The third volume of Professor Guthrie's great history of Greek
thought, entitled The Fifth-Century Enlightenment, deals in two
parts with the Sophists and Socrates, the key figures in the
dramatic and fundamental shift of philosophical interest from the
physical universe to man. Each of these parts is now available as a
paperback with the text, bibliography and indexes amended where
necessary so that each part is self-contained. The Sophists
assesses the contribution of individuals like Protagoras, Gorgias
and Hippias to the extraordinary intellectual and moral fermant in
fifth-century Athens. They questioned the bases of morality,
religion and organized society itself and the nature of knowledge
and language; they initiated a whole series of important and
continuing debates, and they provoked Socrates and Plato to a major
restatement and defence of traditional values.
