Protagoras

Protagoras is a philosophical dialogue written by Plato, likely around 380 BCE. In this work, Socrates engages with the sophist Protagoras and other thinkers to explore the nature of virtue. The dialogue is notable for its examination of relativism and the role of sophistry in moral philosophy, marking a transitional phase in Plato's writing style from his early to middle dialogues. The conversation culminates in unexpected conclusions about knowledge and virtue.
