Abstract

It is intended, in general, with the present research to address the ancient Greek Idea from the sophist Protagoras. According to the Athenian context, which is undergoing a vast cultural transformation in the 5th century BC, it is intended to make understood the profound importance of the Society as an educator, in the sense of someone who absorbs the need of the Greek Power to change and restructure, after its traditional standard of education, that is to say, the old idea, no longer find itself as unique in ancient Athens. In a first moment, therefore, we seek to understand that there exists under this point of view an ancient and a contemporary Idea in the classical period. In a specific way, we will try to understand that Protagoras is situated from then on with its new proposals to educate a city full of emergencies, and the present work believes that there is a possibility of a proposal of the sophist in its teaching program, that is, his Idea, which goes beyond the limits of the old or old standard of education, finally arriving at the conclusion that Protagoras was an educator who made possible the knowledge beyond the old techné.
