The sophists were philosophers who found no importance to the truth. They would much rather argue with success to explain their points instead of searching for the universal Truth. Pluto on teh other hand likes to dwell on both and question them. They have no passion nor reason to see the truth. Plato on the other hand believed that there was a universal truth, in the world, or the shining light. He was searching for a world with reason in which this truth could be found. Finding this truth is not impossible, but once found, will shed light on the world. People at the moment do not know what they are missing in the views of perception. They will probably believe that the person to find this truth is delirious. They cannot see the world that they are constraint to.
I believe most in the platonic view point. I believe that there is a truth out there, and that one day we will find it. We will be cast and often unaccepting about this truth because we do not know what we have missed. We are bound by our own thinking skills and that is connected to our truth versus our Truth.

Sophists are professional teachers of rhetoric and other subjects; they stay mostly around the Mediterranean area. They were noted for their ingenuity. They believed in an undefined world, and searched for the answer. Plato believed that philosophers should rule, and Plato believes that knowledge is the grasp of the eternal forms he denies art as having knowledge since all art is imitation. I agree more with Plato because he knew that knowledge was important in our lives, and knowing is the start of everything that we say. All words or actions lead back to knowledge in some form or way. Sophist have been looking for the answer to an undefined world, and i don't think that is good because they missed out on so much more in life. Searching all of your life for one true answer will make you miss out on experience and knowledge that you could be gaining instead of searching for one thing that will be hard to find since every person has different opinions. I agree with Plato more because he has a reasoning; and for everything that he says he backs it up with facts, details, and it all brings us back to knowledge.
