Protagoras - Complete Works 22

Plato is undoubtedly one of the most important and influential philosophers in the history of thought. He contributed to the institutionalization of philosophy and the formation of the written tradition in philosophy, and was the initiator of the idealist philosophy tradition that would determine the entire medieval thought with its two-world metaphysics. Plato, who is also important in terms of his influence on Christian Medieval philosophy and Islamic thought, addressed all the problems discussed throughout the history of thought hundreds of years ago and built the first major philosophical system.

Protagoras dialogue, which is one of Plato's youth works and where we can see his approach towards the sophists, is basically shaped by what virtue is and whether it can be taught. Plato again brings Socrates up against Protagoras, one of the most important sophists, to represent his own views. He also criticizes the sophists' understanding of knowledge based on Protagoras's saying "man is the measure of everything".
