Socrates: The shoemaker, for example, uses a square tool, and a circular tool, and other tools for cutting?

Socrates: But the tool is not the same as the cutter and user of the tool? | Alcibiades: Of course not. … | Socrates: Then what shall we say of the shoemaker? Does he cut with his tools only or with his hands? | Alcibiades: With his hands as well. | Socrates: He uses his hands too? | Alcibiades: Yes. … | Socrates: And does not a man use the whole body? | Alcibiades: Certainly. | Socrates: And that which uses is different from that which is used? | Alcibiades: True. | Socrates: Then a man is not the same as his own body? | Alcibiades: That is the inference. | Socrates: What is he, then? | Alcibiades: I cannot say. | Socrates: Nay, you can say that he is the user of the body. | Socrates: And the user of the body is the soul? | Alcibiades: Yes, the soul.
