Abstract

The paper is a Russian translation of the next six chapters of a curious sophistic text, conventionally called the Pairs of Arguments (Dissoi logoi). Transmitted as an appendix to the works of Sextus Empiricus, this collection of short treaties seeks to show the sophistic (Protagorean) way of argumentation. They address such opposite notions as true and false, sane and insane, wise and foolish, and explore the possibilities of arguing pro and contra a given position.
