228 Str. But if things which partake of motion and aim at some particular mark pass beside the mark and miss it on every occasion when they try to hit it, shall we say that this happens to them through right proportion to one another or, on the contrary, through disproportion? The connection between disproportion and missing the mark is not obvious. The explanation that a missile (e.g. an arrow) which is not evenly balanced will not fly straight, fails to take account of the words πρὸς ἄλληλα. The idea seems rather to be that moving objects of various sizes, shapes, and rates of speed must interfere with each other.

228 Theaet. Evidently through disproportion.

228 Str. But yet we know that every soul, if ignorant of anything, is ignorant against its will.

228 Theaet. Very much so.

228 Str. Now being ignorant is nothing else than the aberration of a soul that aims at truth, when the understanding passes beside the mark.

228 Theaet. Very true.

228 Str. Then we must regard a foolish soul as deformed and ill-proportioned.

228 Theaet. So it seems.

228 Str. Then there are, it appears, these two kinds of evils in the soul, one, which people call wickedness, which is very clearly a disease.

228 Theaet. Yes.

228 Str. And the other they call ignorance, but they are not willing to acknowledge that it is vice, when it arises only in the soul.

228 Theaet. It must certainly be admitted, though I disputed it when you said it just now, that there are two kinds of vice in the soul, and that cowardice, intemperance, and injustice must all alike be considered a disease in us, and the widespread and various condition of ignorance must be regarded as a deformity.

228 Str. In the case of the body there are two arts which have to do with these two evil conditions, are there not?

228 Theaet. What are they?

229 Str. For deformity there is gymnastics, and for disease medicine.

229 Theaet. That is clear.

229 Str. Hence for insolence and injustice and cowardice is not the corrective art the one of all arts most closely related to Justice?
