Description

Protagoras Plato - The Protagoras is one of Plato's most entertaining dialogues.

It represents Socrates at a gathering of the most celebrated and highest-earning intellectuals of the day, among them the sophist Protagoras.

In flamboyant displays of both rhetoric and dialectic, Socrates and Protagoras try to out-argue one another.

Their arguments range widely, from political theory to literary criticism, from education to the nature of cowardice; but in view throughout this literary and philosophical masterpiece are the questions of what part knowledge plays in a successful life, and how we may acquire the knowledge that makes for success.

This edition contains the first commentary in English on the Greek text for almost a hundred years.
