It contrasts ancient Sophists' views with perennial philosophical traditions, explores lower appetites in human nature, and examines how intellect and will shape human acts. The discussion also touches on the pursuit of truth, the significance of every choice in the pursuit of happiness, and the duality of goods and free will.
