Jowett: Laches 181d-184c — De que vale a esgrima para formar a juventude?

Jowett: Gorgias 491d-505d — Análise da noção de autoridade
Soc. But whether rulers or subjects will they or will they not have more than themselves, my friend ? Cal. What do you mean ? Soc. I mean that every man is his own ruler ; but perhaps you think that there is no necessity for him to rule himself ; he is only required…

Jowett: Gorgias 451a-455a — O que é precisamente a retórica
Soc. Well, then, let me now have the rest of my answer : — seeing that rhetoric is one of those arts which works mainly by the use of words, and there are other arts which also use words, tell me what is that quality in words with which rhetoric is concerned : — Suppose…

Jowett: Theaetetus 200d-210a — Retomada da investigação da definição do saber
Soc. Then, once more, what shall we say that knowledge is ? — for we are not going to lose heart as yet. Theaet. Certainly, I shall not lose heart, if you do not. Soc. What definition will be most consistent with our former views ? Theaet. I cannot think of any but our old…
