Socrates asks Protagoras "in respect to what" will Hippocrates improve by associating with him‚ in the manner that by associating himself to a doctor he would improve in medicine (318d). Protagoras begins his discourse with the statement that a good sophist can make his students into good citizens. Socrates says that this is fine and good‚ but that he personally believes that this is not feasible since virtue cannot be taught (319b). He adds that technical thinking can be imparted to students by

continental Europe. At about the same time‚ and directly linked to this development‚ the earliest art was created. These initial creative achievements fall into one of two broad categories. Paintings and engravings found in caves along walls and ceilings are referred to as "parietal" art. The caves where paintings have been found are not likely to have served as shelter‚ but rather were visited for ceremonial purposes. The second category‚ "mobiliary" art‚ includes small portable sculpted objects which

the use of the Socratic method by Socrates himself. The problem is two-fold. Speaking to the first point‚ Socrates is not very much of a teacher. By that I mean that he is either unwilling or unable to lead his students (for sake of clarity I will refer to the various interlocutors in the dialogues as being “students” of Socrates‚ in so much as that is the way in which Plato seems to have framed the discussions) toward any specific lesson or definition.

Socrates wondered what this meant so he set out to find the answer by going around to those who had the reputation of being very wise. He had come to the same conclusion for all of these men that all though they did know a great deal more that Socrates was ignorant to they all fell into the same mistake when they all thought that because they
