Hector and Odysseus in the Hippias Minor
Boháček, Kryštof
Plato seeks to display the weakness of the teaching of the sophist Hippias of Elis, in particular the absence of coherence in his craftsmanship. Socrates assumes here the role of a philosophical destroyer and this role does contain an element of sophistry. The goal of his argumentation is to demonstrate the fact that for a philosopher, it does not suffice to be a scientist: philosopher must be an excellent inspired speaker, not an expert in a particular field.
