This marvellous accomplishment, nevertheless, is based on the hedonistic view that pleasure is good. It conflicts with our general conception of the historical Socrates and is incompatible with the Socrates emerging in other earlier dialogues of Plato. This paper will argue that Protagoras is not really forced or fooled into recognizing hedonism, but consciously advocates hedonism all the way. In fact, Socrates has positively, though incompletely, fought it back.展开更多
