Abstract
The article makes a comprehensive review of the thoughts of the sophists, to show that their philosophy constitutes one of the key moments in the history of Greek philosophy. Far from being a group of superficial thinkers with an absurd desire to destroy any foundation of a true philosophy, the sophists appear as the initiators of a decisive turn in the history of human thought, which put in the foreground the problems of the social and ethical life, together with the clarification of what the laws and the moral norms were, as well as the insertion of the human being in its historical and natural environment.
Keywords: Greek philosophy, Sophists, Plato, Ethics.
