individual workmen their appropriate task until they have completed the

YOUNG SOCRATES: True.

STRANGER: Are not all such sciences, no less than arithmetic and the

like, subjects of pure knowledge; and is not the difference between the

other of ruling as well?

YOUNG SOCRATES: That is evident.

STRANGER: May we not very properly say, that of all knowledge, there are

two divisions--one which rules, and the other which judges?

YOUNG SOCRATES: I should think so.

STRANGER: And when men have anything to do in common, that they should

be of one mind is surely a desirable thing?

YOUNG SOCRATES: Very true.

STRANGER: Then while we are at unity among ourselves, we need not mind

about the fancies of others?

YOUNG SOCRATES: Certainly not.
