"man... knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing. And so I go about the world obedient to the god, and search and make inquiry into the wisdom of any one," (pg. 17)
I highlighted this quote because I really like what Plato is saying. A man knows that him alone, with his own wisdom is actually worth nothing if you don't have someone to share it with. I mean sure being quite wise can help you personally, but eventually you would want to talk to other people, and learn about there wisdom. Plato goes out and asks philosophical questions to random civilians just to learn about their wisdom, and other peoples opinions, which personally I admire. People these days have stopped caring so much about others minds, and how other people think and only care about them selves. Well the only way we can learn about how other people see and interpenetrate things, is if we ask them. That is all we have to do- ask.
