Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the life and teachings of Protagoras, a prominent sophist in ancient Greece. The author positions Protagoras as a key figure in the development of Greek thought during a tumultuous period as the Athenian empire grew in power and influence. Protagoras' central tenet was that man is the measure of all things, meaning that truth and morality are subjective and relative to the individual. The author explores the implications of this idea, and shows how it challenged traditional Greek values and beliefs. This book provides a valuable contribution to the understanding of the development of Western thought and the enduring legacy of Protagoras' ideas. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333807658_0
