[130c]
Socrates
But since neither the body nor the combination of the two is man, we are reduced, I suppose, to this: either man is nothing at all, or if something, he turns out to be nothing else than soul.Alcibiades
Precisely so.Socrates
Well, do you require some yet clearer proof that the soul is man?Alcibiades
No, I assure you: I think it is amply proved.Socrates
And if it is tolerably, though not exactly, we are content; exact knowledge will be ours later,
