İngilizce Yunanca

305 Str. Has it any power beyond that of judging men’s contracts with one another, pronouncing them right or wrong by the standard of the existing laws which it has received from the king and law-giver; showing its own peculiar virtue in that it is not so perverted by any bribes, or fears, or pity, or enmity, or friendship, as ever to consent to decide the lawsuits of men with each other contrary to the enactments of the lawgiver?

305 Y. Soc. No; the business of this power is about as you have described it.

305 Str. Then we find that the strength of judges is not kingly, but is guardian of laws and a servant of the kingly power.

305 Y. Soc. So it appears.

305 Str. The consideration of all these arts which have been mentioned leads to the conclusion that none of them is the art of the statesman. For the art that is truly kingly ought not to act itself, but should rule over the arts that have the power of action; it should decide upon the right or wrong time for the initiation of the most important measures in the state, and the other arts should perform its behests.

305 Y. Soc. Right.

305 Str. Therefore those arts which we have just described, as they control neither one another nor themselves, but have each its own peculiar sphere of action, are quite properly called by special names corresponding to those special actions.

305 Y. Soc. That appears, at least, to be the case.

305 Str. But the art which holds sway over them all and watches over the laws and all things in the state, weaving them all most perfectly together, we may, I think, by giving to its function a designation which indicates its power over the community, with full propriety call statecraft.

305 Y. Soc. Most assuredly.

305 Str. Shall we then proceed to discuss it after the model supplied by weaving, See 287-290, 303-305. now that all the classes in the state have been made plain to us?

305 Y. Soc. By all means.

306 Str. Then the kingly process of weaving must be described, its nature, the manner in which it combines the threads, and the kind of web it produces.
