What is a sophist? A clever deceiver? A master of rhetoric? A philosopher in disguise? In Sophist, Plato takes us deep into the world of logic, illusion, and the very fabric of reality itself. Through a dialogue between a mysterious Stranger and young Theaetetus, this rich and complex work challenges the boundaries between truth and falsehood, being and non-being, appearance and reality. As they try to define the elusive "sophist"—the smooth-talking intellectual who profits from seeming wise—the conversation evolves into a profound inquiry into the nature of existence. What does it mean to be? Can falsehood exist at all? With surprising clarity, Sophist anticipates debates that still rage today in philosophy, politics, and language. A dazzling example of dialectical reasoning, Sophist is both a philosophical thriller and a foundational text in metaphysics. It invites readers to question what they think they know—and what it means to know anything at all.
