Los grandes sofistas en la Atenas de Pericles

The great authors of the so-called "Periclean century" were disciples of the sophists, those teachers who offered the world a new teaching in rhetoric, developing the art of reasoning and also opening the way to all forms of free thought. Frequently attacked and vilified by an ungrateful tradition, it was necessary to analyze what role the sophists played in the formation of Western culture. Always brilliant, accurate and rigorous, Jacqueline de Romilly shows the influence of the sophists in the intellectual development of Athens in the V century BC.
