CLST 10.11 Plato's Protagoras
We will read one of Plato’s most celebrated dialogues, in which Socrates meets the most famous intellectuals of the day. The dialogue is rich in philosophical content as it focuses on the question of what excellence is, whether it can be taught, and the role of education in a young person’s life. Students do not need to know ancient Greek or have any previous knowledge of Plato to take this course.
