Tindale (philosophy, U. of Windsor, Canada) contributes to the rather recent rehabilitation of Sophists, who had a bad reputation since Plato, by examining the methods of sophistic argument as Sophists have used it in their own writings, as it has influenced other schools of philosophy, and as depicted by its critics. He begins with the early tradition, looking at contrasting views of sophistic argument, making the weak argument the stronger, Plato, and Aristotle's charge of fallacious argument. Then he analyzes the argument itself, in such terms as the argument from likelihood, roots and varieties of the peritrope, the contrasting arguments antilogoi and antithesis, witness testimony and the appeal to character, and justice and the value of sophistic argument.
