Abstract:

. In this study it is attempted to deal with sophists’ mind of knowledge is in the epistemology. While their location in the epistemology is determined it is discussed firstly for what reasons and the political culturalConditions of possibility of knowledge, limits what is the source of information to use, what will be the measure of accuracy.Problem in study are issues emerging from relativism in the knowledge which cause to sophists as tight advocate of phenomenology and skepticism. This, it is result in that sophists base on the sensory of the source of knowledge. These problems are not only the rejection of absolute knowledge but also the rejection of the accepted system of universal values. The sophists defends on would not be universal, absolute knowledge and a universal moral norm with a mind that criticized, doubted. What lies at the heart of their defense of being a universal norm or information is that they prefer the nomos / these to physis and nomos, which are believed to be accepted and inherited in the aristocratic Greek culture before them Here, the defense of thesei as things implies the assumption that there are no inherited idea in the mind. This 'new man' standing with the sophists is an 'enlightened person' who does not surrender his own destiny to the hands of the gods. Therefore, politics, religion, morality and art are in the hands of people.  In this sense, we understand that the creation of 'new man' has changed the direction of philosophy with the sophists. Because a new understanding of person means a new understanding of being and information.
