B. H. F. Taureck on Antiphon the Sophist - Dictionary of Arguments
I 19 Antiphon/Sophist/Taureck: (~ 480-441). Thesis: Antiphon questioned the laws made by human beings. In contrast to these (Nomoi), which limit the humans, the laws of nature (physique) are necessary. Whether the sophist Antiphon is identical with the speaker and politician of the same name is still controversial. >Justice/Antiphon, >Laws/Antiphon, >Physis/Antiphon, >Sophists.
