Abstract

The present essay inquires CORNFORD'S VIEW about PLATO'S ACCUSATION. According to this accusation, Plato in Theaetetus wrongly introduces Protagoras as a thinker who believes in « impossibility of being contradictory qualities in the same thing» and finally interprets Protagoras' doctrine as a kind of subjectivism or relativism. On the contrary, Cornford declares that historical Protagoras believes in «coexistent theory of contraries in the same thing». Corn ford thinks this false interpretation depends upon Plato's wrong explanation of homo mensura. Thus on CORNFORD'S VIEW, introduced Protagoras in Theaetetus has a gross difference from historical and real Protagoras.CORNFORD'S VIEW rests upon two points: (1) text of Theaetetus (esp. 152) and (2) report of Sextus Empiricus. Reconsidering both points, we criticize CORNFORD'S VIEW via two reasons: logical reasoning and historical reference.
