Abstract

The purpose of the present work is to evince the relevance of logos for two traditionally divergent activities: sophistry and philosophy. While the former considers logos as a domination and convincing power, philosophy conceives logos not only as the means per excellence to show the way things are, but to show it in community with the interlocutor. Therefore, logos is dialogue by nature, while philosophy is a dialectical science.
