The dialogue takes place between Socrates and several other characters, including the titular Sophist, who is a professional teacher of rhetoric and argumentation. The dialogue begins with a discussion of the difference between knowledge and opinion, and the importance of defining terms in order to have a meaningful conversation. The characters then delve into a more complex discussion about the nature of reality, and whether things can truly be said to exist or not. Throughout the dialogue, the Sophist is challenged by Socrates to defend his beliefs and arguments, leading to a deeper exploration of the nature of language and communication. The characters also discuss the role of the philosopher in society, and the importance of seeking truth and knowledge above all else. Overall, Sophist is a thought-provoking work that challenges readers to question their own beliefs and assumptions about the world around them. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, logic, and the nature of truth.SOCRATES: Is he not rather a god, Theodorus, who comes to us in the disguise of a stranger? For Homer says that all the gods, and especially the god of strangers, are companions of the meek and just, and visit the good and evil among men. And may not your companion be one of those higher powers, a cross-examining deity, who has come to spy out our weakness in argument, and to cross-examine us?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
