摘要
In several dialogues Socrates criticizes negative comments made against a sophist or the sophists. I show that Socrates' target really is the sophists' detractor, not the sophists themselves. From these passages I draw two broader conclusions. First, Plato's defence of Socrates' memory sometimes relies on creating a parallel between sophists and Socrates, rather than distinguishing between them and him. Secondly, Socratic philosophical practice has a widely neglected feature: examining and correcting the criticism made by his interlocutors against others.
