Sophistics is the paradigm of a discourse that does things with words. It is not pure rhetoric, as Plato want us to believe, but it provides an alternative to the philosophical mainstream. This book constitutes a major contribution to the debate between philosophical pluralism, unitarism, and pragmatism.
