[Edit: sorry all, but the last summary was really lame. Admins, please use something better - here's my best shot.]

Protagoras and Socrates discuss the unity and teachability of virtue. Along the way, we get conversations about poetry and sophism, and a healthy dose of hedonism. This is an early Platonic dialogue; read it for fun, but don't be afraid to laugh!

In which Socrates goes head to head with Protagoras about being a Sophist, and a foreigner and for charging money to the youth of Athens for sharing his wisdom. A good dialogue but Socrates is on the offense.
