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.

追尋柏拉圖背後的智者們,作者所謂的quasi-archeological reconstruction. 作者有著一種無比平和的語氣,讀著又讓人肅然起敬。不過老爺爺對Protagoras的崇敬簡直溢齣紙麵。再不過其中講語言理論和relativism的幾章,還是一樣頭疼,我覺得他寫哲學方麵的討論有點不能講清楚,尤其句式上的復雜度更是頭大。
