Quotes
“Euthyphro acknowledges himself that his explanations seem to walk away or go round in a circle, like the moving figures of Daedalus, the ancestor of Socrates, who has communicated his art to his descendants.”
More quotes
“Like a Sophist too, he is incapable either of framing a general definition or of following the course of an argument.”
“For somehow or other our arguments, on whatever ground we rest them, seem to turn round and walk away from us.”
