A person who opposes or refutes sophistry; someone who argues against deceptive reasoning and clever false arguments.
From 'anti-' (against) plus 'sophist,' from Greek 'sophistes.' Historical philosophers like Plato effectively became antisophists by attacking sophistic methods.
Plato was history's greatest antisophist—he wrote entire dialogues (like the 'Sophist') where Socrates demolishes sophistic arguments, and this antagonism actually shaped all of Western philosophy and logic.
