intellect; objects of opinion and intellect classified, Rep. 7. 534 (cp. 5. 476); relation of the intellect and the good, ib. 6. 508; intellect and true opinion, Tim. 51. Cp. Mind.
[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 part in the contests, has such fearless confidence (…)

Jowett: intellect

Jowett: without soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSoc. And wisdom and mind cannot exist without soul ? PHILEBUS
Ath. Just the opposite, as I said, of the opinion which once prevailed among men, that the sun and stars are without soul. Even in those days men wondered about them, and that which is now ascertained was then conjectured by some who had a more exact knowledge of them — that if they had been things without soul, and had no mind, they could never have moved with numerical exactness so wonderful ; and even at that time some (…) -
Jowett: intellectual
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de Castrointellect
Nic. Because you seem not to be aware that any one who has an intellectual affinity to Socrates and enters into conversation with him is liable to be drawn into an argument ; and whatever subject he may start, he will be continually carried round and round by him, until at last he finds that he has to give an account both of his present and past life ; and when he is once entangled, Socrates will not let him go until he has completely and thoroughly sifted him. Now I am used to (…) -
Jowett: Achilles
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSocrates : Indeed, Eudicus, there are some points in what Hippias was just now saying of Homer, [363b] about which I should like to question him. For I used to hear your father Apemantus say that Homer’s Iliad was a finer poem than the Odyssey, and just as much finer as Achilles was finer than Odysseus for he said that one of these poems was made with Odysseus ; the other with Achilles as its subject. So that is a point about which, if it is agreeable to Hippias, I should like to ask — what (…)

Jowett: intelligence
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de Castrointellect
I mean, what is done best by rule of his particular art — while he is entirely off the track of what is best for the state and for himself, because, I conceive, he has put his trust in opinion apart from intelligence. In these circumstances, [146b] should we not be right in saying that such a state is one great mass of turmoil and lawlessness ? ALCIBIADES II
Socrates : So now we repeat our statement that the many have missed getting the best because in most cases, I conceive, (…) -
Jowett: act
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSoc. But they join issue about the particulars — gods and men alike ; and, if they dispute at all, they dispute about some act which is called in question, and which by some is affirmed to be just, by others to be unjust. Is not that true ? EUTHYPHRO
Soc. Well then, my dear friend Euthyphro, do tell me, for my better instruction and information, what proof have you that in the opinion of all the gods a servant who is guilty of murder, and is put in chains by the master of the dead man, and (…) -
Jowett: intelligible
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSoc. And a thing is not seen because it is visible, but conversely, visible because it is seen ; nor is a thing led because it is in the state of being led, or carried because it is in the state of being carried, but the converse of this. And now I think, Euthyphro, that my meaning will be intelligible ; and my meaning is, that any state of action or passion implies previous action or passion. It does not become because it is becoming, but it is in a state of becoming because it becomes ; (…)

Jowett: acts
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSo it was nothing to their purpose to sacrifice and pay tribute of gifts in vain, when they were hated by the gods. For it is not, I imagine, the way of the gods to be seduced with gifts, like a base insurer. And indeed it is but silly talk of ours, if we claim to surpass the Spartans on this score. For it would be a strange thing if the gods had regard to our gifts and sacrifices instead of our souls, and the piety and [150a] justice that may be found in any of us. Far rather at these, I (…)

Jowett: intemperance
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de Castrotemperance
intemperance, see drunkenness, intoxication :—intemperance of love, Tim. 86. Soc. Then injustice and intemperance, and in general the depravity of the soul, are the greatest of evils ! GORGIAS
Soc. Then the art of money-making frees a man from poverty ; medicine from disease ; and justice from intemperance and injustice ? GORGIAS
Cal. Quite so, Socrates ; and they are really fools, for how can a man be happy who is the servant of anything ? On the contrary, I plainly (…) -
Jowett: bad acts
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSocrates : In running, then, he who does bad acts involuntarily is worse than he who does them voluntarily ? LESSER HIPPIAS
Socrates : And how is it in every other bodily exercise ? Is not he who is the better man in respect to his body able to perform both kinds of acts, the strong and the weak, the disgraceful and the fine, [374b] so that whenever he performs bad acts of a bodily kind, he who is the better man in respect to his body does them voluntarily, but he who is worse does them (…) -
Jowett: intemperate
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de Castrointemperance
Intemperate life, the, not to be preferred to the temperate, Gorg. 493, 494; Laws 5. 733 E foil.; no man voluntarily intemperate, Laws 5. 734 B.
I answer, Socrates, he said, that all these qualities are parts of virtue, and that four out of the five are to some extent similar, and that the fifth of them, which is courage, is very different from the other four, as I prove in this way : You may observe that many men are utterly unrighteous, unholy, intemperate, ignorant, who (…) -
Jowett: disgraceful acts
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSocrates : In wrestling also, then, he who performs bad and disgraceful acts voluntarily is a better wrestler than he who performs them involuntarily. LESSER HIPPIAS
Socrates : This more powerful and wiser soul, then, was found to be better and to have more power to do both good and disgraceful acts in every kind of action was it not ? LESSER HIPPIAS
Socrates : Whenever, then, it does disgraceful acts, it does them voluntarily, by reason of power and art ; and these, either one or both (…) -
Jowett: Drunkenness

