Ebook: "Gorgias" and "Phaedrus": Rhetoric, Philosophy, and Politics

This volume provides translations of two of Plato's classic dialogues on rhetoric. The Gorgias presents an intransigent argument that justice is superior to injustice - to the extent that suffering an injustice is preferable to committing an unjust act. The dialogue contains some of Plato's most significant and famous discussions of major political themes and focuses on Socrates as a political thinker and actor.
