Abstract

The main subject of this article is the philosophical view often attributed to Antisthenes that it is impossible to contradict (ouk éstin antilégein) and to speak falsely (pseúdesthai) and it´s link to the Sophist´s nodal metaphysical problem, that of Not Being. The impossibility of contradiction is presented as the opposite position to sophistry as contradiction (antilogikós), thus defined in Sof., 232b ff., which is attributed to Protagoras, specifically to his statement that about any subject there are two opposite lógoi. We will argue that this position that is attributed to Parmenides in this dialogue belongs to Antisthenes, who was Socrates´ disciple and Plato´s theoretic rival.
