Socrates

Soc. It has been said many times that pains and woes and aches and everything that is called by names of that sort are caused when nature in any instance is corrupted through combinations and dissolutions, fillings and emptyings, increases and diminutions.

Protarchus

Pro. Yes, that has been said many times.

Socrates

Soc. And we agreed that when things are restored to their natural condition, that restoration is pleasure. 15

Protarchus

Pro. Right.

Socrates

Soc. But when neither of these changes takes place in the body, what then?

Protarchus

Pro. When could that be the case, Socrates?

Socrates

Soc. That question of yours is not to the point, Protarchus.

Protarchus

Pro. Why not? 20

Socrates

Soc. Because you do not prevent my asking my own question again.

Protarchus

Pro. What question?

Socrates

Soc. Why, Protarchus, I may say, granting that such a condition does not arise, what would be the necessary result if it did?

Protarchus

Pro. You mean if the body is not changed in either direction?

Socrates

Soc. Yes. 25

Protarchus

Pro. It is clear, Socrates, that in that case there would never be either pleasure or pain.

Socrates

Soc. Excellent. But you believe, I fancy, that some such change must always be taking place in us, as the philosophers Heracleitus and his followers. say; for all things are always flowing and shifting.

Protarchus

Pro. Yes, that is what they say, and I think their theory is important.

Socrates

Soc. Of course it is, in view of their own importance. But I should like to avoid this argument which is rushing at us. I am going to run away; come along and escape with me.

Protarchus

Pro. What is your way of escape?
