Protagoras (as part of Plato's dialogues referenced via Protagoras the sophist)
Book •
Plato's 'Protagoras' centers on a debate over whether virtue can be taught, with Socrates engaging the sophist Protagoras and others in philosophical examination.
Altman references the dialogue as part of the pedagogical progression that complicates claims about the teachability of virtue and the relation between the good, the pleasant, and the beautiful.
The dialogue exemplifies Plato's dialectical method and the pedagogical use of contrasting positions.
