书籍简介

《普罗塔戈拉》是柏拉图的一部戏剧对话作品，在其所有作品中堪称Z富戏剧性，讲的是苏格拉底与知名的智术师普罗塔戈拉的一段遭遇。一个名叫希珀克拉底的雅典年轻人听说闻名遐迩的智术师普罗塔戈拉到了雅典，请求苏格拉底引荐去拜师。苏格拉底责备希珀克拉底鲁莽，还不认识普罗塔戈拉是怎样的人，就冒失地决定把自己的灵魂托付给这人，最终让希珀克拉底意识到做智术师的学生的确十分危险。

'You are going to entrust your soul to the care of a sophist. But I should be surprised if you even know what a sophist is.'

In the fifth century BC professional educators, the sophists, travelled the Greek world claiming to teach success in public and private life. In this dialogue Plato shows the pretensions of the leading sophist, Protagoras, challenged by the critical arguments of Socrates. From criticism of the educational aims and methods of the sophists the dialogue broadens out to consider the nature of the good life, and the role of pleasure and intellect in the context of that life.

The dialogue combines subtlety of argument with intricacy of dramatic construction and brilliant characterization. This translation achieves both precision and colloquial naturalness while the notes and introduction set the arguments in their historical and philosophical context.

作者简介

柏拉图（Plato，公元前427年—公元前347年），是古希腊伟大的哲学家，也是整个西方文化中Z伟大的哲学家和思想家之一。

柏拉图和老师苏格拉底，学生亚里士多德并称为希腊三贤。他创造或发展的概念包括：柏拉图思想、柏拉图主义、柏拉图式爱情等。柏拉图的主要作品为对话录，其中绝大部分都有苏格拉底出场。但学术界普遍认为，其中的苏格拉底形象并不完全是历史上真实存在的苏格拉底。

除了荷马之外，柏拉图也受到许多在他之前的作家和思想家的影响，包括了毕达哥拉斯提出的“和谐”概念，以及阿那克萨戈拉将心灵或理性作为判断任何事情正确性的根据；巴门尼德提出的连结所有事物的理论也可能影响了柏拉图对于灵魂的概念。

Plato (428/427 or 424/423 – 348/347 BC) was an Athenian philosopher during the Classical period in Ancient Greece, founder of the Platonist school of thought and the Academy, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world.

Plato was an innovator of the written dialogue and dialectic forms in philosophy. Plato is also considered the founder of Western political philosophy. His most famous contribution is the theory of Forms known by pure reason, in which Plato presents a solution to the problem of universals known as Platonism (also ambiguously called either Platonic realism or Platonic idealism). He is also the namesake of Platonic love and the Platonic solids.
