57 Soc. And after having given an art a single name in what has preceded, thereby making us think that it was a single art, does not the discussion now assume that the same art is two and ask whether the art of the philosophers or that of the non-philosophers possesses the higher degree of clearness and purity?

57 Pro. Yes, I think that is just the question it asks.

57 Soc. Then what reply shall we make, Protarchus?

57 Pro. Socrates, we have found a marvelously great difference in the clearness of different kinds of knowledge.

57 Soc. That will make the reply easier, will it not?

57 Pro. Yes, to be sure; and let our reply be this, that the arithmetical and metrical arts far surpass the others and that of these the arts which are stirred by the impulse of the true philosophers are immeasurably superior in accuracy and truth about measures and numbers.

57 Soc. We accept that as our judgement, and relying upon you we make this confident reply to those who are clever in straining arguments—

57 Pro. What reply?

57 Soc. That there are two arts of arithmetic and two of measuring, and many other arts which, like these, are twofold in this way, but possess a single name in common.

57 Pro. Let us give this answer, Socrates, to those who you say are clever; I hope we shall have luck with it.

57 Soc. These, then, we say, are the most exact arts or sciences?

57 Pro. Certainly.

57 Soc. But the art of dialectic would spurn us, Protarchus, if we should judge that any other art is preferable to her.

57 Pro. But what is the art to which this name belongs?

58 Soc. Clearly anybody can recognize the art I mean; for I am confident that all men who have any intellect whatsoever believe that the knowledge which has to do with being, reality, and eternal immutability is the truest kind of knowledge. What do you think, Protarchus?
