3506 Text |               which he sees or hears, may not false opinion arise
3507 Text |               they? If you tell me, I may perhaps understand you better;
3508 Text |               you.~SOCRATES: A person may think that some things which

3515 Text |              not exist, or that a man may not know that which he knows;—
3516 Text |              I think that the attempt may be worth making.~THEAETETUS:
3517 Text |               SOCRATES: Perhaps there may be no difference; but still

3521 Text |           which I am speaking? As you may suppose a man to have caught

3531 Text |              opinion about it; for he may have the knowledge, not
3532 Text |           thus false and true opinion may exist, and the difficulties
3533 Text |             well argue that ignorance may make a man know, and blindness
3534 Text |     THEAETETUS: Perhaps, Socrates, we may have been wrong in making
3535 Text |          foolish images, and which he may be said to know while he

3538 Text |            perfected in knowledge and may be all that I have been

Timaeus
     Part
3548 Intro|          opening discourse of Timaeus may be compared with the more
3549 Intro|        Phaedrus.~To the same cause we may attribute the want of plan.
3550 Intro|          determine how Plato’s cosmos may be presented to the reader
3551 Intro|               shorter form; or how we may supply a thread of connexion
3552 Intro|        commented upon: (8) lastly, we may examine in what points Plato
3553 Intro|           city or house of their own, may through want of experience
3554 Intro|             which you were describing may be identified with the reality
3555 Intro|            our antediluvian ancestors may be your citizens. ‘That
3556 Intro|            special need of their aid. May my words be acceptable to
3557 Intro|               acceptable to them, and may I speak in the manner which
3558 Intro|             copy of something; and we may assume that words are akin
3559 Intro|           only men; to probability we may attain but no further.~SOCRATES:
3560 Intro|     indissoluble. That which is bound may be dissolved, but only an
3561 Intro|         motion becomes irregular. You may imagine a position of the
3562 Intro|                but as qualities. They may be compared to images made
3563 Intro|              The containing principle may be likened to a mother,
3564 Intro|             nature to a child; and we may also remark that the matter
3565 Intro|              the intelligible. But we may say, speaking generally,
3566 Intro|             sides (scalene). These we may fairly assume to be the
3567 Intro|              easily modelled of them, may be assigned the form of
3568 Intro|           time.~In the next place, we may observe that there are different
3569 Intro|           through plants. Of these we may mention, first, wine, which
3570 Intro|            together, in order that we may proceed at once to the sensations
3571 Intro|            the word of God. Still, we may venture to assert what is
3572 Intro|             passage of liquids, which may be explained in this way:—
3573 Intro|          place in order that the body may be watered and cooled and
3574 Intro|        violence is painful.~Every one may understand the origin of
3575 Intro|              origin of diseases. They may be occasioned by the disarrangement
3576 Intro|             other ignorance, and they may be justly attributed to
3577 Intro|           strong and impassioned soul may ‘fret the pigmy body to
3578 Intro|               in like manner the body may be too much for the soul,
3579 Intro|         became stationary or extinct, may we not observe also that
3580 Intro|              that there have been and may be again periods in the
3581 Intro|              generalized at all. They may be said more truly to have
3582 Intro|             the world of sense, which may be compared to the wisdom
3583 Intro|              which he is speaking.~We may remark in passing, that
3584 Intro|       sensible objects; and like them may be regarded as eternal and
3585 Intro|                like the IDEA of good, may be viewed apart from the
3586 Intro|              the eye of faith! And we may say that only by an effort
3587 Intro|       Philebus.~The soul of the world may also be conceived as the
3588 Intro|            principle of the same, and may be compared with the modern
3589 Intro|    mathematical laws and figures. (We may observe by the way, that
3590 Intro|             So far the words of Plato may perhaps find an intelligible
3591 Intro|            intelligible world...So we may perhaps venture to paraphrase
3592 Intro|            the world. The explanation may help to fill up with figures
3593 Intro|              heavenly bodies; and (3) may possibly contain an allusion
3594 Intro|            explanation of Martin’s it may be objected, (1) that Plato
3595 Intro|              in Boeckh and Martin, we may now return to the main argument:
3596 Intro|           them to themselves, that he may be guiltless of their faults
3597 Intro|              All the objections which may be urged against Kant’s
3598 Intro|                By such reflections we may conceive the Greek to have
3599 Intro|      triangles, but each of its faces may be regarded as composed
3600 Intro|             and days of the year, God may be said to have ‘used in
3601 Intro|              Laws). Yet perhaps Plato may regard these sides or faces
3602 Intro|            for the weaker element: it may escape to its kindred, or
3603 Intro|        densest, only a rarer: but air may become a denser or a rarer.
3604 Intro|       treating of sensation, but they may be more conveniently considered
3605 Intro|              doctrines of the Timaeus may be summed up as follows: (
3606 Intro|             relatively at rest; or we may conceive of them as resting,
3607 Intro|    twenty-four hours. The same remark may be applied to the complexity
3608 Intro|             explanations. A doubt (2) may also be raised as to whether
3609 Intro|               immobility. To which it may be replied that Plato never
3610 Intro|             him. On the other hand it may be urged that the further
3611 Intro|              other bodies are moving, may be truly said to act, equally
3612 Intro|             constitution, though they may be increased by bad education
3613 Intro|               which implies that they may be decreased by good education
3614 Intro|              that the animal passions may not interfere with the deliberations
3615 Intro|               intervals of time which may be observed in some intermittent
3616 Intro|              treatment of physicians. May we not claim for Plato an
3617 Intro|  disproportion in the other. Here too may be a presentiment that in
3618 Intro|             of the one over the other may be exerted in a manner which
3619 Intro|               discovery. Some of them may seem old-fashioned, but
3620 Intro|               seem old-fashioned, but may nevertheless have had a
3621 Intro|            explained by them. Thus we may remark in passing that the
3622 Intro|               to a certain extent and may hereafter be of far more
3623 Intro|            were unable to prove them. May they not have had, like
3624 Intro|              world, and of this Plato may be thought to have had an
3625 Intro|               had an anticipation. He may be described as confusing
3626 Intro|             some after-thoughts which may be conveniently brought
3627 Intro|              comparatively slight. We may fill up the lacunae of the
3628 Intro|              Republic or Phaedrus: we may identify the same and other
3629 Intro|            Greek) of the Philebus. We may find in the Laws or in the
3630 Intro|            interstices of the Timaeus may also be compared with his (
3631 Intro|            time. These contradictions may be softened or concealed
3632 Intro|              language (Sophist) which may be compared with the hesitating
3633 Intro|             to tell us the origin. He may be said, in the language
3634 Intro|       curiosity worthy of remark), we may take occasion to correct
3635 Intro|             The ethics of the Timaeus may be summed up in the single
3636 Intro|               of another subject’ or ‘may be more suitably discussed
3637 Intro|           from an Egyptian source? It may be replied that there is
3638 Intro|               engraved. The statement may be false—there are similar
3639 Intro|             than Plato, and therefore may have borrowed it from him.
3640 Intro|             the internal evidence, we may remark that the story is
3641 Intro|              a poem by him. M. Martin may also be gently censured

