According to Protagora “Man is a measure of all things”, as he is the only living being endowed with judgment. With reasoning, he categorizes himself and this quality also has a defect: not being able to judge outside his own evaluation criterion. From the homonymous myth this limit is known as Procustes Syndrome.
