More about the book
The dialogues "Sophist" and "Statesman" mark a shift in Plato's work, focusing heavily on metaphysical discussions rather than narrative charm, which may alienate readers unfamiliar with complex philosophy. Plato acknowledges this shift, admitting to a certain tediousness as he emphasizes the dialectical method. However, these dialogues are crucial in addressing contemporary sophisms that threaten philosophical foundations, particularly the denial of Not-being and the connection of ideas, which blur the lines between truth and falsehood.
