And what of the ignorant? would he not desire to have more than

either the knowing or the ignorant?

I dare say.

And the knowing is wise?

Yes.

And the wise is good?

True.

Then the wise and good will not desire to gain more than his

like, but more than his unlike and opposite?

I suppose so.

Whereas the bad and ignorant will desire to gain more than both?

Yes.

But did we not say, Thrasymachus, that the unjust goes beyond

both his like and unlike? Were not these your words?

They were.

And you also said that the just will not go beyond his like but

his unlike?

Yes.

Then the just is like the wise and good, and the unjust like the

evil and ignorant?

That is the inference.

And each of them is such as his like is?

That was admitted.

Then the just has turned out to be wise and good and the unjust

evil and ignorant.
