Protagoras of Abdera, Socrates’ older contemporary, is regarded as one of the most prominent representatives of the so-called sophistic movement. Instead of simply accepting the biased reports given by Plato and Aristotle about this sophist, the contributors to this volume review the complicated doxographical situation and make a case for Protagoras as a philosopher in his own right. Two major themes of this volume are Protagoras’ relativism and his case for a moral and political ideal, both of which are contrasted with the metaphysical idealism of his future opponents in the Academy and the mundane conventionalism typically associated with the sophists. It turns out that rather than a parasitic force of intellectual subversion, Protagoras may have been a prolific and original thinker aiming at a coherent and comprehensive view of man’s place in the world.

Arieti and Barrus' new edition of Plato's Protagoras provides a rigorously clear and accurate translation that communicates Plato's puns, metaphors, figures of speech, and other verbal techniques naturally, allowing scholars to feel the full scope of Plato's rhetoric. This new edition confronts and discusses the critical linguistic choices made in rendering difficult or obscure terms into an easily readable and understandable rendition. The commentary, introduction, glossary, and appendices elucidate the dialogue's many issues, especially those concerning rhetoric, education, and literary inte

Dossier : Consacré aux savoirs techniques, ce dossier prend pour angle d’attaque les vases, leur production et leurs représentations. Il pose la question du positionnement des hommes et de leurs machines face à la puissance d’une nature habitée par le divin. Les savoir-faire posent dès l’Antiquité la question du positionnement des hommes et de leurs machines face à la puissance réputée indomptable d’une nature habitée par le divin. Lieu privilégié de constitution des savoirs théoriques, la rhétorique gréco-latine dresse une typologie des formes qui fixe les techniques, en particulier du discours : ainsi l’ars memoriae qui concerne des procédés mnémotechniques bien en vogue sous la République romaine. Varia : En sus du dossier, ce volume propose un ensemble d’articles consacrés à la philosophie et la poésie archaïque (Parménide, Protagoras, Hésiode) mais également une nouvelle interprétation d’une stèle de Cyzique conservée au Louvre qui pourrait représenter une femme évergète, ainsi que deux articles consacrés aux pratiques sociales et religieuses des Romains, en l’occurrence les rapports politiques entre groupes d’âge et la divination.

In a new afterword Schiappa addresses historiographical issues that have occupied scholars in rhetorical studies over the past ten years, and throughout the study he provides references to scholarship from the last decade that has refined his views on Protagoras and other Sophists.

This is a collection of the late Heda Segvic's papers in ancient moral philosophy. At the time of her death at age forty-five in 2003, Segvic had already established herself as an important figure in ancient philosophy, making bold new arguments about the nature of Socratic intellectualism and the intellectual influences that shaped Aristotle's ideas. Segvic had been working for some time on a monograph on practical knowledge that would interpret Aristotle's ethical theory as a response to Protagoras. The essays collected here are those on which her reputation rests, including some that were intended to form the backbone of her projected monograph. The papers range from a literary study of Homer's influence on Plato's Protagoras to analytic studies of Aristotle's metaphysics and his ideas about deliberation. Most of the papers reflect directly or indirectly Segvic's idea that both Socrates' and Aristotle's universalism and objectivism in ethics could be traced back to their opposition to Protagorean relativism. The book represents the considerable achievements of one of the most talented scholars of ancient philosophy of her generation.
