  • Summary

  • The term "sophist" has become synonymous with fallacious reasoning, but the Sophists were an important part of the intellectual culture of Classical Greece. They were also Plato's chief opponents. In this episode we look at the origin and meaning of Sophistry, the Platonic response, modern Sophistry, and the question of if Socrates himself may have been a Sophist.
