Ever resting/relaxing (besides as far as is necessary to do the good most effectively) or avoiding pain are essentially hedonistic. Even doing the good with a relaxed pace instead of with strenuous and exhausting zeal is hedonistic and negligent. Prove me wrong.

>Nothing exists
>Even if something exists, nothing can be known about it
>Even if something can be known about it, knowledge about it can't be communicated to others
>Even if it can be communicated, it cannot be understood
The philosopher gets BTFO by the sophists again

>>17400752
Gorgias btfoed literally all of philosophy:
1.Nothing exists;
2. Even if something exists, nothing can be known about it; and
3. Even if something can be known about it, knowledge about it can't be communicated to others.
4. Even if it can be communicated, it cannot be understood.

Can someone tell me the truth about the sophists, were they really just faking philosophy or did they have some points?

Gorgias was too based for his time, what a guy

>"But then again, something with being does not have being either..."
>For if something with being has being, it must either be eternal or created, or both eternal and created

>...

>"... but neither can something with being be created."
>For if it was created, it came into being either from something with being or from something without being
>But it did not come into being from something with being, because something with being already has being and does not come into being
>And neither did it come into being from something without being, because nothing without being is capable of generating anything
>therefore nothing has being

is he right?

>no way to prove
I can't even prove that you exist and you can't prove I exist either. Enjoy your imaginary victory.

Who was the best sophist?
