Contexts with "sophist"

Those who, unlike the philosophers, felt less love for wisdom yet showed more passion to possess it — that is, the sophists — did all they could to defeat Socrates, and when his life was found to contradict their interests and credibility, they eventually had him put to death. Те же, кто, в отличие от философов, не испытывая особой любви к мудрости, в то же время страстно стремились овладеть ею — то есть, софисты, — делали все возможное, чтобы низвергнуть Сократа, и когда оказалось, что его жизнь противоречит их интересам и угрожает их авторитету, они, в конечном итоге, добились его казни.
