The Protagoran

The Georgia College Speech & Debate Team invites you to join us for an evening of oratory, debate, and tomfoolery. On Tuesday November 15th from 5pm-6pm in Heritage Hall--the Library's Clarke st. entrance--team members will be delivering excerpts of original oratory, prose interpretations, and debate. 

Protagoras is perhaps the most famous of the older Sophists: traveling and professional teachers of rhetoric on the Ancient Attic Peninsula. Although Western philosophical traditions inherit "sophistry" as a pejorative term, these nimble arguers offer citizens of the contemporary world real resources for ethical advocacy, navigating disagreement, and avowing the plurality and partiality of the polis. It'll be a good time come on through. Come on do it. This event is free and open to the public.
