229 Theaet. Probably it is, at least according to the judgement of mankind.

229 Str. And for all sorts of ignorance is there any art it would be more correct to suggest than that of instruction?

229 Theaet. No, none.

229 Str. Come now, think. Shall we say that there is only one kind of instruction, or that there are more and that two are the most important?

229 Theaet. I am thinking.

229 Str. I think we can find out most quickly in this way.

229 Theaet. In what way?

229 Str. By seeing whether ignorance admits of being cut in two in the middle; for if ignorance turns out to be twofold, it is clear that instruction must also consist of two parts, one for each part of ignorance.

229 Theaet. Well, can you see what you are now looking for?

229 Str. I at any rate think I do see one large and grievous kind of ignorance, separate from the rest, and as weighty as all the other parts put together.

229 Theaet. What is it?

229 Str. Thinking that one knows a thing when one does not know it. Through this, I believe, all the mistakes of the mind are caused in all of us.

229 Theaet. True.

229 Str. And furthermore to this kind of ignorance alone the name of stupidity is given.

229 Theaet. Certainly.

229 Str. Now what name is to be given to that part of instruction which gets rid of this?

229 Theaet. I think, Stranger, that the other part is called instruction in handicraft, and that this part is here at Athens through our influence called education.

229 Str. And so it is, Theaetetus, among nearly all the Hellenes. But we must examine further and see whether it is one and indivisible or still admits of division important enough to have a name.

229 Theaet. Yes, we must see about that.

229 Str. I think there is still a way in which this also may be divided.

229 Theaet. On what principle?

229 Str. Of instruction in arguments one method seems to be rougher, and the other section smoother.

229 Theaet. What shall we call each of these?
