Protagoras and the Challenge of Relativism

Meer over het boek

Exploring the connections between ancient and modern relativism, the book examines Protagoras' ideas alongside Joseph Margolis' robust relativism. It offers an integrated analysis of perceptual and ethical relativism as discussed in Plato's works, particularly Theaetetus and Protagoras. Rather than dwelling on criticisms of Protagoras, the author presents a comprehensive and positive interpretation of his philosophy, arguing for Protagoras' significance as a formidable intellectual adversary to Plato. This scholarly work engages deeply with philosophical arguments and concepts.
