Socrates

SOC. The result, then, I think, is that we (the active and the passive elements) are or become, whichever is the case, in relation to one another, since we are bound to one another by the inevitable law of our being, but to nothing else, not even to ourselves. The result, then, is that we are bound to one another; and so if a man says anything is, he must say it is to or of or in relation to something, and similarly if he says it becomes; but he must not say it is or becomes absolutely, nor can he accept such a statement from anyone else. That is the meaning of the doctrine we have been describing.

Theaetetus

THEAET. Yes, quite so, Socrates.

Socrates

SOC. Then, since that which acts on me is to me and to me only, it is also the case that I perceive it, and I only?

Theaetetus

THEAET. Of course. 10

Socrates

SOC. Then to me my perception is true; for in each case it is always part of my being; and I am, as Protagoras says, the judge of the existence of the things that are to me and of the non-existence of those that are not to me.

Theaetetus

THEAET. So it seems.

Socrates

SOC. How, then, if I am an infallible judge and my mind never stumbles in regard to the things that are or that become, can I fail to know that which I perceive?

Theaetetus

THEAET. You cannot possibly fail.
