Our reading today continues the search for the Statesman through the method of collection and division.
262b: I found one of the Visitor's claims here particularly puzzling. In a meta-methodological moment, he attempts to justify the bifurcating or dichotomous approach to the method of division by saying that "it's safer to go along
cutting through the middle of things, and that way one will be
more likely to encounter real classes" (262b). I'm honestly not quite sure what to make of this justification. Any suggestions would be very welcome!
Happy reading, everyone!
