Description

Gorgias by Plato is an exploration of the value of morality and the nature of true happiness. In this dialogue, Socrates engages in a series of arguments with Gorgias, challenging his views on rhetoric and its relationship to moral character. The conversation delves into the idea that genuine morality is essential for achieving true happiness, while alternative ways of life may lead to superficial success. This new translation of the dialogue is accompanied by explanatory notes and an informative introduction, providing readers with a deeper understanding of this central philosophical issue. For those interested in exploring fundamental moral questions, Gorgias offers a thought-provoking examination of the human condition.
