129
Soc. And we admit that the user and what he uses are different things?
129
Alc. Yes.
129
Soc. Then the shoemaker and the harper are different from the hands and eyes that they use for their work?
129
Alc. Apparently.
129
Soc. And man uses his whole body too?
129
Alc. To be sure.
129
Soc. And we said that the user and what he uses are different?
129
Alc. Yes.
129
Soc. So man is different from his own body?
129
Alc. It seems so.
129
Soc. Then whatever is man?
129
Alc. I cannot say.
129
Soc. Oh, but you can—that he is the user of the body.
129
Alc. Yes.
130
Soc. And the user of it must be the soul?
130
Alc. It must.
130
Soc. And ruler?
130
Alc. Yes.
130
Soc. Now, here is a remark from which no one, I think, can dissent.
130
Alc. What is it?
130
Soc. That man must be one of three things.
130
Alc. What things?
130
Soc. Soul, body, or both together as one whole.
130
Alc. Very well.
130
Soc. But yet we have admitted that what actually rules the body is man?
130
Alc. We have.
130
Soc. And does the body rule itself?
130
Alc. By no means.
130
Soc. Because we have said that it is ruled.
130
Alc. Yes.
