Plato
Truth or fake? It’s time to learn the difference.
What happens when someone sounds wise—but isn’t? In Sophist, Plato takes us into a thoughtful and eye-opening conversation about truth, falsehood, and the power of language.
This edition features:
- Plato's early years.
- Plato's relationship with Socrates.
- Plato's extensive writings.
- Reflections on Plato's enduring legacy.
Through a dialogue between a wise teacher and his curious student, we explore how some people—called sophists—use fancy words to confuse, deceive, or win arguments, rather than to uncover what’s real.
Plato doesn’t just ask, “What is a sophist?”—he invites us to think deeper: What is truth? What is a lie? Can something that doesn’t exist still have power over us? These questions may sound big, but they’re the same ones we still wrestle with today, especially in a world full of misinformation and empty talk.
Written more than 2,000 years ago, Sophist is still deeply human and surprisingly modern. It’s about learning to see clearly, to question what we hear, and to understand how words shape the world around us.
