Jowett: Theaetetus 172a-177c — Discussão estendida à concepção da vida
Soc. Or again, in politics, while affirming that just and unjust, honourable and disgraceful, holy and unholy, are in reality to each state such as the state thinks and makes lawful, and that in determining these matters no individual or state is wiser than another, still the followers of Protagoras will not deny that in…

Jowett: Euthydemus 304b-307c — Epílogo
Such was the discussion, Crito ; and after a few more words had passed between us we went away. I hope that you will come to them with me, since they say that they are able to teach any one who will give them money ; no age or want of capacity is an impediment. And I…

Jowett: CRITO 54d-54e — Epílogo
This is the voice which I seem to hear murmuring in my ears, like the sound of the flute in the ears of the mystic ; that voice, I say, is humming in my ears, and prevents me from hearing any other. And I know that anything more which you may say will be in vain.…

Jowett: TIM 58c-61c — Variedades e alterações físicas dos corpos primeiros
In the next place we have to consider that there are divers kinds of fire. There are, for example, first, flame ; and secondly, those emanations of flame which do not burn but only give light to the eyes ; thirdly, the remains of fire, which are seen in red-hot embers after the flame has…

Jowett: EPINOMIS
EPINOMIS Persons of the Dialogue : An ATHENIAN STRANGER ; CLEINIAS, a Cretan ; MEGILLUS, a Lacedaemonian [973a] Cleinias : True to our agreement, good sir, we have come all three — you and I and Megillus here — to consider in what terms we ought to describe that part of understanding which we say…

Jowett: Charmides 166b-172c — A Sabedoria é o conhecimento dos outros conhecimentos e dela mesma
Now, I want to know, what is that which is not wisdom, and of which wisdom is the science ? You are just falling into the old error, Socrates, he said. You come asking in what wisdom or temperance differs from the other sciences, and then you try to discover some respect in which they…

Jowett: Philebus 55c-59d — A Sabedoria
Soc. And now, having subjected pleasure to every sort of test, let us not appear to be too sparing of mind and knowledge : let us ring their metal bravely, and see if there be unsoundness in any part, until we have found out what in them is of the purest nature ; and then…

Jowett: Laws IV 707d-712a — Condições para a fundação de um novo Estado
Ath. And now let me proceed to another question : Who are to be the colonists ? May any one come out of all Crete ; and is the idea that the population in the several states is too numerous for the means of subsistence ? For I suppose that you are not going to…

Jowett: REP VIII 545c-550c — Timocracia
First, then, I said, let us inquire how timocracy (the government of honor) arises out of aristocracy (the government of the best). Clearly, all political changes originate in divisions of the actual governing power ; a government which is united, however small, cannot be moved. Very true, he said. In what way, then, will our…

Jowett: PARM 135c-137c — O treinamento dialético
Yes, said Parmenides ; and I think that this arises, Socrates, out of your attempting to define the beautiful, the just, the good, and the ideas generally, without sufficient previous training. I noticed your deficiency, when I heard you talking here with your friend Aristoteles, the day before yesterday. The impulse that carries you towards…
