Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

In his conversation with Euthydemus, Socrates talked about the interconnectedness of wisdom and virtue. First, Wisdom is one of the five virtues but Socrates, in deeply analyzing the matter showed that people are wise by what they know (knowledge). He therefore deduced that Wisdom is Knowledge.

Virtue is the act of doing that which is beautiful and good. It takes a wise person to do that which is beautiful and good. Therefore, virtue is wisdom.
