Protagoras

About “Protagoras”

Protagoras is a dialogue by Plato that explores philosophical ideas through a conversation between Socrates and Protagoras, a well-known sophist. The discussion takes place at the home of Callias, who is hosting Protagoras during his visit. The main topics include whether virtue is a single thing or multiple, and whether it can be taught. The dialogue also examines the connection between pleasure and moral goodness. It is part of the Platonic corpus and reflects early philosophical debates on ethics and education.
