| Abstract: | The sophists are the unsung heroes of ancient philosophy: they were the first to develop the art of rational argument, which has been central to Western philosophy ever since. Professor Barney's lecture reconstructs Protagoras' project of a universal wisdom, focusing on his art of 'Argument on Both Sides' and his influence on Socrates. |
