Simonides, Part 4
View through CrossRef
Reading the final divisions, this chapter begins by considering how Socrates and Protagoras have proven Simonides’s poem to be fruitless and concludes by doing the same to Socrates himself. The chapter posits that Socrates has created a necessary aporia in his debate with Protagoras over the nature of good, wherein neither can be right or wrong without also countermanding their own position.
