Protagoras
Protagoras is a dramatic masterpiece among Plato's Socratic Dialogues (746-a). It is the dialogue between Socrates, Protagoras, Hippias and Prodicus. Socrates is debating all three of these sophist. They debated the five aspects virtue which are wisdom, temperance, courage, justice, and holiness. Socrates asked the question during this dialogue how can virtue be taught and Protagoras answered his question with a story and it still was not convincing to Socrates so he tried to explain it in his own way by making since of what Protagoras said. I tried to make since of it as a reader and I could not because virtue was still not defined to me. I think that virtue can be acquired if you are willing to be open to it I do not think you can teach it I think it has to be developed on your own.
Good job coming to your own conclusions and continuing the dialogue yourself!
