Description

Two sophists, Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, selling argument in Athens. Socrates, as ever, shows the trick: false premises, circles, a young man confused on purpose. Hear Plato’s Euthydemus unabridged in English. Adelphi audiobook. Comedy of logic, a warning about teachers who win by fog. Listen to eristic as a sport and a danger. Dialogue as a demolition. Not a textbook of fallacies — a scene. The brothers’ brand of wisdom, spoken, and Socrates refusing to buy it.

Author

Plato (c. 427–347 BCE) wrote the dialogues in which Socrates thinks aloud — justice, love, the shape of a good city. Philosophy here is drama. Interactive Media keeps those conversations in circulation.
