Stoic Six Pack 7 (Illustrated‪)‬

“True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing.”
- Socrates.

Two centuries before the Stoics lived The Sophists, star philosophers who roamed Athens during the fifth century B.C. commanding large fees for speaking and private lessons. They offered practical education, speculation on the nature of the universe and knowledge in the art of life and politics. The most famous were Protagoras, Gorgias, Prodicus, Hippias, Thrasymachus, Callicles, Lycophron, Antiphon and Cratylus.

The Sophists by Henry Sidgwick
