Note 34 — Phædo; Or, The Immortality Of The Soul. (continued 2)

Henry Cary translation

: και αὑθις ετερος και ετερος, that is, "with one argument after another" Though Cousin translates it et successivement tout different de luimeme and Ast, et rursus alia atque alia, which may be taken in either sense, yet it appears to me to mean that, when a man repeatedly discovers the fallacy of arguments which he before believed to be true, he distrusts reasoning altogether, just as one who meets with friend after friend who proves unfaithful becomes a misanthrope.
