The book presents sophistics as a dynamic discourse that actively shapes meaning through language, challenging the traditional views of philosophy. It argues against the notion that sophistics is merely rhetoric, positioning it as a significant alternative to mainstream philosophical thought. By exploring a sophistic history of philosophy, it critically examines established narratives focused on ontology and absolute truth, inviting readers to reconsider the foundations of philosophical inquiry.
