Gorgias: A Dialogue on Rhetoric
This translation of Plato's dialogue presents an intransigent argument that justice is superior to injustice, and explores the relationship between thought and public activity. With its unique conversational style and nuanced exploration of political themes, this dialogue offers a fascinating insight into the classical position on rhetoric.
James H. Nichols Jr.'s translation brings this ancient text to life with its precise yet readable rendering of Plato's prose, including the nuances of tone and implication that are characteristic of his writing.
