Plato And The Spirit Of Sophistic Subjectivity: Its Causes, Errors, And Justification

By F. W. Bussell

Book Overview

""Plato and the Spirit of Sophistic Subjectivity: Its Causes, Errors, and Justification"" is a philosophical book written by F.W. Bussell. The book examines the concept of subjectivity in ancient Greek philosophy, particularly in the works of Plato. Bussell argues that the rise of sophistry in Athens led to a shift in philosophical thinking, where individual subjectivity became more prominent than objective truth. This shift, Bussell contends, has led to errors in philosophical thought and a justification of subjective opinions over objective reality. The book analyzes Plato's dialogues and explores his critique of sophistry and his attempt to restore objective truth to philosophical discourse. Bussell's work is a valuable contribution to the study of ancient Greek philosophy and the history of philosophical thought.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: School of Plato: Its Origin, Development, and Revival Under the Roman Empire, by F.
