brings out a Platonic position as to the _Good_.

There are a number of things that are good, as health, money, family, but there is farther required the skill to apply these in proper measure to the supreme end of life.

All knowledge is not valuable; there may be cases where ignorance is better.

What we are principally interested in knowing is the Good, the Best, the Profitable.

The man of much learning, without this, is like a vessel tossed on the sea without a pilot.[6] In HIPPIAS MINOR, appears an extreme statement of the doctrine, common to Sokrates and Plato, identifying virtue with knowledge, or giving exclusive attention to the intellectual element of conduct.
