From Platoâs dialogues onward, the comparison between philosopher and sophist has become one of the themes or classical points of reference in our language. The essence of Sophism is rooted in the manipulation of word and the adulteration of language that aim not at establishing a communication based on truth, but rather at provoking a behavior by abstracting from the truth itself. On the contrary, philosopher presents himself as a lover of truth, as the one who knows that man fulfills himself not in his pure subjectivity, but in his openness to a reality that transcends him, in communion with the authentic and the true. The Fathers of the Church adopted this terminology and presented Christian religion and faith as the true philosophy or, in the words of Gregory of Nyssa, as âa higher philosophy.â This article analyzes how Gregory bases his comprehension of the philosopherâs and the sophistâs attitudes on the presentation of Eunomius he makes in the introduction of Contra EunomiumÂ I.
