  7 Intro|            Being and Not-being, as two spheres which exclude each

 20 Intro|    combinations and separations of two or more principles? I used
 21 Intro|        identify one or both of the two elements with being? At
 22 Intro|          we say: Are being and one two different names for the
 23 Intro|        thing? But how can there be two names when there is nothing

 42  Soph|    STRANGER: And of arts there are two kinds?~THEAETETUS: What
 43  Soph| acquisitive may be subdivided into two parts: there is exchange,
 44  Soph|          may be truly said to have two divisions, land-animal hunting,
 45  Soph|          further divided also into two principal kinds?~THEAETETUS:
 46  Soph|          hunting on land there are two principal divisions.~THEAETETUS:
 47  Soph|       hunting of tame animals into two parts.~THEAETETUS: How shall
 48  Soph|            there may be said to be two kinds?~THEAETETUS: What
 49  Soph|      respect?~STRANGER: There were two sorts of acquisitive art;
 50  Soph|          art of exchange there are two divisions, the one of giving,
 51  Soph|         selling to be divided into two parts.~THEAETETUS: How?~
 52  Soph|     exchange of the merchant is of two kinds: it is partly concerned
 53  Soph|             The latter should have two names,—one descriptive of
 54  Soph|          And controversy may be of two kinds.~THEAETETUS: What
 55  Soph|          and give to each of these two classes a name.~THEAETETUS:
 56  Soph|            you must catch him with two.~STRANGER: Yes, we must,
 57  Soph|            that purification is of two kinds.~THEAETETUS: Perhaps
 58  Soph|           greater pretender of the two. And as to your question
 59  Soph|         and I agree that there are two sorts of purification, and
 60  Soph|           further the first of the two.~THEAETETUS: Whatever line
 61  Soph|          And in the soul there are two kinds of evil.~THEAETETUS:
 62  Soph|     STRANGER: Then there are these two kinds of evil in the soul—
 63  Soph|            disputed—that there are two kinds of vice in the soul,
 64  Soph|          of the body are there not two arts which have to do with
 65  Soph|          which have to do with the two bodily states?~THEAETETUS:
 66  Soph|       kinds? At any rate there are two principal ones. Think.~THEAETETUS:
 67  Soph|       which divides ignorance into two halves. For a division of
 68  Soph|         division of ignorance into two parts will certainly imply
 69  Soph|          twofold, answering to the two divisions of ignorance.~
 70  Soph|          are we to distinguish the two?~STRANGER: There is the
 71  Soph|           think that I can discern two divisions of the imitative
 72  Soph|         tell me first what are the two divisions of which you are
 73  Soph|       STRANGER: These then are the two kinds of image-making—the
 74  Soph|         some in the dual (tine) of two, some in the plural (tines)
 75  Soph|           up; and another spoke of two principles,—a moist and
 76  Soph|       conclusion that to unite the two principles is safer, and
 77  Soph|        that when they talk of one, two, or more elements, which
 78  Soph|          hot and cold or any other two principles are the universe,
 79  Soph|           over and above the other two,—three in all, and not two?
 80  Soph|         two,—three in all, and not two? For clearly you cannot
 81  Soph|         cannot say that one of the two principles is being, and
 82  Soph|          you did, whichever of the two is identified with being,
 83  Soph|           they will be one and not two.’~THEAETETUS: Very true.~
 84  Soph|         answer is plainly that the two will still be resolved into
 85  Soph|           as one, and do you apply two names to the same thing?~
 86  Soph|          so?~STRANGER: To admit of two names, and to affirm that
 87  Soph|        that being is either one or two.~THEAETETUS: The difficulties
 88  Soph|            and motion. Between the two armies, Theaetetus, there
 89  Soph|           Certainly.~STRANGER: And two out of these three suppositions
 90  Soph|         Yes, by far.~STRANGER: And two of these are, as we affirm,
 91  Soph|           other than the remaining two, but the same with itself.~
 92  Soph|            is the meaning of these two words, ‘same’ and ‘other’?
 93  Soph|        same’ and ‘other’? Are they two new kinds other than the
 94  Soph|     consider being and other to be two names of the same class?~
 95  Soph|         your assent; for there are two sorts of intimation of being
 96  Soph|           quality of each of these two sentences?~THEAETETUS: The
 97  Soph|        STRANGER: The second of the two sentences which related
 98  Soph|          divided image-making into two sorts; the one likeness-making,
 99  Soph|         the first place, there are two kinds of creation.~THEAETETUS:
100  Soph|        human art. And so there are two kinds of making and production,
101  Soph|         now, subdivide each of the two sections which we have already.~
102  Soph|         all four parts or segments—two of them have reference to
103  Soph|           to us and are human, and two of them have reference to
104  Soph|         things themselves, but the two remaining parts may be called
105  Soph|          art is again divided into two parts.~THEAETETUS: Tell
106  Soph|         acknowledge that there are two kinds of production, and
107  Soph|      number the different kinds as two.~THEAETETUS: True.~STRANGER:
108  Soph|           you find that one of the two classes of imitators is
109  Soph|            There are certainly the two kinds which you describe.~
110  Soph|      latter class as having one or two divisions?~THEAETETUS: Answer
111  Soph|           there appear to me to be two; there is the dissembler,
