Excerpt from The Dialogues of Plato, Vol. 1 of 4: Translated Into English With Analyses and Introductions But admitting further that there is such a knowledge of what we know and do not know, which would supply a rule and meas ure of all things, still there would be no good in this. For temperance is a good, and the knowledge which temperance gives must be of a kind which will do us good. But this uni versal knowledge does not tend to our happiness or good: the only kind of knowledge which brings happiness is the knowledge of good and evil. To this Critiazs replies that the science or knowledge of good and evil, and all the other sciences, are reg ulated by the higher science or knowledge of knowledge. Soc rates replies by again dividing the abstract from the concrete, and asks how this knowledge conduces to happiness in the same definite way that medicine conduces to health.
