Abstract

The speech will touch on first three chapters of a remarkable sofistic text called the Pairs of Arguments (Dissoi logoi). Transmitted as an appendix to the works of Sextus Empiricus, this collection of short trea-ties seeks to show the sophistic (Protagorean) way of argumentation. They address such opposite notions as bad and good, ugly and beautiful, unjust and just, and explore the possibilities of arguing pro and contra a given position.
