In contrast, Western culture's implicit assumption that argument is about truth or falsity urges one to assume that one side of the argument is true or more accurate and that other accounts are false or less accurate. Rather--and this is the heart of dissoi logoi--at least one other perspective is always available to serve as an other to the stronger argument. In fact, another term for dissoilogoi is dialexis, and the term is related to dialectic—the opposing forces method of getting at truth espoused by Socrates, Plato and other heavy hitters of classical Athens.

The Sophist give examples of what good and bad is. Thought experiments are, first of all, experiments. The thought experiment is first mentioned in an ethnographical context: when attempting to demonstrate that seemliness and unseemliness are relative concepts, the writer describes a series of practices which are thought honorable by one ethnic group and disgraceful by another. Each half of the two—part experiment then serves to reaffirm and re- inforce the other. We can now test the hypothesis that moral judgments are not absolute by ex- experiments in the laboratory, by providing detailed written descriptions of his equipment and procedures; see Cantor , Let us begin by looking at one such hypothetical trial in the Dissoi Logoi, an anonymous sophistic composition, written mainly in Doric, which is generally dated to the beginning of the fourth century.
