Compare socrates and the sophist?
Sophist's desired money in return for teaching young men various things about political and social life, such as rhetoric. The word Sophist means something along the lines of "One who is wise" Socrates was a philosopher, meaning "Lover of wisdom" He spent his days wandering around the gym and the agora (market), talking to people. He developed a following of young Greeks, such as Plato and Xenephon. Socrates did not charge for his teachings. He also made a habit of proving just how little Sophist's actually knew.
Why does Plato feel that Socrates was a Sophist?
Plato believes that Socrates was mistaken for a Sophist because of his thought-provoking questioning style and his focus on challenging conventional beliefs. However, Socrates differed from the Sophists in that he did not accept payment for his teachings and sought after truth rather than personal gain. Plato aimed to distinguish Socrates from the Sophists by portraying him as a philosopher who pursued wisdom and virtue, rather than being motivated by debate or rhetoric.
Who were the sophist andwhat were their beliefs?
The Sophists were ancient Greek teachers who emphasized the art of persuasion and rhetoric. They believed that truth and morality were subjective and could be manipulated by skillful argumentation. They were known for charging fees for their teaching and were criticized by philosophers like Plato for promoting relativism and self-interest.
How was socrates a sophist?
Okay, well, my viewpoint is: the reason why one could argue that Socrates was a "common" sophist (being payed for knowledge) is, because he also got payed for his knowledge, more often with (personal) favours than with monay, but he was payed. so far the conventional Sophist. deeper: sophist as in altering his knowledge as to suit what people expect, or being payed for. well, when conquering people with questions that lead to further questions, it is inevitable to keep on questioning and not agreeing on something eventually. so here it is probable that he contradicted his own viewpoint just to prove that another person did not have an answer to this question. secondly, in "Apology" (thats how the text was called that we had in our lecture) he says he will not bring his family into the courtroom, but he mentioned it and that alone already contradicts his "not using his family to gain extra points". that, for now, is the only (possible) explenation i could give :) Greetings
Did Protagoras invent the Socratic Method?
No. He did not. Protagoras was the first Sophist and believed in skeptism, but unlike Socrates believed in the validty of only relative truth. Any truth needed a believer. Objective truth did not exist. Man is the measure of all things, and anyone presenting an absolute truth or objective truth is to be doubted.

Where Sophist the same as Socrates?
Socrates would roll over in his grave if he could see this question. Socrates, his pupil Plato and later Aristotle all opposed the Sophist philosophy. Although most written examples of the sophists come from either Plato or Aristotle, it was largely reported that the Sophists used the art of Rhetoric to pursuade people on issues of truth and morality. Socrates felt that because the goal of Rhetoric was to pursuade rather than seek truth, he criticized the sophist philosophy. I should know. I am a sophist. Michael U.C. Berkeley, class of '93 Rhetoric Major