3648 Text |        habitations of their own, they may fail in their conception
3649 Text |       philosophers and statesmen, and may not know what they do and
3650 Text |               to Socrates, so that he may help us to judge whether
3651 Text |              and the surrounding land may be most truly called a boundless
3652 Text |               and pray that our words may be acceptable to them and
3653 Text |              copy and the original we may assume that words are akin
3654 Text |             is already accepted by us—may we beg of you to proceed
3655 Text |           language of probability, we may say that the world became
3656 Text |               when we are at leisure, may have the consideration which
3657 Text |               will. All that is bound may be undone, but only an evil
3658 Text |               In order then that they may be mortal, and that this
3659 Text |                and that this universe may be truly universal, do ye,
3660 Text |            our own vagaries. The same may be affirmed of speech and
3661 Text |             correct any discord which may have arisen in the courses
3662 Text |          questions about the elements may be fairly raised?~In the
3663 Text |              any of them, whatever it may be, is one thing rather
3664 Text |              is a resemblance. And we may liken the receiving principle
3665 Text |   intermediate nature to a child; and may remark further, that if
3666 Text |           previous considerations, we may truly say that fire is that
3667 Text |            can: and lastly, every man may be said to share in true

3672 Text |           copiously mingled with them may occur in two substances

3674 Text |             is hot; and about this we may reason from the dividing

3678 Text |               to tend upwards. And we may detect ourselves who are
3679 Text |               which it originates. We may in general assume sound
3680 Text |               creations. Wherefore we may distinguish two sorts of
3681 Text |              the other necessary, and may seek for the divine in all
3682 Text |            described in order that it may give prophetic intimations.

3685 Text |      everything that partakes of life may be truly called a living

3687 Text |               origin of this movement may be supposed to be as follows.

3691 Text |               in order that the blood may not be so liquefied by heat

3700 Text |           then, the following remarks may be offered. Of the men who
3701 Text |              or led unrighteous lives may with reason be supposed
3702 Text |             gain wisdom and folly.~We may now say that our discourse
