When Socrates said that virtue is knowledge, he was not using “knowledge” to mean pure, abstract knowledge of the good. Rather, he meant knowledge which chooses and wants the good - in other words, an inner disposition in which thought, will, and desire are one. (65)
We said above that for Plato,
knowledge is never purely theoretical. It is the transformation of our being;
it is virtue. And now we can say that it is also affectivity. (70)
