In addition to its interest as one of Plato's most brilliant
dramatic masterpieces, the Protagoras presents a vivid picture of
the crisis of fifth-century Greek thought, in which traditional
values and conceptions of man were subjected on the one hand to the
criticism of the Sophists and on the other to the far more radical
criticism of Socrates. The dialogue deals with many themes which
are central to the ethical theories which Plato developed under the
influence of Socrates, notably the nature of human excellence, the
relation of knowledge to right conduct, and the place of pleasure
in the good life. This translation of the Protagoras was originally
published in 1976. In this revised edition, C. C. W. Taylor has
made a number of changes in the translation and commentary, and has
added a new Preface and Introduction. The Bibliography has also
been extended to include titles published up to 1990.
