| 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. | |||
