  2. Corey, David Dwyer; The Greek Sophists: Teachers of Virtue: (in English) This dissertation is a study of the Greek sophists as teachers of arete (virtue or human excellence) and a study of the conflict between sophistic and Socratic political values as portrayed in the dialogues of Plato. The first section offers a new definition of the term sophist based on ancient sources and attempts to present as clear a picture as is historically possible of the sophists activities. The second section examines and evaluates Platos criticisms of the sophists drawing attention especially to the dependence of certain criticisms upon a questionable set of epistemological assumptions about the role of knowledge in ethical action. And the final section describes in detail what the sophists understood arete to entail and how they went about teaching it. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (4.02)
