And the narrative should be of a moral
character, and in fact it will be so, if we know what effects this. One thing is
to make clear our moral purpose; for as is the moral purpose, so is the
character, and as is the end, so is the moral purpose. For this reason
mathematical treatises have no
moral character, because
neither have they moral purpose; for they have no moral end. But the Socratic
dialogues have; for they discuss such questions.
