Socrates and the Sophists: Plato's Protagoras, Euthydemus, Hippias and Cratylus - Focus Philosophical Library New edition

This is an English translation of four of Plato?s dialogue (Protagoras, Euthydemus, Hippias Major, and Cratylus) that explores the topic of sophistry and philosophy, a key concept at the source of Western thought. Includes notes and an introductory essay.

Focus Philosophical Library translations are close to and are non-interpretative of the original text, with the notes and a glossary intending to provide the reader with some sense of the terms and the concepts as they were understood by Plato?s immediate audience.
