A name for the skill
SocratesThe other, conversely, is the ability to cut things up into kinds along their natural joints, without trying to break any part like a bad butcher. Our two speeches just now first took unreason as a single common form. And just as a single body naturally has paired parts of the same name, some called left and others right, so the speeches treated derangement as a single kind in us. The first cut off its left-hand part and went on dividing it until it found there a sinister, left-handed love and condemned it with good reason. The other led us to the right-hand side of madness and found a love of the same name, but divine; having brought it forward, it praised it as the cause of our greatest blessings.
