QQC 1

After reading these two passages, my question is when Gorgias notes that "provisional knowledge is the only knowledge we can attain" I am left wondering what subjects fall under this category of "provisional knowledge" and how he figures they are free from the effects of language?

A quote that stood out to me was in Intro to the Sophists where it says “The Sophists sought to call attention to the function of language in inducing belief, rather than encouraging audiences to give themselves up uncritically to its power to move and persuade.” I find this interesting because it urges us to think more intuitively and critically of things we hear before simply believing them and moving on.
