The main difference between the Sophists and the other philosophers is that the Sophists were essentially rhetoric teachers, while the other philosophers were more interested in seeking the truth.

The Sophists were rhetoric teachers, and their focus was on the art of persuasion by using language. They were wise intellectual people, and they tried to use and teach their abilities of persuasion by using language to the wider masses.

The philosophers, on the other hand, were focused on knowing the truth, they wanted to be wiser by knowing the truth instead of dogmatically stand by the false beliefs. So they were trying to teach the wider masses the ways as to how to come to the truth and wisdom.

What was the role of a proconsul under Augustus? Do we have these in America?

shusha [124]

Answer:

The role of a proconsul under Augustus was acted governor over the province. The White House staff is reported to have concluded after an internal review that the United States does not have a parliamentary system. The lesson deduced from this insight is evidently that we have proconsuls instead, but in neither case is a regime of separated powers treated as more than an inconvenience. Hope this helped.
