İngilizce Yunanca

219 Str. Agriculture and all kinds of care of any living beings, and that which has to do with things which are put together or molded (utensils we call them), and the art of imitation—all these might properly be called by one name.

219 Theaet. How so, and what is the name?

219 Str. When anyone brings into being something which did not previously exist, we say that he who brings it into being produces it and that which is brought into being is produced.

219 Theaet. Certainly.

219 Str. Now all the arts which we have just mentioned direct their energy to production.

219 Theaet. Yes, they do.

219 Str. Let us, then, call these collectively the productive art.

219 Theaet. Agreed.

219 Str. And after this comes the whole class of learning and that of acquiring knowledge, and money making, and fighting, and hunting. None of these is creative, but they are all engaged in coercing, by deeds or words, things which already exist and have been produced, or in preventing others from coercing them; therefore all these divisions together might very properly be called acquisitive art.

219 Theaet. Yes, that would be proper.

219 Str. Then since acquisitive and productive art comprise all the arts, in which, Theaetetus, shall we place the art of angling?

219 Theaet. In acquisitive art, clearly.

219 Str. And are there not two classes of acquisitive art—one the class of exchange between voluntary agents by means of gifts and wages and purchases, and the other, which comprises all the rest of acquisitive art, and, since it coerces either by word or deed, might be called coercive?

219 Theaet. It appears so, at any rate, from what you have said.

219 Str. Well then, shall we not divide coercive art into two parts?

219 Theaet. In what way?

219 Str. By calling all the open part of it fighting and all the secret part hunting.

219 Theaet. Yes.

219 Str. But it would be unreasonable not to divide hunting into two parts.

219 Theaet. Say how it can be done.

219 Str. By dividing it into the hunting of the lifeless and of the living.

219 Theaet. Certainly, if both exist.
