Description
"True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing."
- Socrates.
Two centuries before the Stoics lived The Sophists, star philosophers who roamed Athens during the fifth century B.C. commanding large fees for speaking and private lessons. They offered practical education, speculation on the nature of the universe and knowledge in the art of life and politics. The most famous were Protagoras, Gorgias, Prodicus, Hippias, Thrasymachus, Callicles, Lycophron, Antiphon and Cratylus.
Stoic Six Pack 7 - The Sophists brings key primary and secondary sources together in one volume for a fully rounded understanding of this early, often misunderstood philosophical movement:
The Sophists by Henry Sidgwick
Dialogues Protagoras and Gorgias by Plato
Memoirs of Socrates by Xenophon
Stoic Self-control by William De Witt Hyde
The Sophists - Biographical Sketches by William Smith
Euthydemus by Plato
Includes Sophist image gallery.
