Consequently, I argue that Plato created his world of infinitely existing ideas in opposition to Protagoras’s epistemology. Moreover, in order to prove that sophists are not philosophers, later on Plato abandoned his so-called middle philosophy and once again changed his views, forming his late philosophy of five principles.
