Ἀκούσατε δὲ καὶ ἐν τῷ πέμπτῳ τῆς Πολιτείας οἷά φησιν· «Τούτους οὖν ἅπαντας καὶ τοὺς ἄλλους τοιούτων τινῶν μαθηματικοὺς καὶ τοὺς τῶν τεχνυδρίων φιλοσόφους θήσομεν; Οὐδαμῶς, εἶπον, ἀλλ' ὁμοίους φιλοσόφοις. Τοὺς δ' ἀληθινούς, ἔφη, τίνας λέγεις; Τοὺς τῆς ἀληθείας, ἦν δ' ἐγώ, φιλοθεάμονας. Οὐ γὰρ ἐν γεωμετρίᾳ, αἰτήματα καὶ ὑποθέσεις ἐχούσῃ, φιλοσοφία, οὐδ' ἐν μουσικῇ, στοχαστικῇ γε οὔσῃ, οὐδ' ἐν ἀστρονομίᾳ, φυσικῶν καὶ ῥεόντων καὶ εἰκότων βεβυσμένῃ λόγων, ἀλλ' αὐτοῦ τἀγαθοῦ δι' ἐπιστήμης καὶ τῆς ἀληθείας.»
