THEAETETUS: Certainly. SOCRATES: Were we not saying that there are agents many and infinite, and patients many and infinite? THEAETETUS: Yes. SOCRATES: And also that different combinations will produce results which are not the same, but different? THEAETETUS: Certainly. SOCRATES: Let us take you and me, or anything as an example:--There is Socrates in health, and Socrates sick--Are they like or unlike? THEAETETUS: You mean to compare Socrates in health as a whole, and Socrates in sickness as a whole? SOCRATES: Exactly; that is my meaning. THEAETETUS: I answer, they are unlike. SOCRATES: And if unlike, they are other? THEAETETUS: Certainly. SOCRATES: And would you not say the same of Socrates sleeping and waking, or in any of the states which we were mentioning? |
