Description

Explore the foundations of Greek thought with Sophists, Socratics and Cynics from the Routledge Revivals series. This scholarly work examines a unique group of thinkers who shared a common approach to investigation. Unlike those focused on the physical world, these philosophers used spoken natural language to uncover the realities of human nature and its practical applications. This book moves beyond the common view of Sophists as mere opponents to Socrates and Plato. Instead, Rankin investigates the specific social needs that drove the development of their theories and created a demand for their teaching. By looking at the historical context, readers gain a better understanding of why these ideas became so influential. The text provides a detailed look at five prominent Sophists: Protagoras, Gorgias, Prodicus, Hippias, and Thrasymachus. It is an essential resource for students and readers interested in ancient history, civilization, and the evolution of Greek philosophical thought.
