About
What if public wisdom was only a performance?
In Protagoras, Plato stages an epic confrontation between two forces: Socratic philosophy and Sophistic reputation. At the heart of this dramatic dialogue is a question that echoes through the centuries-can virtue be taught, or is it just a clever performance by those who claim to know?
With dazzling speeches, sly irony, and relentless questioning, this modern audiobook adaptation brings to life one of Plato's most dynamic texts.
What you'll discover inside:
• A powerful intellectual showdown between Socrates and the famed sophist Protagoras
• Insight into the tension between rhetoric, education, and genuine wisdom
• Philosophical inquiry into whether virtue is teachable-or even definable
• A vivid, flowing modern translation designed to entertain as well as challenge
Whether you're a teacher, student, or truth-seeker, Protagoras will leave you questioning the difference between knowledge and applause.
