1028 1    |           discussion has been that I know nothing at all. For I know
1029 1    |           know nothing at all. For I know not what justice is, and
1030 1    |         therefore I am not likely to know whether it is or is not

1068 4    |              apparently the same, we know that they are really not
1069 4    |       correlatives simple. ~I do not know what you mean. ~Well, you
1070 4    |            what you mean. ~Well, you know of course that the greater
1071 4    |              having learned truly to know their own functions, will

1088 5    |      pleasure like yourself ought to know that all who are in the
1089 5    |           said; but I should like to know what you mean? ~To another,
1090 5    |            Does he who has knowledge know something or nothing? (You
1091 5    |       knowledge, and knowledge is to know the nature of being? ~Yes. ~

1096 6    |        replied; but I should like to know what is your opinion. ~Hear
1097 6    |     understand; but I should like to know more precisely what you
1098 6    |              asked. ~Why, I said, we know that all germs or seeds,
1099 6    |              the multitude; and they know that no politician is honest,
1100 6    |        replied; but I should like to know which of the governments
1101 6    |            are but human; and now, I know that you are going to ask,
1102 6    |          have often heard me say, we know so little; and, without

1105 6    |             opinion. ~And do you not know, I said, that all mere opinions
1106 6    |         explicit? he said. ~Why, you know, I said, that the eyes,
1107 6    |            everybody are supposed to know, and therefore they do not
1108 6    |         conclusion? ~Yes, he said, I know. ~And do you not know also
1109 6    |              I know. ~And do you not know also that although they

1114 7    |             of number or he will not know how to array his troops,

1118 7    |        philosophy? ~In this way: you know that there are certain principles
1119 8    |        disorder of a State. I do not know, do you? of any other constitution
1120 8    |            exist among them. ~Do you know, I said, that governments
1121 8    |              completed. And we shall know whether we ought to pursue
1122 8    |           the government of honor?-I know of no name for such a government
1123 8    |            like themselves. ~And you know, I said, that the old servants
1124 8    |        sovereign, and taught them to know their place, he compels
1125 8    |              of life? ~True. ~Do you know where you will have to look
1126 8    |              and unequals alike. ~We know her well. ~Consider now,
1127 8    |             he their father does not know how to educate them, wax
1128 8    |             that no one who does not know would believe how much greater
1129 8    |     authority, and at length, as you know, they cease to care even
1130 8    |          over them. ~Yes, he said, I know it too well. ~Such, my friend,
1131 8    |       question-you rather desired to know what is that disorder which
1132 9    |         takes his rest, then, as you know, he attains truth most nearly,
1133 9    |            tyrant? ~He has. ~And you know that a man who is deranged,
1134 9    |              gained their point they know them no more. ~Yes, truly. ~
1135 9    |              is the difference. ~You know that they live securely
1136 9    |            and is truly poor, if you know how to inspect the whole
1137 9    |             or painless-how shall we know who speaks truly? ~I cannot

1139 9    |     Unquestionably. Those, then, who know not wisdom and virtue, and
1140 9    |               Inevitably. ~Would you know the measure of the interval
1141 10   |              is? for I really do not know. ~A likely thing, then,
1142 10   |           thing, then, that I should know. ~Why not? for the duller
1143 10   |              artist-I should like to know what you would say of him. ~
1144 10   |             painter? I would like to know whether he may be thought
1145 10   |         Homer, who is at their head, know all the arts and all things
1146 10   |           right, and poets do really know the things about which they
1147 10   |               but we have a right to know respecting military tactics,
1148 10   |            good enough for those who know no more than he does, and
1149 10   |     Certainly. ~But does the painter know the right form of the bit

1151 10   |           breast-the best of us, you know, delight in giving way to
1152 10   |             most. ~Yes, of course, I know. ~But when any sorrow of

1324 Intro|           think that which we do not know to be that which we know:
1325 Intro|             know to be that which we know: e.g. Theaetetus may know
1326 Intro|            know: e.g. Theaetetus may know Socrates, but at a distance

1336 Intro|           understand,’ yet we do not know what knowledge is. ‘Why,
1337 Intro|       explain them now. The verb ‘to know’ has two senses, to have

1339 Intro|          that we do not know what we know, because we may know in

1341 Intro|              possess, what we do not know in another, i.e. use. But
1342 Intro|           ignorance could make a man know, or that blindness could
