The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Alcibiades I by Plato: ALCIBIADES: Very true.
SOCRATES: But how are you ever likely to know the nature of justice and
injustice, about which you are so perplexed, if you have neither learned
them of others nor discovered them yourself?
ALCIBIADES: From what you say, I suppose not.
SOCRATES: See, again, how inaccurately you speak, Alcibiades!
ALCIBIADES: In what respect?
SOCRATES: In saying that I say so.
ALCIBIADES: Why, did you not say that I know nothing of the just and
unjust?
SOCRATES: No; I did not.
