In the present paper I explore the relationship between Plato and the Sophists focusing on persuasion.

This raises the problem of persuasion, which turns out to be decisive for both. And if Plato seems to have a solution in the specific case of the philosophical dialogue between two souls, the situation is much more complicated in the case of politics, because emotions and passions seems to play a more relevant role than the philosopher is ready to accept
