“Live Free or Die Hard”
>>>Stranger. Next follows the whole class of learning and cognition; then
comes trade, fighting, hunting. And since none of these produces
anything, but is only engaged in conquering by word or deed, or in
preventing others from conquering, things which exist and have been
already produced-in each and all of these branches there appears to be
an art which may be called acquisitive.
Theaetetus. Yes, that is the proper name.
Stranger. Seeing, then, that all arts are either acquisitive or creative,
in which class shall we place the art of the angler?
Theaetetus. Clearly in the acquisitive class.
Stranger. And the acquisitive may be subdivided into two parts: there
is exchange, which is voluntary and is effected by gifts, hire,
purchase; and the other part of acquisitive, which takes by force of
word or deed, may be termed conquest?
Stranger. Then let us divide the hunting of tame animals into two parts.
Theaetetus. How shall we make the division?
Stranger. Let us define piracy, man-stealing, tyranny, the whole military
art, by one name, as hunting with violence.
Theaetetus. Very good.
Stranger. But the art of the lawyer, of the popular orator, and the art
of conversation may be called in one word the art of persuasion.
Theaetetus. True.
Stranger. And of persuasion, there may be said to be two kinds?
Theaetetus. What are they?
Str. One is private, and the other public.
Theaetetus. Yes; each of them forms a class.
Stranger. And of private hunting, one sort receives hire, and the other
brings gifts.
Theaetetus. I do not understand you.
Stranger. You seem never to have observed the manner in which lovers
hunt.
Theaetetus. To what do you refer?
Stranger. I mean that they lavish gifts on those whom they hunt in
addition to other inducements.<<< |
