The purpose of this book is to introduce the life and work of Protagoras and Gorgias, the founders of the sophistic movement, which was the most controversial intellectual current in the history of ancient Greek philosophy.
Biographical details are presented, along with the social and political context of the time, the influences of earlier thinkers on the thoughts of the two philosophers, and, primarily, the essential points of their teachings as well as their direct involvement in public affairs. Extensive translated excerpts from their works and from other ancient sources are also provided.
