Protagoras

The dialogue explores the educational philosophies of the sophists through the lens of Protagoras and Socratic debates. Plato critiques the sophists' methods and objectives, contrasting them with his vision of a meaningful education. He delves into the essence of the good life, examining the roles of pleasure and intellect in achieving it. This philosophical inquiry builds on themes introduced in his earlier work, Meno, highlighting Plato's foundational influence on Western thought and education.
