thers; I am amazed。 To me; if I am to confess the truth; they all seem to be such outrageous beings: so that I do not know how I can advise the youth to study philosophy。
SOCRATES: Dear Crito; do you not know that in every profession the inferior sort are numerous and good for nothing; and the good are few and beyond all price: for example; are not gymnastic and rhetoric and money… making and the art of the general; noble arts?
CRITO: Certainly they are; in my judgment。
SOCRATES: Well; and do you not see that in each of these arts the many are ridiculous performers?
CRITO: Yes; indeed; that is very true。
SOCRATES: And will you on this account shun all these pursuits yourself and refuse to allow them to your son?
CRITO: That would not be reasonable; Socrates。
SOCRATES: Do you then be reasonable; Crito; and do not mind whether the teachers of philosophy are good or bad; but think only of philosophy herself。 Try and examine her well and truly; and if she be evil seek to turn away all men from her; and not your sons only; but if she be what I believe that she is; then follow her and serve her; you and your house; as the saying is; and be of good cheer。