Drunkenness, Phaedr. 238 A; in heaven, Rep. 2. 363 D ; forbidden in the guardians, ib. 3. 398 E, 403 E; not allowed at Lace-daemon, Laws 1, 637 B ; injury caused by, ib. 640 E; at marriages unlawful, ib. 6. 775 ’—the drunken man apt to be tyrannical, Rep. 8. 573 C ; is in a second childhood, Laws 1. 645 E, 646 A ; fancies himself able to rule the whole world, ib. 2. 671 B. The betrothal by a father shall be valid in the first degree, that by a grandfather in the second (…) -
Jowett: unjust acts
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSocrates : Then he who voluntarily errs and does disgraceful and unjust acts, Hippias, if there be such a man, would be no other than the good man. LESSER HIPPIAS
Cle. I agree with you, Stranger ; for one of two things is certain : either we must not say that all unjust acts are involuntary, or we must show the meaning and truth of this statement. LAWS BOOK IX
Ath. What else can he say who declares that the Gods are always lenient to the doers of unjust acts, if they divide the spoil (…) -
Jowett: drunkenness
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroDrunkenness
I mean to say that men who have followed after gluttony, and wantonness, and drunkenness, and have had no thought of avoiding them, would pass into asses and animals of that sort. What do you think ? PHAEDO
Ath. And that sort of meeting, if attended with drunkenness, is apt to be unquiet. LAWS BOOK I
Still grander are the gifts of heaven which Musaeus and his son vouchsafe to the just ; they take them down into the world below, where they have the saints lying on couches at (…) -
Jowett: acts of violence
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroStr. Then we separated off the currier’s art, which prepared coverings in entire pieces, and the art of sheltering, and subtracted the various arts of making water-tight which are employed in building, and in general in carpentering, and in other crafts, and all such arts as furnish impediments to thieving and acts of violence, and are concerned with making the lids of boxes and the fixing of doors, being divisions of the art of joining ; and we also cut off the manufacture of arms, which is (…)

Jowett: drunken
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroDrunkenness
Surely, I said, knowledge is the food of the soul ; and we must take care, my friend, that the Sophist does not deceive us when he praises what he sells, like the dealers wholesale or retail who sell the food of the body ; for they praise indiscriminately all their goods, without knowing what are really beneficial or hurtful : neither do their customers know, with the exception of any trainer or physician who may happen to buy of them. In like manner those who carry about the (…) -
Jowett: political acts
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de Castro[3.315c] But as for me, I would not call upon a man, and much less a god, and bid him enjoy himself — a god, because I would be imposing a task contrary to his nature (since the Deity has his abode far beyond pleasure or pain), — nor yet a man, because pleasure and pain generate mischief for the most part, since they breed in the soul mental sloth and forgetfulness and witlessness and insolence. Let such, then, be my declaration regarding the mode of address ; and you, when you read it, (…)

Intoxication, not allowed in the state, Rep. 3. 398 E, 403 ; forbidden at Lacedaemon, Laws 1. 637 ; common at Athens during the Dionysia, ib. C ; permitted among the Scythians, etc., ibid.; nature of, discussed, ibid. foil. ; use of, ib. 645, 646; only to be allowed to the old, ib. 2. 666 B. See Drinking, Festivities.
[319c] Now here in Homer we have a eulogy of Minos, briefly expressed, such as the poet never composed for a single one of the heroes. For that (…) -
Jowett: act rightly
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSocrates : What ? For the Lacedaemonians is it the hereditary usage not to act rightly, [284c] but to commit errors ? GREATER HIPPIAS
Socrates : Would they, then, not act rightly in educating the young men better, but not in educating them worse ? GREATER HIPPIAS
And when men act rightly and advantageously they seem to you to be temperate ? PROTAGORAS
And they who do not act rightly act foolishly, and in acting thus are not temperate ? PROTAGORAS
Monster ! I said ; you have been (…)
