The Sophist - by Plato

The Sophist is a dialogue that examines the nature of sophistry and falsehood, exploring the relationship between appearance and reality. This work presents a sophisticated analysis of being and non-being, truth and falsehood, through the character of a visiting Eleatic philosopher. The dialogue develops Plato's theory of forms and examines the nature of philosophical inquiry. The Sophist remains one of Plato's most technically challenging works, offering deep insights into the nature of knowledge and reality.
