Abstract

This work aims to discuss some philosophical and educational conceptions of Sophistic, especiallyProtagoras and Gorgias, showing how these philosophers understood the relationship betweentheory and practice in order to provide a reflection on how one sees these two poles that make upthe human development currently. The method employed for the realization of such intent is theliterature review, which the conclusions are obtained through the content and interpretation ofthe comparison between explicit or latent meanings. Results show that the Sophists haveproposed a new way of thinking about the world through praxis thus realizing the junctionbetween Theory and Practice. This transposition dualism between theory and practice leads us toconclude that we should use the theory for us to exercise our reflective thought and have elementsto create new actions based on the experience that it is living to deal with a changing world.
