Produktbeschreibung

Sophists, Socratics and Cynics, first published in 1983, discusses their origins, aims and arguments, and relates the issues they focussed on to debates apparent in contemporary literature. It also traces the sophistic strand in Greek thought beyond the great barrier of Plato, emphasising continuity with the Cynics, and concludes with a look forward to Epicureans and Stoics.
