Socrates returns from the war and engages a beautiful and popular youth in a discussion about the meaning of "temperance." They test several definitions—shame, quietness, doing one's own business—but find each one lacking under scrutiny. The dialogue emphasizes the link between the health of the soul and the health of the body, suggesting that true cure requires wisdom. It ends without a conclusion, inviting the reader to continue the search for the definition of virtue.
