Who knows if life be not death and death life ; and that we are very likely dead ; I have heard a philosopher say that at this moment we are actually dead, and that the body (soma) is our tomb (sema), and that the part of the soul which is the seat of the desires is liable to be tossed about by words and blown up and down ; and some ingenious person, probably a Sicilian or an Italian, playing with the word, invented a tale in which he called the soul — because of its believing and (...)

Jowett: elements of the soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroAfter this their happiness depends upon their self-control ; if the better elements of the mind which lead to order and philosophy prevail, then they pass their life here in happiness and harmony — masters of themselves and orderly — enslaving the vicious and emancipating the virtuous elements of the soul ; and when the end comes, they are light and winged for flight, having conquered in one of the three heavenly or truly Olympian victories ; nor can human discipline or divine inspiration (...)

Jowett: delusion
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroPro. Yes, that is by far the commonest delusion. PHILEBUS
Ath. What, then, leads us astray ? Are beautiful things not the same to us all, or are they the same in themselves, but not in our opinion of them ? For no one will admit that forms of vice in the dance are more beautiful than forms of virtue, or that he himself delights in the forms of vice, and others in a muse of another character. And yet most persons say, that the excellence of music is to give pleasure to our souls. But this (...) -
Jowett: congenial soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSoc. True, Phaedrus. But nobler far is the serious pursuit of the dialectician, who, finding a congenial soul, by the help of science sows and plants therein words which are able to help themselves and him who planted them, and are not unfruitful, but have in them a seed which others brought up in different soils render immortal, making the possessors of it happy to the utmost extent of human happiness. PHAEDRUS

Jowett: Creator
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de Castrodemiourgos
Creator of the world, Protag. 320 foil.; Tim. 28; Soph. 265; Statesm. 269 foil.; Laws 10. 886 foil. Cp. God.
Str. Why, because only the most divine things of all remain ever unchanged and the same, and body is not included in this class. Heaven and the universe, as we have termed them, although they have been endowed by the Creator with many glories, partake of a bodily nature, and therefore cannot be entirely free from perturbation. But their motion is, as far as possible, (...) -
Jowett: little soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSoc. But when the heart of any one is shaggy — a quality which the all-wise poet commends, or muddy and of impure wax, or very soft, or very hard, then there is a corresponding defect in the mind — the soft are good at learning, but apt to forget ; and the hard are the reverse ; the shaggy and rugged and gritty, or those who have an admixture of earth or dung in their composition, have the impressions indistinct, as also the hard, for there is no depth in them ; and the soft too are (...)

Jowett: creator
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroCreator
Of Zeus, the author and creator of all these things, EUTHYPHRO
Soc. I mean to say, that the producers of those things which the author of the song praises, that is to say, the physician, the trainer, the money-maker, will at once come to you, and first the physician will say : "O Socrates, Gorgias is deceiving you, for my art is concerned with the greatest good of men and not his." And when I ask, Who are you ? he will reply, "I am a physician." What do you mean ? I shall say. (...) -
Jowett: merchandise of the soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroStr. Of this merchandise of the soul, may not one part be fairly termed the art of display ? And there is another part which is certainly not less ridiculous, but being a trade in learning must be called by some name germane to the matter ? SOPHIST
Str. No other ; and so this trader in virtue again turns out to be our friend the Sophist, whose art may now be traced from the art of acquisition through exchange, trade, merchandise, to a merchandise of the soul which is concerned with (...) -
Jowett: creation

Creation, myth of, Protag. 320 D foil.; Statesm. 269 foil. :—reason of, Tim. 29 ; species of, ib. 39, 40; divine and human creation, Soph. 265, 266 (cp. Rep. 10. 596 foil.); physical theories of creation, Laws 10. 889; origin of creation, ib. 893, 894. Soc. Phronesis (wisdom), which may signify Phoras kai rhou noesis (perception of motion and flux), or perhaps Phoras onesis (the blessing of motion), but is at any rate connected with Pheresthai (motion) ; gnome (judgment), again, (...) -
Jowett: purification of the soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroStr. There can be no doubt that they are thought ridiculous, Theaetetus ; but then the dialectical art never considers whether the benefit to be derived from the purge is greater or less than that to be derived from the sponge, and has not more interest in the one than in the other ; her endeavour is to know what is and is not kindred in all arts, with a view to the acquisition of intelligence ; and having this in view, she honours them all alike, and when she makes comparisons, she counts (...)

