality; moreover, as you were saying
1539 Repub|              they are not sceptical or hostile. ~I said: My good friend,

1541 Repub|               close up and, like young hounds, have a taste of blood given
1542 Repub|           example, that the science of house-building is a kind of knowledge which

1544 Repub|              buy necessaries for their household, borrowing and then repudiating,
1545 Repub|             own, they will become good housekeepers and husbandmen instead of
1546 Repub|            saved from money-making and housekeeping to such pursuits; and even
1547 Repub|           wasting time in setting up a howl, but always accustoming
1548 Repub|           saying of "the yelping hound howling at her lord," or of one "
1549 Repub|             ground may take the purple hue in full perfection. The
1550 Repub|             termed by her "slaves" who hug their chains, and men of
1551 Repub|                and sees only the outer hull, may believe the beast to
1552 Repub|                 yes. ~And is not their humanity to the condemned in some
1553 Repub|               tendency to civilize and humanize them in their relations

1555 Repub|       themselves. The pilot should not humbly beg the sailors to be commanded

1557 Repub|         suffered tenfold; or once in a hundred years-such being reckoned

1562 Repub|             such as the whole tribe of hunters and actors, of whom one
1563 Repub|           arrived, Glaucon, when, like huntsmen, we should surround the

1587 Repub|               complaints about her own ill-treatment which women are so fond

1593 Repub|        seriously devote himself to the image-making branch? Would he allow imitation
1594 Repub|               of the man who bears its image-there is no difficulty in seeing
1595 Repub|                evil, nor will this our imaginary State ever be realized? ~

1598 Repub|             are, in some cases, wholly imitative-instances of this are supplied by
1599 Repub|            third-not an image maker or imitator-and if you are able to discern
1600 Repub|         knowledge, and not been a mere imitator-can you imagine, I say, that
1601 Repub|             and in beauty and virtue? ~Immeasurably greater. ~Well, I said,

1604 Repub|      difference between them, which is immense. By heaven, would not such
1605 Repub|              Socrates; the doctrine is immoral. ~Then I suppose that we

1610 Repub|             and is therefore unable to impart this conception, in whatever
1611 Repub|              higher education is to be imparted, and who are to share in
1612 Repub|            which they mightily fasten, imparting grace, and making the soul
1613 Repub|            citizens become; they chafe impatiently at the least touch of authority,

1615 Repub|              of disorders, which is an impediment to the application of the

1617 Repub|              revolution of the spindle impelled by her hand, thus ratifying
1618 Repub|                that further inquiry is imperatively demanded. ~You are clearly

1625 Repub|               to have some other name, implying greater clearness than opinion

1627 Repub|              will. ~Not to mention the importers and exporters, who are called
1628 Repub|                in which the senses are imposed upon by distance, and by
1629 Repub|                other ingenious devices imposes, having an effect upon us
1630 Repub|                not real, but a sort of imposition? ~That is the inference. ~
1631 Repub|              arise questions about any impositions and exactions of market
1632 Repub|                such a contradiction is impossible-the same faculty cannot have

1635 Repub|                passionate and is quite impractical. ~Exactly. ~And so in gymnastics,

1643 Repub|               us. But that she may not impute to us any harshness or want
1644 Repub|              to me seemed to be a very inaccurate manner; whether you were
1645 Repub|               life-giving daughters of Inachus the river of Argos;" ~-let
1646 Repub|            every structure, animate or inanimate, and of every action of
1647 Repub|              cost; with magic arts and incantations binding heaven, as they
1648 Repub|              ones will be the greatest incentive to valor. ~That is quite
1649 Repub|           folly or crime-not excepting incest or any other unnatural union,
1650 Repub|                to which his poems only incidentally refer: we are not going

1652 Repub|         objections will confuse us, or incline us to believe that the same

1654 Repub|             less on the same amount of income; and when there is anything
1655 Repub|                State: when there is an income-tax, the just man will pay more
1656 Repub|                 I replied, and equally incompatible with the management of a
1657 Repub|                 with her marriage rite incomplete: for her own have fallen

1659 Repub|             the slave of two seemingly inconsistent passions, meanness, not
1660 Repub|              is also unsubstantial and incontinent. ~Verily, Socrates, said
1661 Repub|            draw out the argument to an inconvenient length. ~Adeimantus thought

1667 Repub|                some risk may fairly be incurred. ~Yes, very important. ~
1668 Repub|              Bendidea. ~For which I am indebted to you, I said, now that
1669 Repub|          intemperance and meanness and indecency in sculpture and building
1670 Repub|                age is likely to become indelible and unalterable; and therefore
1671 Repub|                other opinion was to be indelibly fixed by their nurture and
1672 Repub|               for their own sakes, and independently of their consequences, as,
1673 Repub|                all this, Socrates, was indicated by us at the beginning of
1674 Repub|             Nevertheless, the argument indicates this, if we would be happy,
1675 Repub|             not help feeling a sort of indignation at the authors of her disgrace:
1676 Repub|              Moreover, the science has indirect effects, which are not small. ~
1677 Repub|            answering to them (and only indirectly to the soul and body), in
1678 Repub|                shall fail, and that my indiscreet zeal will bring ridicule
1679 Repub|                to the condition of the individual-as in the body, when but a

1683 Repub|              the best men is the great inducement to rule? Of course you know

1685 Repub|                which is forcing him to indulge his sorrow? ~True. ~But
1686 Repub|                what he deemed moderate indulgence in various pleasures. After
1687 Repub|               he lives from day to day indulging the appetite of the hour;
1688 Repub|             that he should not be half industrious and half idle: as, for example,
1689 Repub|             not have a lame or halting industry-I mean, that he should not
1690 Repub|                arise dissimilarity and inequality and irregularity, which
1691 Repub|          anything so very unnatural or inexcusable in their case? or will you
1692 Repub|            wonder that persons who are inexperienced in the truth, as they have
1693 Repub|                when he describes how ~"Inextinguishable laughter arose among the

1697 Repub|                  And anything which is infected by any of these evils is
1698 Repub|          getting among the animals and infecting them. ~How do you mean? ~
1699 Repub|               not engender any natural infection-this we shall absolutely deny? ~

1704 Repub|               rich or in any other way influential, while they despise and
1705 Repub|          utters them, he is soothed or infuriated; and you may suppose further,
1706 Repub|            processes of evacuation and infusion: he did not want to lengthen

1713 Repub|               only last until the many innocent sufferers have compelled
1714 Repub|             yourself only a hesitating inquirer, which is my condition,
1715 Repub|          implant in the minds of fools insane desires of themselves; and
1716 Repub|               longer be guilty of such insanity; he will imitate the dialectician
1717 Repub|          individual or State, and will inscribe no laws, until they have
1718 Repub|               from a purer region, and insensibly draw the soul from earliest
1719 Repub|         pleasure, which are held to be inseparable from every action-in all
1720 Repub|              they have already ruined, insert their sting-that is, their

1724 Repub|                would not let him; they insisted that he should remain and
1725 Repub|               poor, if you know how to inspect the whole soul of him: all
1726 Repub|               music which, as we said, inspires temperance, will be reluctant
1727 Repub|           speaking in this and similar instances-but no artificer makes the ideas

1729 Repub|               remark. ~And surely this instinct of the dog is very charming;
