Euthydemus
What if logic could be used to mislead more than to reveal?In Euthydemus, Plato stages one of his most humorous and revealing dialogues. Socrates, ever the champion of sincere knowledge, sits with a promising youth named Clinias when two professional sophists, Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, interrupt to demonstrate their so-called teaching of virtue. What follows is a dizzying verbal circus-paradoxes, fallacies, and clever wordplay that frustrate Socrates and amuse the reader.Yet beneath the laughter lies a serious message.
