Sophist is a late Platonic dialogue in which an Eleatic visitor, with Socrates present, seeks a definition of the sophist through methodical division. The conversation widens into an inquiry into being, not-being, and falsehood, asking how images and errors are possible. It rewards listening for its rigorous dialectic and its effort to distinguish philosophy from mere rhetoric.
