Athenian
It is too early to explain how we are to contrive it: let us first make sure that we agree among ourselves as to whether or not we ought to do so.

Clinias
Well, surely we ought, if we can.

Athenian
Very well then; do we hold the same view about the fair and the good? Ought our wardens to know only that each of these is a plurality, or ought they also to know how and wherein they are each a unity?

Clinias
It is fairly obvious that they must necessarily also discern how these are a unity.
