Czy Protagoras zachęca do mierzenia dobra i zła? Dwa argumenty przeciw

In the Protagoras Socrates presents model of knowledge as the measuring art – metretike techne. It allows us to choose correctly between pleasure and pain, identified with good and evil. This paper contains two arguments against the thesis that measuring knowledge plays in the Protagoras role of a true ethical proposal. The first argument refers to sophists’ enthusiasm for measuring knowledge. The second one refers to the distinction between „measuring knowledge” and ethical knowledge in general, present in the dialogue.
