About this product

Product Information

This book offers an introduction to the Sophists of fifth-century Athens and a new overall interpretation of their thought. Since Plato first animadverted on their activities, the Sophists have commonly been presented as little better than intellectual mountebanks - a picture which Professor Kerferd forcefully challenges here. Interpreting the evidence with care, he shows them to have been part of an exciting and historically crucial intellectual movement. At the centre of their teaching was a form of relativism, most famously expressed by Protagoras as 'Man is the measure of all things', and which they developed in a wide range of views - on knowledge and argument, virtue, government, society, and the gods. On all these subjects the Sophists did far more than simply provoke Plato to thought. Their contributions were substantial and serious; they inaugurated the debate on many central philosophical questions and decisively shifted the focus of philosophical attention from the cosmos to man.

    I bought it for my mum's birthday and she loves it. It has good information and images explaining things in excellent detail. It arrived well packaged and in new condition as advertised. Simplybestprices was the cheapest I found on the internet, so I went with them. The only negative was with the shipping, not the product. I ordered in Dec 2024 and it took many weeks before getting shipping details and then the delivery date kept changing and moving later. It eventuallly arrived early Feb.

    This arrived today in excellent, clean condition and was carefully packed & dispatched. A very useful resource to get started on researching the needs of aging parents. There are four parts to this book. It addresses "at-home" care, residential care, finances and sources. Glossary included. I think this is good value for money and a great way to start targeted research. Knowing the questions to ask is the first thing (for me ) & is helpful. Great seller! Good communication. Thankyou.
