 42 Intro|        passing mention of economical science; the opposition of rest

 48 State|        assume these two divisions of science, which is one whole.~STRANGER:
 49 State|              the same; or is there a science or art answering to each
 50 State|             STRANGER: But surely the science of a true king is royal
 51 State|              of a true king is royal science?~YOUNG SOCRATES: Yes.~STRANGER:
 52 State|        clearly see that there is one science of all of them; and this
 53 State|             of all of them; and this science may be called either royal

 56 State|           supreme or ruling-for-self science, leaving the rest to receive
 57 State|               For, surely, the royal science is not like that of a master-workman,

 62 State|       STRANGER: In this way: let the science of managing pedestrian animals
 63 State|             all means.~STRANGER: The science of pure knowledge had, as
 64 State|     originally, a part which was the science of rule or command, and
 65 State|             knows that department of science. And he is their merry-maker

 69 State|      Certainly.~STRANGER: But if the science of the Statesman disappears,

 74 State|         certainly do not claim royal science.~YOUNG SOCRATES: Certainly
 75 State|            profess to share in royal science?~YOUNG SOCRATES: Certainly
 76 State|     principal claimants to political science would be found somewhere
 77 State|            of servile or ministerial science, and are thought to be the
 78 State|          said that royal power was a science?~YOUNG SOCRATES: Yes.~STRANGER:
 79 State|       SOCRATES: Yes.~STRANGER: And a science of a peculiar kind, which

 85 State|               In that case political science would certainly be the easiest
 86 State|              those who possess royal science, whether they rule or not,
 87 State|              really found to possess science, and are not mere pretenders,
 88 State|             who really had the royal science, if he had been able to

 94 State|              there any higher art or science, having power to decide
 95 State|           And do we acknowledge this science to be different from the
 96 State|       superior to this, or no single science to any other? Or ought this
 97 State|             any other? Or ought this science to be the overseer and governor
 98 State|             You mean to say that the science which judges whether we
 99 State|              must be superior to the science which is learned or which
100 State|          superior.~STRANGER: And the science which determines whether
101 State|              must be superior to the science which is able to persuade?~
102 State|               Very good; and to what science do we assign the power of
103 State|      rhetoric.~STRANGER: And to what science do we give the power of
104 State|              YOUNG SOCRATES: To that science which governs the arts of
105 State|             another sort of power or science?~YOUNG SOCRATES: What science?~
106 State|        science?~YOUNG SOCRATES: What science?~STRANGER: The science which
107 State|          What science?~STRANGER: The science which has to do with military
108 State|             that to be regarded as a science or not?~YOUNG SOCRATES:
109 State|             regarded as other than a science?~STRANGER: And is the art
110 State|             agree.~STRANGER: And the science which is over them all,
111 State|            In like manner, the royal science appears to me to be the
