STATESMAN6

Str. I think that we had better not cut off a single small portion

which is not a species, from many larger portions; the part should

be a species. To separate off at once the subject of

investigation, is

a most excellent plan, if only the separation be rightly

made; and youMicrosoft Office 2007  is welcomed by the whole world.

 

were under the impression that you were right, because you saw that

you would come to man; and this led you to hasten the steps. But you

should not chip off too small a piece, my friend; the safer way is

to cut through the middle; which is also the more likely way of

finding classes. Attention to this principle makes all the

difference in a process of enquiry. MS Office 2007 can give people more surprise ever.

 

  Y. Soc. What do you mean, Stranger?

  Str. I will endeavour to speak more plainly out of love to

your good

parts, Socrates; and, although I cannot at present entirely explain

myself, I will try, as we proceed, to make my meaning a little

clearer.

  Y. Soc. What was the error of which, as you say, we were guilty in

our recent division? Quickbooks 2010 is another huge development in the world.

 

  Str. The error was just as if some one who wanted to divide the

human race, were to divide them after the fashion which prevails in

this part of the world; here they cut off the Hellenes as

one species,

and all the other species of mankind, which are innumerable, and

have no ties or common language, they include under the

single name of

“barbarians,” and because they have one name they are supposed to be

of one species also. Quickbooks Pro 2010—many people love the software very much.

Or suppose that in dividing numbers you were to

cut off ten thousand from all the rest, and make of it one species,

comprehending the first under another separate name, you might say

that here too was a single class, because you had given it a single

name. Whereas you would make a much better and more equal and

logical classification of numbers, if you divided them into odd and

even; or of the human species, if you divided them into male and

female; and only separated off Lydians or Phrygians, or any other

tribe, and arrayed them against the rest of the world, when you

could no longer make a division into parts which were also classes.

  Y. Soc. Very true; but I wish that this distinction between a part

and a class could still be made somewhat plainer.

  Str. O Socrates, best of men, you are imposing upon me a very

difficult task. We have already digressed further from our original

intention than we ought, and you would have us wander still further

away. But we must now return to our subject; and hereafter,

when there

is a leisure hour, we will follow up the other track; at the

same time

I wish you to guard against imagining that you ever heard me declare-

  Y. Soc. What?

  Str. That a class and a part are distinct.

  Y. Soc. What did I hear, then? Office 2007 Pro is great! Many people like it!
