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 and ignorance. In whatever state a man experiences either of them, that state may be called disease ; and excessive pains and pleasures are justly to be regarded as the greatest diseases to which the soul is liable. For a man who is in great (…)

Jowett: disorders of the soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de Castro -
Jowett: essence
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSocrates : That suffices, Hippias ; for even this is welcome, since it appears that some things are so and some are not so. For I said, if you remember the beginning of this discussion, [302c] that pleasure through sight and through hearing were beautiful, not by that by which each of them was so affected as to be beautiful, but not both, nor both but not each, but by that by which both and each were so affected, because you conceded that both and each were beautiful. For this reason I (…)

Jowett: release of the soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroAnd what is purification but the separation of the soul from the body, as I was saying before ; the habit of the soul gathering and collecting herself into herself, out of all the courses of the body ; the dwelling in her own place alone, as in another life, so also in this, as far as she can ; the release of the soul from the chains of the body ? PHAEDO
And what is that which is termed death, but this very separation and release of the soul from the body ? PHAEDO
And the true (…) -
Jowett: concretions
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSoc. If I am not mistaken, I have often repeated that pains and aches and suffering and uneasiness of all sorts arise out of a corruption of nature caused by concretions, and dissolutions, and repletions, and evacuations, and also by growth and decay ? PHILEBUS

Jowett: ideas themselves
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroI understand, said Socrates, and quite accept your account. But tell me, Zeno, do you not further think that there is an idea of likeness in itself, and another idea of unlikeness, which is the opposite of likeness, and that in these two, you and I and all other things to which we apply the term many, participate — things which participate in likeness become in that degree and manner like ; and so far as they participate in unlikeness become in that degree unlike, or both like and unlike in (…)

Jowett: wiser soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSocrates : And what if it be knowledge ? Is not the wiser soul more just, and the more ignorant more unjust ? 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 -
Jowett: temperate soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSoc. Listen to me, then, while I recapitulate the argument : — Is the pleasant the same as the good ? Not the same. Callicles and I are agreed about that. And is the pleasant to be pursued for the sake of the good ? or the good for the sake of the pleasant ? The pleasant is to be pursued for the sake of the good. And that is pleasant at the presence of which we are pleased, and that is good at the presence of which we are good ? To be sure. And we — good, and all good things whatever are (…)

Jowett: goods of the soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSoc. Next, let us consider the goods of the soul : they are temperance, justice, courage, quickness of apprehension, memory, magnanimity, and the like ? MENO
Str. In the second place, he was a merchant in the goods of the soul. SOPHIST
Ath. We maintain, then, that a State which would be safe and happy, as far as the nature of man allows, must and ought to distribute honour and dishonour in the right way. And the right way is to place the goods of the soul first and highest in the scale, (…) -
Jowett: quality of the soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSoc. If then virtue is a quality of the soul, and is admitted to be profitable, it must be wisdom or prudence, since none of the things of the soul are either profitable or hurtful in themselves, but they are all made profitable or hurtful by the addition of wisdom or of folly ; and therefore and therefore if virtue is profitable, virtue must be a sort of wisdom or prudence ? MENO

Jowett: every soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de Castroherein is an excellent proof of her tenderness — that she walks not upon the hard but upon the soft. Let us adduce a similar proof of the tenderness of Love ; for he walks not upon the earth, nor yet upon skulls of men, which are not so very soft, but in the hearts and souls of both god, and men, which are of all things the softest : in them he walks and dwells and makes his home. Not in every soul without exception, for Where there is hardness he departs, where there is softness there he (…)

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: abstraction
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroFor those who suppose all things to be in motion conceive the greater part of nature to be a mere receptacle ; and they say that there is a penetrating power which passes through all this, and is the instrument of creation in all, and is the subtlest and swiftest element ; for if it were not the subtlest, and a power which none can keep out, and also the swiftest, passing by other things as if they were standing still, it could not penetrate through the moving universe. And this element, (…)

Jowett: Science of Ideas
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroSome God, as it seems plain to me, is preparing for you good fortune in a gracious and bountiful way, if only you accept it with grace. For you dwell near together as neighbors in close association [6.322d] so that you can help one another in the things of greatest importance. For Hermeias will find in his multitude of horses or of other military equipment, or even in the gaining of gold itself, no greater source of power for all purposes than in the gaining of steadfast friends possessed of (…)

Jowett: part of the soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de Castro[133c] Socrates : And can we find any part of the soul that we can call more divine than this, which is the seat of knowledge and thought ? ALCIBIADES I
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 (…) -
Jowett: habit of the soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroAnd what is purification but the separation of the soul from the body, as I was saying before ; the habit of the soul gathering and collecting herself into herself, out of all the courses of the body ; the dwelling in her own place alone, as in another life, so also in this, as far as she can ; the release of the soul from the chains of the body ? PHAEDO
Ath. The affection both of the Bacchantes and of the children is an emotion of fear, which springs out of an evil habit of the soul. And (…) -
Jowett: concupiscent soul
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroAnd these two, thus nurtured and educated, and having learned truly to know their own functions, will rule over the concupiscent, which in each of us is the largest part of the soul and by nature most insatiable of gain ; over this they will keep guard, lest, waxing great and strong with the fulness of bodily pleasures, as they are termed, the concupiscent soul, no longer confined to her own sphere, should attempt to enslave and rule those who are not her natural-born subjects, and overturn (…)

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: 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: absolute greatness
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroOr did you ever reach them with any other bodily sense ? (and I speak not of these alone, but of absolute greatness, and health, and strength, and of the essence or true nature of everything). Has the reality of them ever been perceived by you through the bodily organs ? or rather, is not the nearest approach to the knowledge of their several natures made by him who so orders his intellectual vision as to have the most exact conception of the essence of that which he considers ? PHAEDO
The (…) -
Jowett: absolute justice
1º de fevereiro, por Cardoso de CastroWell, but there is another thing, Simmias : Is there or is there not an absolute justice ? PHAEDO
True, he replied ; but what of that ? I was only going to ask whether, if we have discovered them, we are to require that the just man should in nothing fail of absolute justice ; or may we be satisfied with an approximation, and the attainment in him of a higher degree of justice than is to be found in other men ? THE REPUBLIC BOOK V
We were inquiring into the nature of absolute justice and (…)
