Jowett: gymnastics of the soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroJust the opposite. In childhood and youth their study, and what philosophy they learn, should be suited to their tender years : during this period while they are growing up toward manhood, the chief and special care should be given to their bodies that they may have them to use in the service of philosophy ; as life advances and the intellect begins to mature, let them increase the gymnastics of the soul ; but when the strength of our citizens fails and is past civil and military duties, (…)

Jowett: goddess
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de Castrogod
By the goddess Here, that is good news ! There are plenty of improvers, then. And what do you say of the audience, — do they improve them ? APOLOGY
Someone will say : And are you not ashamed, Socrates, of a course of life which is likely to bring you to an untimely end ? To him I may fairly answer : There you are mistaken : a man who is good for anything ought not to calculate the chance of living or dying ; he ought only to consider whether in doing anything he is doing right or (…) -
Jowett: ascent of the soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroThis entire allegory, I said, you may now append, dear Glaucon, to the previous argument ; the prison-house is the world of sight, the light of the fire is the sun, and you will not misapprehend me if you interpret the journey upward to be the ascent of the soul into the intellectual world according to my poor belief, which, at your desire, I have expressed — whether rightly or wrongly, God knows. But, whether true or false, my opinion is that in the world of knowledge the idea of good (…)

Jowett: Goddess
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de Castrogod
Soc. All of them sprang either from the love of a God for a mortal woman, or of a mortal man for a Goddess ; think of the word in the old Attic, and you will see better that the name heros is only a slight alteration of Eros, from whom the heroes sprang : either this is the meaning, or, if not this, then they must have been skilful as rhetoricians and dialecticians, and able to put the question (erotan), for eirein is equivalent to legein. And therefore, as I was saying, in the Attic (…) -
Jowett: eye of the soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroI am amused, I said, at your fear of the world, which makes you guard against the appearance of insisting upon useless studies ; and I quite admit the difficulty of believing that in every man there is an eye of the soul which, when by other pursuits lost and dimmed, is by these purified and reillumined ; and is more precious far than ten thousand bodily eyes, for by it alone is truth seen. Now there are two classes of persons : one class of those who will agree with you and will take your (…)

Jowett: goddesses
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de Castrogod
Socrates : Well, try another way : who are the goddesses that foster the art ? ALCIBIADES I
Phaedrus, he said, the argument has not been set before us, I think, quite in the right form ; — we should not be called upon to praise Love in such an indiscriminate manner. If there were only one Love, then what you said would be well enough ; but since there are more Loves than one, — should have begun by determining which of them was to be the theme of our praises. I will amend this defect (…) -
Jowett: harmonious soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroAnd the man who has the spirit of harmony will be most in love with the loveliest ; but he will not love him who is of an inharmonious soul ? THE REPUBLIC BOOK III
Beyond question. And the harmonious soul is both temperate and courageous ? THE REPUBLIC BOOK III
For these reasons such a one will be more respectable than most people ; yet the true virtue of a unanimous and harmonious soul will flee far away and never come near him. THE REPUBLIC BOOK VIII -
Jowett: godless
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de Castrogod
Socrates : But if you act unjustly, with your eyes on the godless and dark, the probability is that your acts will resemble these through your ignorance of yourselves. ALCIBIADES I
Soc. There are two patterns eternally set before them ; the one blessed and divine, the other godless and wretched : but they do not see them, or perceive that in their utter folly and infatuation they are growing like the one and unlike the other, by reason of their evil deeds ; and the penalty is, that (…) -
Jowett: soul of a freeman
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroHaving begun to speak of homicide, let us endeavour to lay down laws concerning every different kind of homicides, and, first of all, concerning violent and involuntary homicides. If any one in an athletic contest, and at the public games, involuntarily kills a friend, and he dies either at the time or afterwards of the blows which he has received ; or if the like misfortune happens to any one in war, or military exercises, or mimic contests. of which the magistrates enjoin the practice, (…)

Jowett: godlessness
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de Castrogod
Str. In like manner, the royal science appears to me to be the mistress of all lawful educators and instructors, and having this queenly power, will not permit them to train men in what will produce characters unsuited to the political constitution which she desires to create, but only in what will produce such as are suitable. Those which have no share of manliness and temperance, or any other virtuous inclination, and, from the necessity of an evil nature, are violently carried away (…) -
Jowett: image of the soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroLet us make an image of the soul, that he may have his own words presented before his eyes. THE REPUBLIC BOOK IX
An ideal image of the soul, like the composite creations of ancient mythology, such as the Chimera, or Scylla, or Cerberus, and there are many others in which two or more different natures are said to grow into one. THE REPUBLIC BOOK IX -
Jowett: godlike
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de Castrogod
But of beauty, I repeat again that we saw her there shining in company with the celestial forms ; and coming to earth we find her here too, shining in clearness through the clearest aperture of sense. For sight is the most piercing of our bodily senses ; though not by that is wisdom seen ; her loveliness would have been transporting if there had been a visible image of her, and the other ideas, if they had visible counterparts, would be equally lovely. But this is the privilege of (…) -
Jowett: rational principle in the soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroAnd this, surely, must be the work of the calculating and rational principle in the soul ? THE REPUBLIC BOOK X
Then the imitative poet who aims at being popular is not by nature made, nor is his art intended, to please or to affect the rational principle in the soul ; but he will prefer the passionate and fitful temper, which is easily imitated ? THE REPUBLIC BOOK X -
Jowett: gods
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de Castrogod
Socrates : The greatest of questions, Alcibiades, [138b] as I believe. For tell me, in Heaven’s name, do you not think that the gods sometimes grant in part, but in part refuse, what we ask of them in our private and public prayers, and gratify some people, but not others ? ALCIBIADES II
Socrates : Then you would agree that one should take great precautions against falling unawares into the error of praying for great evils in the belief that they are good, while the gods happen to be (…) -
Jowett: our soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de Castro[150e] so you too must first have the mist removed which now enwraps your soul, and then you will be ready to receive the means whereby you will discern both evil and good. For at present I do not think you could do so. ALCIBIADES II
[364a] Socrates : You are in a state of blessedness, Hippias, if at every Olympiad you come to the sanctuary with fair hopes concerning your soul and its wisdom ; and I should be surprised if any of the physical athletes when he goes to that same place to take (…) -

Jowett: my soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroTheages : Yes, on my soul, I do — that, if it be your pleasure, I too shall be able to become such as those others are. THEAGES
Socrates : "Cleitomachus," he said, "I tell you I am going to my death now, because I would not take Socrates’ advice." Now, why on earth did Timarchus say that ? I will tell you. When Timarchus and Philemon, [129b] son of Philemonides, got up from the wine-party to kill Nicias, son of Heroscamandrus, those two alone had knowledge of the plot ; and Timarchus, as (…) -
Jowett: ether
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroWhat hopes I had formed, and how grievously was I disappointed ! As I proceeded, I found my philosopher altogether forsaking mind or any other principle of order, but having recourse to air, and ether, and water, and other eccentricities. I might compare him to a person who began by maintaining generally that mind is the cause of the actions of Socrates, but who, when he endeavored to explain the causes of my several actions in detail, went on to show that I sit here because my body is made (…)

Jowett: soul (Philebus, Timaeus, Laws)
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroTim. Let me tell you then why the creator made this world of generation. He was good, and the good can never have any jealousy of anything. And being free from jealousy, he desired that all things should be as like himself as they could be. This is in the truest sense the origin of creation and of the world, as we shall do well in believing on the testimony of wise men : God desired that all things should be good and nothing bad, so far as this was attainable. Wherefore also finding the (…)
