What man among all the men on earth has seen him, known him, or named him? Yet it is certain that this discovery has been made. It is certain that it exists. It is certain that it is now a matter of common knowledge all over the civilized world. It is certain that ten or twelve years ago it was not knowledge.

The next question is, whether virtue is knowledge or of another species? Yes, that appears to be the -question which comes next in order. Do we not say that virtue is a good?-This is a hypothesis which is not set aside. Certainly. Now, if there be any sort-of good which is distinct from knowledge, virtue may be that good; but if knowledge embraces all good, then we shall be right in think in that virtue is knowledge?英文原著 · 《Meno》
