The Essence of Truth

in Platonic terms, the word ‘soul’ simply means striving for being.

However, the soul is not any kind of thing, to which a relationship can now be attached; instead, it is itself the relationship to . . . To be such a relationship is to be soul.

Καλὸς γὰρ εἶ ὦ Θεαίτητε, καὶ οὐχ, ὡς ἔλεγε Θεόδωρος, αἰσχρός.
‘Why, you are beautiful, Theaetetus, and not, as Theodorus said, ugly.’
