More about the book

The dialogue features the Eleatic Stranger leading a discussion that employs the method of division to classify and define the sophist, contrasting him with the philosopher and statesman. Notably, Socrates is present but plays a minor role, which complicates the attribution of the views expressed by the Eleatic Stranger to Plato. This work, likely written in 360 BC, explores essential attributes and distinctions within philosophical discourse, making it a significant piece in understanding Platonic thought during his later period.
