Sophist Protagoras says"Man is the measure of all things"and when confronted with his belief in deities,he made the statement"The question is complex and life is short"making an agnostic,a brother to atheist Anaxagoras.The Sophists were globetrotters and cosmopolitans,junketted widely and had studied all forms of government worldwide,including variations in local laws and conventions.With this technical knowledge of good and bad,and what works or what barely works,they were able to challenge individuals,public institutions and pioneered social criticism in Athens. These peripatetic Sophists wandering the city pointed out thatthey were absolute norms for what was right or wrong.They also popularised debates on natural modesty or issues that were socially induced.Where Socrates theiropponent tried with distinction to show them otherwise.That there are some normsthat are eternally valid and generally
absolute.We cannot write western history,without constant reference to the voluminous literatures left behind.
