Michael FredeProtagoras (Hackett Classics)

Decent

difficult read

Arriving to an argument by socratic means. Perfect example of philosophical debate. Socrates meats Protagoras in a set of Questions that lead us to the conclusion: virtue is knowledge.

For a student this book is almost useless. It's fine if you can read Plato pretty much at sight, but even then, the notes are nugatory and rarely enlightening. We need a decent modern commentary.
