Protagoras by Plato
"Protagoras" by Plato is a dialogue written in ancient Greece. Socrates engages the renowned sophist Protagoras in a spirited philosophical debate at the lavish home of Callias. Their central contest: Can virtue be taught? As young Athenians and fellow sophists gather to witness the exchange, the two thinkers clash over the nature of goodness, the unity of virtue, and the relationship between pleasure and moral excellence. This lively encounter reveals fundamental questions
about education, wisdom, and what it means to live well. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
