  2. "No one is wilfully evil. It is enough for a man to know what is good for him necessarily to do it."
    For Socrates, the authentic practice of virtue presupposes knowing the essence of the Good.
    "Know thyself" is therefore an invitation that means "discover the good that is in you; listen to the divinity that speaks to your conscience".
