This book explores the place of the sophists within the Greek
wisdom tradition, and argues against their almost universal
exclusion from serious intellectual traditions. By studying the
sophists against the backdrop of the archaic Greek institutions of
wisdom, it is possible to detect considerable intellectual overlap
between them and their predecessors. This book explores the
continuity of this tradition, suggesting that the sophists'
intellectual balkanization in modern scholarship, particularly
their low standing in comparison to the Presocratics, Platonists,
and Aristotelians, is a direct result of Plato's condemnation of
them and their practices. This book thus seeks to offer a revised
history of the development of Greek philosophy, as well as of the
potential--yet never realized--courses it might have followed.
