- Abstract
Social contract theory has been the subject of extensive academic research aimed at understanding the principles that govern social and political interactions in a society. In this context, the Sophists in Ancient Greece played an important role in developing a social contract framework that defined the principles guiding individual behavior and social cohesion. By examining the contributions of famous Sophists such as Protagoras, Gorgias, Prodicus, Antiphon, Hippias and Isocrates to social life and the social contract from different points of view, this study aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the Sophists' social contract in Ancient Greece. In this study, the concept of moral relativism put forward by the Sophists, which argues that moral values are subjective and differ between individuals and cultures, will be analyzed. By investigating the teachings of Protagoras and examining his famous statement "Man is the measure of all things"; the consequences of moral relativism within the framework of the social contract will be analyzed.
