Socrates

SOC. But does not see is the same as does not know, if it is true that seeing is knowing.

Theaetetus

THEAET. True.

Socrates

SOC. Then this is our result. When a man has acquired knowledge of a thing and still remembers it, he does not know it, since he does not see it; but we said that would be a monstrous conclusion.

Theaetetus

THEAET. Very true. 10

Socrates

SOC. So, evidently, we reach an impossible result if we say that knowledge and perception are the same.

Theaetetus

THEAET. So it seems.

Socrates

SOC. Then we must say they are different.

Theaetetus

THEAET. I suppose so.

Socrates

SOC. Then what can knowledge be? We must, apparently, begin our discussion all over again. And yet, Theaetetus, what are we on the point of doing? 15

Theaetetus

THEAET. About what?

Socrates

SOC. It seems to me that we are behaving like a worthless game-cock; before winning the victory we have leapt away from our argument and begun to crow.

Theaetetus

THEAET. How so?

Socrates

SOC. We seem to be acting like professional debaters; we have based our agreements on the mere similarity of words and are satisfied to have got the better of the argument in such a way, and we do not see that we, who claim to be, not contestants for a prize, but lovers of wisdom, are doing just what those ingenious persons do.

Theaetetus

THEAET. I do not yet understand what you mean. 20
