Quotes by Steven B. Cowan (?)

“Socrates repeatedly emphasized the point that moral knowledge is not mere acquisition of information but personal change. To know the good is to do it, Socrates declared. That is, if you really know the right thing to do in a situation, then your behavior will prove it. To act immorally is to prove your ignorance.”
― Steven B. Cowan, The Love of Wisdom: A Christian Introduction to Philosophy
