%X This paper argues, first, that one can render Protagoras¡¯s view on the teach ability of political virtue coherent by distinguishing between the affect required for achieving it and the capacity for developing these affect into fully fledged virtues. Second, the paper argues that by focusing on Books II - III of the Republic one might see an affinity between between Protagoras¡¯s suggestion that virtuous citizens might give advice, without ruling it, in the affairs of the city and Plato¡¯s conservative practical political theory.
