SOPHISTS
The original writings of the Sophists are lost. The primary source for knowledge about them is Plato who was very negative about their ideas and their methods. Plato considered the Sophists to be dishonest since they were more interested in winning arguments than establishing truth and justice. In his writings, Plato depicts Socrates as an example of wisdom and virtue who defeats the Sophists and their arguments. Aristotle... was critical of the relativism of the Sophists. The term “Sophist” eventually came to have negative overtones.
