Continuing this series which has been followed by specialists and those interested in Western and philosophical thought.

This part of Dr. Tayyeb Bouazza's project forms the first research in Arabic explicitly intending to defend the Sophists, against the interpretation provided by Plato, which became a dominant tradition even among major contemporary philosophers such as Hegel, Zeller, and Guthrie.

The value of this book lies in its novel approach and its ability to explore the Sophist fragments while criticizing Plato's interpretation by revealing contradictions within his texts, an interpretation that has dominated not only Western philosophers but also the Arab writings on the history of Western philosophy.
