More about the book

Focusing on the method of division, the dialogue explores the nature of the sophist, distinguishing his characteristics from those of the philosopher and statesman. Unlike other dialogues, Socrates has a minor role, with the Eleatic Stranger guiding the conversation. This structure raises questions about the attribution of the views presented, complicating the interpretation of Plato's philosophical stance. Written in 360 BC, the text serves as a critical examination of different forms of knowledge and their implications in society.
