Sommario/riassunto

In this study of the relationship between a modern philosophical idea and an ancient historical moment, Lauren Apfel explores how the notion of pluralism, made famous by Isaiah Berlin, features in the classical Greek world and, more specifically, in the thought of three of its most prominent figures: Protagoras Herodotus, and Sophocles.
