About
"Sophist" by Plato is a philosophical dialogue written around 360 BC. Led by the mysterious Eleatic Stranger, the dialogue pursues a challenging question: what distinguishes a sophist from a philosopher? Through an intricate method of collection and division, the interlocutors systematically classify forms of knowledge and expertise, building elaborate taxonomies to corner their elusive quarry. The dialogue explores deep questions about language, reality, and definition while Socrates—unusually—remains silent in the background. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
