The Sophists - WKC Guthrie. Softcover, 1st Ed, 5th Pr. 1987

The Sophists assesses the contribution of individuals like Protagoras, Gorgias and Hippias to the extraordinary intellectual and moral ferment in fifth-century Athens. They questioned the bases of morality, religion, and organised society itself and the nature of knowledge and language; they initiated a whole series of important and continuing debates, and they provoked Socrates and Plato to a major restatement and defence of traditional values.
