The Sophists explored language with a truly remarkable breadth of perspective and competence. The aim of the present paper is to offer an overview of their investigations. It will trace three specific areas of competence on which the Sophists brought to bear their interest in logos: grammar and the issue of the correct names; the criticism of and engagement with poetry; and rhetoric and the effectiveness of argumentative techniques.

It will trace three specific areas of competence on which the Sophists brought to bear their interest in logos: grammar and the issue of the correct names; the criticism of and engagement with poetry; and rhetoric and the effectiveness of argumentative techniques.File in questo prodotto:
