ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:
The subject of this inquiry is the analysis of the so-called Socratic intellectualism that was put forward by Socrates’ student, Plato, in his dialogue Protagoras. The two leading questions that we shall raise are: how does Plato formulate this position, and can it actually be ascribed to Socrates (as it is traditionally done)? Firstly, we shall address the part of the dialogue in which Plato, through Socrates, lays down this position, while trying to explicate its formulation and the argument that Plato offers for it. Secondly, by looking at the context of the dialogue itself, that is, by trying to see what are the main questions that are raised — what virtue is, can it be taught, and is it the skill that sophists propose to teach — we shall try to show, through a careful reading of the dialogue, that the Socratic intellectualism, a position traditionally ascribed to Socrates, but a radical consequence of sophistical skill that Protagoras proposes to teach, which Socrates unravels through his elenctic method.
