Plato on Philosophy

"Then, as it seems, this wouldn't be the twirling of a shell but the turning of a soul around from a day that is like night to the true day; it is that ascent to what is which we shall truly affirm to be philosophy."
The Republic, Plato (Book VII, 521c)
tr. Allan Bloom, Basic Books (2016)
