The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Statesman by Plato: YOUNG SOCRATES: Certainly he has.
STRANGER: Then we may put all together as one and the same--statesmanship

STRANGER: Think whether you can find any joint or parting in knowledge.
YOUNG SOCRATES: Tell me of what sort.
STRANGER: Such as this: You may remember that we made an art of
