STRANGER: Our first duty, as we were saying, was to remodel the name,

so as to have the notion of care rather than of feeding, and then to

YOUNG SOCRATES: How can they be made?

STRANGER: First, by separating the divine shepherd from the human

YOUNG SOCRATES: True.

STRANGER: And the art of management which is assigned to man would again

have to be subdivided.

YOUNG SOCRATES: On what principle?

STRANGER: On the principle of voluntary and compulsory.

YOUNG SOCRATES: Why?

STRANGER: Because, if I am not mistaken, there has been an error here;

for our simplicity led us to rank king and tyrant together, whereas they

are utterly distinct, like their modes of government.

YOUNG SOCRATES: True.
