Abstract: [eng] [cze]
The Protagoras is staged as the confrontation of two kinds of wisdom that have different criteria: The criterion of Protagoras' wisdom resting on tekhne is human, whereas that of Socrates, who was designated by the Delphic oracle as the wisest of the Greeks, is divine. In confronting both kinds of wisdom the dialogue author wanted to justify Socrates before the Athenian public. Dialog Prótagoras je inscenován jako konfrontace dvou typů moudrosti, které mají zcela odlišná kritéria: Kritérium Prótagorovi moudrosti zakládající se na techné je lidské, zatímco u Sókrata, který byl delfskou věštírnou označen za nejmoudřejšího z Řeků, se jedná o božské kritérium. Autor dialogu chtěl konfrontací těchto dvou typů moudrosti ospravedlnit Sókrata před athénským publikem.
