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


Why were the sophists condemned by older citizen?

They weren't. The Sophists were condemned by Socrates, according to Plato. Aristophanes, on the other hand, claims that Socrates was himself a Sophist no different from any other one.
