About this book
In a pivotal moment of philosophical exploration, "Protagoras" by Plato delves into the essence of virtue and knowledge through a vibrant dialogue set in ancient Greece. This text features the renowned Sophist Protagoras, who famously posits that "man is the measure of all things," challenging conventional beliefs about morality and truth. As Socrates engages with Protagoras and other prominent figures, the discussion unveils critical concepts such as relativism and the nature of wisdom. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this dialogue not only illuminates the complexities of ethical thought but also serves as a foundational text in understanding the evolution of Western philosophy. Engage with "Protagoras" to grasp the enduring questions that shape our moral landscape today.
