 Sophists - Philosophy Dictionary of Arguments
 
The Sophists were itinerant teachers in ancient Greece (5th century BCE) who offered instruction in various subjects, including rhetoric and public speaking, for a fee. Their philosophy is often associated with skepticism and relativism, particularly in ethics and knowledge. They argued that truth is subjective, emphasizing the power of persuasive speech in shaping public opinion and morality.
 
Art: according to the traditional conception, art is a social sphere that is not directly focused on the maintenance of life functions. For this reason it opens up a certain freedom and possibility of knowledge. In the modern age, the idea of the evading of art has evolved in the face of a widespread through-organization of more and more areas of life. This development can lead to an ever-barred understanding ("hermetics"). See also aesthetics, works of art, critique, society, history, enlightenment, recognition.
