The sophists were known as "teachers of...". What should be put in that...?
Some sophists were perceived to teach that the various virtues, like justice were in fact very similar to some much more trivial notion. This is discussed in your notes. What is that trivial notion and why would the sophists compare justice to that trivial notion.
The sophists like to make a distinction between two important concepts. Briefly explain those two concepts and the distinction.
Some sophists were opposed to a very old tradition. Their opposition, at least in part, was based on the distinction I asked you to discuss in question 3. What institution where they opposed to and why were they opposed to it?
Some sophists were suspicious of traditional governmental arrangements. That suspicion in part is based again on the distinction I asked you to discuss in question 3. Briefly explain why they were suspicious of traditional governmental arrangements.
Seeing virtue and social institutions as a form of blank makes it possible to see them as not only man-made but as revisable by us as well. Explain what goes in the blank and how that means that social institutions are revisable by us.
Many Greeks thought of their social institutions as being somehow given to them by the gods or a God sent very wise person. How might this have clashed with the sophists. Summarize briefly.
The sophists really come into their own in the period after 480 BCE. You should probably do a bit of research and see if you can find out what two important events happened in 490 BCE and then in 480 BCE that helped set the stage for the rise of the sophists, the Golden age of Greece, the age of Pericles, and what became known as the Athenian Empire. (If you are critical, you can even learn something from Wikipedia on some of these points.) Having done all of that fun stuff, tell me the two important events from 490 and 480 BCE.
