Sophist : A Deep Inquiry into Falsehood, Language, and Reality – Plato’s Study of the Nature of Being

What if deception had a logic of its own?

In Sophist, Plato dares to tackle the concept of falsehood—not as error, but as something that seems to exist within language and thought. Through a dense but gripping dialogue between the Eleatic Stranger and Theaetetus, the discussion exposes the tricks of sophistry, the instability of language, and the paradox of how “what is not” can still be spoken of and understood.

This modernized audiobook delivers one of Plato’s most intellectually daring texts with clarity and precision. Perfect for thinkers, scholars, and seekers of truth.

What you’ll discover inside:

• A bold philosophical exploration of non-being, falsehood, and the metaphysics of language

• A deep critique of sophistry, appearance, and rhetorical manipulation

• Plato’s method of division—used to isolate philosophical concepts with surgical accuracy

• A readable, listener-friendly adaptation of one of Plato’s most abstract and influential works

If you want to unravel the logic behind illusion and sharpen your understanding of truth, Sophist is essential listening.
