878 7 | conceive the two as in a state of division, for if they

880 7 | be otherwise if the whole State became the director of these
881 7 | they had the help of the State, they would some day emerge
882 7 | my hurry; the ludicrous state of solid geometry, which,
883 7 | existence if encouraged by the State, let us go on to astronomy,
884 7 | the children of your ideal State, whom you are nurturing
885 7 | unconsciously err; and the State makes a ruler, and the individual
886 7 | constitution and of the State; but, if our pupils are
887 7 | Now, when a man is in this state, and the questioning spirit

893 7 | Enough, then, of the perfect State, and of the man who bears
894 8 | conclusion that in the perfect State wives and children are to
895 8 | themselves and of the whole State. ~True, I said; and now
896 8 | finished the description of the State: you said that such a State
897 8 | State: you said that such a State was good, and that the man
898 8 | things to relate both of State and man. And you said further,

900 8 | clearness, of taking the State first and then proceeding
901 8 | hence the young men of your State will be less cultivated.
902 8 | proceed? Clearly, the new State, being in a mean between
903 8 | oligarchy and the perfect State, will partly follow one
904 8 | all these respects this State will resemble the former. ~
905 8 | of everlasting wars-this State will be for the most part
906 8 | such the character of this State, which has been described
907 8 | is like the timocratical State. ~Exactly. ~His origin is
908 8 | set over against another State;" ~or rather, as our plan
909 8 | requires, begin with the State. ~By all means. ~I believe
910 8 | rich men are honored in the State, virtue and the virtuous
911 8 | inevitable division: such a State is not one, but two States,
912 8 | of all, and to which this State first begins to be liable. ~
913 8 | also first begins in this State. ~The evil is certainly
914 8 | a whit more good to the State for the purposes of citizenship?
915 8 | whenever you see paupers in a State, somewhere in that neighborhood
916 8 | evil constitution of the State? ~True. ~Such, then, is
917 8 | individual who answers to this State. ~By all means. ~Does not
918 8 | sudden foundering against the State as upon a sunken reef, and
919 8 | whom he came is like the State out of which oligarchy came. ~
920 8 | not a true image of the State which he represents? ~He
921 8 | by him as well as by the State. ~You see that he is not
922 8 | ignoble competitor in a State for any prize of victory,
923 8 | answers to the oligarchical State? ~There can be no doubt. ~
924 8 | the good at which such a State aims is to become as rich
925 8 | in citizens of the same State to any considerable extent;
926 8 | pauper to abound in the State. ~Yes, he said, there are
927 8 | greatly lessened in the State. ~Yes, they will be greatly
928 8 | indifferent. ~Such is the state of affairs which prevails
929 8 | there is weakness in the State there is also likely to
930 8 | democratical allies, and then the State falls sick, and is at war
931 8 | Clearly. ~Then in this kind of State there will be the greatest
932 8 | are many men to whom this State, which is spangled with
933 8 | has a mind to establish a State, as we have been doing,
934 8 | choice, he may found his State. ~He will be sure to have
935 8 | for you to govern in this State, even if you have the capacity,
936 8 | consider, as in the case of the State, how he comes into being. ~
937 8 | many; he answers to the State which we described as fair
938 8 | beautiful of all, man and State alike, tyranny and the tyrant;
939 8 | and public. Now, in such a State, can liberty have any limit? ~
940 8 | several lesser ones: In such a state of society the master fears
941 8 | democracy than in any other State: for, truly, the she-dogs,
942 8 | physician and lawgiver of the State ought, like the wise bee-master,
943 8 | were in the oligarchical State. ~That is true. ~And in
944 8 | Because in the oligarchical State they are disqualified and
945 8 | standing up in the chariot of State with the reins in his hand,
946 8 | the man, and also of the State in which a creature like
947 8 | made a purgation of the State. ~Yes, he said, and a rare
948 8 | not receive them into our State, because they are the eulogists
949 9 | on, as a tyrant leads a State, to the performance of any
950 9 | only a few of them in the State, and the rest of the people
951 9 | which they inflict upon a State, do not come within a thousand

953 9 | man like the democratical State; and the same of the others? ~
954 9 | others? ~Certainly. ~And as State is to State in virtue and
955 9 | Certainly. ~And as State is to State in virtue and happiness,
956 9 | of the individual and the State; bearing this in mind, and
957 9 | asked. ~Beginning with the State, I replied, would you say
958 9 | well as masters in such a State? ~Yes, he said, I see that
959 9 | Then if the man is like the State, I said, must not the same
960 9 | in my opinion. ~And the State which is enslaved under
961 9 | True. ~And must not such a State and such a man be always
962 9 | Yes, indeed. ~Is there any State in which you will find more
963 9 | you held the tyrannical State to be the most miserable
964 9 | distractions, even as the State which he resembles: and
965 9 | the greatest tyrant of his State? ~Make the proclamation
966 9 | individual soul, like the State, has been divided by us
967 9 | And there is a neutral state which is neither pleasure
968 9 | nor pain? ~There is. ~A state which is intermediate, and
969 9 | Then the intermediate state of rest will be pleasure
970 9 | pain and the intermediate state; so that when they are only
971 9 | neutral or intermediate state, they firmly believe that
972 9 | inanitions of the bodily state? ~Yes. ~And ignorance and
973 9 | to the constitution of a State, and by cultivation of this
974 10 | perceive in the order of our State, there is none which upon
