22. Metaethics / C. The Good / 1. Goodness / e. Good as knowledge

301	Only knowledge of some sort is good [Plato]
	Full Idea: Nothing is good except knowledge of some sort.
	From: Plato (Euthydemus [c.379 BCE], 292b)
	A reaction: I've heard it suggested that truth is the only value. This is the Socratic idea that moral goodness is a matter of successful rational judgement. Not convinced, but interesting.
