Abstract

SPANGENBERG, Pilar. Becoming and Personal Identity in the Sophists. Nova tellus [online]. 2015, vol.32, n.2, pp.207-225. ISSN 0185-3058.

The paper attempts to illuminate the neglected relationship between man, time and memory in the thought of the sophists Gorgias and Protagoras. As much in Gorgias’ On not-Being as in the discourse that Plato attributes to Protagoras in Theaetetus is presented a theory that establishes that man is a mere conglomerate who doesn’t imply an identifying pole hence man is as fragmented synchronically as diachronically.

Keywords : Sophistics; Personal Identity; Memory.
