A. Is flute-playing a thing? B. Most certainly. A. Is man then flute-playing? B. By no means. A. Come, let me see, what is a flute-player? Whom do you take him to be? Is he not a man? B. Most certainly. A. Well, don’t you think the same would be the case with the good? Is not the good in itself a thing? And does not he who has learnt that thing and knows it at once become good? For, just as he becomes a flute-player by learning flute-playing, or a dancer when he has learnt dancing, or a plaiter when he has learnt plaiting, in the same way, if he has learnt anything of the sort, whatever you like, he would not be one with the craft but he would be the craftsman.
