Note 8.1, dissonant (208a1)
Before the note both our bodies and our knowledge are perishing, and this seems to mark a dissonant first quarternote.
After the note, practising or repeatedly memorizing our knowledge and younger replacements give us a kind of salvation and immortality. Here the krasis between mortal and immortal is explicitly called âparticipationâ (metechei; 208b3).
The soul and knowledge are discussed only in the passage stretching from the octad just before the quarternote to the octad just after it.
It is not certain how to calculate the relative consonance of the quarternotes, although they seem to be more or less consonant according to which wholenotes they are near. This quarternote is between two very consonant notes, 8.0 and 9.0, but a negative sentence occurs at the note and the positive krasis afterwards. Although it is devoted to the soul, it seems to be as much negative and disharmonious as positive and harmonious (cf. 4.1).
This passage implies that the âpractisingâ (meletan) mentioned in the first line of the dialogue is a reference to a kind of krasis or harmony between mortal and immortal.
