Quotes by Gregory Vlastos  (?)

“Plato’s Socrates is not persuasive at all. He wins every argument, but never manages to win over an opponent. He has to fight every inch of the way for any assent he gets, and gets it, so to speak, at the point of a dagger.”
Gregory Vlastos, The Philosophy of Socrates

“If he can bring us to understand our good we shall be bound to pursue it: our own desire for the good will drive us to it; incontinence (ἀκρασία) – doing the worse while knowing the better – will then be a psychic impossibility.”
Gregory Vlastos, Socrates: Ironist and Moral Philosopher