Jowett: wakefulness
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroAth. What will be the manner of life among men who may be supposed to have their food and clothing provided for them in moderation, and who have entrusted the practice of the arts to others, and whose husbandry, committed to slaves paying a part of the produce, brings them a return sufficient for men living temperately ; who, moreover, have common tables in which the men are placed apart, and near them are the common tables of their families, of their daughters and mothers, which day by (...)

Jowett: disease of the soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroStr. Then we shall be right in calling vice a discord and disease of the soul ? SOPHIST
Str. Then there are these two kinds of evil in the soul — the one which is generally called vice, and is obviously a disease of the soul... SOPHIST
Such is the manner in which diseases of the body arise ; the disorders of the soul, which depend upon the body, originate as follows. We must acknowledge disease of the mind to be a want of intelligence ; and of this there are two kinds ; to wit, madness (...) -
Jowett: Wisdom
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de Castrosophia phronesis
Wisdom (sophia, phronesis), = good fortune, Euthyd. 282; = true thought, Theaet. 170;—the true wisdom, to know God, ib. 176; to have harmony in the soul, Laws 3. 689; — wisdom, the highest of human things, Pro tag. 352 D; the most valuable of treasures, Euthyd. 282; Eryx. 394 A; can it be taught ? Euthyd. 282 (cp. Virtue); loveliness of, Phaedr. 250; unseen, ibid.; to be ascribed to God only, ib. 278 (cp. ApoL 23 A); the one true coin for which all things ought to (...) -
Jowett: in the soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroAnd whom should we be justified in asking as to the moderate degree and kind, in regard to the sowing and planting of studies in the soul ? LOVERS
His approving answers reassured me, and I began by degrees to regain confidence, and the vital heat returned. Such, Charmides, I said, is the nature of the charm, which I learned when serving with the army from one of the physicians of the Thracian king Zamolxis, who are to be so skilful that they can even give immortality. This Thracian told (...) -
Jowett: wisdom
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroWisdom
Socrates : Do you regard madness as the opposite of wisdom ? ALCIBIADES II
Socrates : Well then, do you hold the same view about wisdom and unwisdom ? ALCIBIADES II
Socrates : And you remember that you admitted that madness is the opposite of wisdom ? ALCIBIADES II
Socrates : So you see it is not safe either to accept casually what one is given, or to pray for one’s own advancement, if one is going to be injured in consequence, or deprived of one’s life altogether. Yet we (...) -
Jowett: to the soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de Castro[321d] Socrates : And if he then proceeded to ask us — And what might that be which the good lawgiver and apportioner distributes to the soul to make it better ? — what would be our answer if we would avoid being ashamed of ourselves and our years ? MINOS
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 (...) -

Jowett: evil in the soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSoc. And now injustice and all evil in the soul has been admitted by to be most disgraceful ? GORGIAS
Str. Then there are these two kinds of evil in the soul — the one which is generally called vice, and is obviously a disease of the soul... SOPHIST -
Jowett: wise
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de Castro[138d] Socrates : And there are some men whom you regard as unwise, and others as wise ? ALCIBIADES II
Socrates : Come then, let us consider who these people are. We have admitted that some are unwise, some wise, and others mad. ALCIBIADES II
Socrates : Tell me, do you think it is only possible to be either wise or unwise, or is there some third condition between these, which makes [139b] a man neither wise nor unwise ? ALCIBIADES II
Socrates : And further, that there is no third (...) -
Jowett: vice in the soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroBut what will those who maintain the soul to be a harmony say of this presence of virtue and vice in the soul ? — Will they say that there is another harmony, and another discord, and that the virtuous soul is harmonized, and herself being a harmony has another harmony within her, and that the vicious soul is inharmonical and has no harmony within her ? PHAEDO
Str. Do we admit that virtue is distinct from vice in the soul ? SOPHIST
Theaet. I certainly admit what I at first disputed — (...)
