Θεαίτητος

Θεαίτητος Plato
145 SOC. Then, my dear Theaetetus, this is just the time for you to exhibit your qualities and for me to examine them; for I assure you that Theodorus, though he has praised many foreigners and citizens to me, never praised anyone as he praised you just now.
145 THEAET. A good idea, Socrates; but make sure that he was not speaking in jest.
145 SOC. That is not Theodorus’s way. But do not seek to draw back from your agreement on the pretext that he is jesting, or he will be forced to testify under oath; for certainly no one will accuse him of perjury. Come, be courageous and hold to the agreement.
145 THEAET. I suppose I must, if you say so.
145 SOC. Now tell me; I suppose you learn some geometry from Theodorus?
145 THEAET. Yes.
145 SOC. And astronomy and harmony and arithmetic?
145 THEAET. I try hard to do so.
145 SOC. And so do I, my boy, from him and from any others who I think know anything about these things. But nevertheless, although in other respects I get on fairly well in them, yet I am in doubt about one little matter, which should be investigated with your help and that of these others. Tell me, is not learning growing wiser about that which one learns?
145 THEAET. Of course.
145 SOC. And the wise, I suppose, are wise by wisdom.
145 THEAET. Yes.
145 SOC. And does this differ at all from knowledge?
145 THEAET. Does what differ?
145 SOC. Wisdom. Or are not people wise in that of which they have knowledge?
145 THEAET. Of course.
145 SOC. Then knowledge and wisdom are the same thing?
145 THEAET. Yes.
