The presocratic philosopher Protagoras of Abdera (490-420 BCE) was
the founder of the sophistic movement, was famously agnostic
towards the existence and nature of the gods and the proponent of
the doctrine that 'man is the measure of all things.' Still
relevant to contemporary society, Protagoras is in many ways a
precursor of the postmodern movement. In the brief fragments that
survive, he lays the foundation for relativism, agnosticism, the
significance of rhetoric, a pedagogy for critical thinking and a
conception of the human being as a social construction. This
accessible, introductory survey by Daniel Silvermintz covers
Protogoras's life, ideas, and lasting legacy. Each chapter
interprets one of the surviving fragments and draw connections with
related ideas forwarded by other sophists and show relevance to an
area of knowledge: epistemology, ethics, education, and sociology.
