Σοφιστής

In this classic Platonic dialogue, a small group of thinkers gathers in a sun‑lit courtyard to untangle the tangled meanings of “sophist,” “philosopher,” and “politician.” Socrates, ever the inquisitive guide, engages Theodorus and a mysterious visitor from Elea in a lively exchange, probing how each term shapes the lives of those who claim wisdom. Their conversation drifts between mythic references and everyday observations, hinting at the deeper problem of defining what it means to be truly knowledgeable.

The early sections set the stage for a methodical, almost mathematical, investigation that will unfold throughout the work. Listeners will hear the characters wrestle with paradoxes, question the authority of tradition, and explore how language both reveals and conceals truth. It’s an invitation to join a timeless debate, where every question opens a new pathway into the foundations of thought.
