Gorgias

Benjamin Jowett

Gorgias is a philosophical dialogue by Plato, likely completed around the same time as the Republic. It features Socrates in a discussion with the sophist Gorgias and his followers, exploring themes of rhetoric, persuasion, and morality. The work highlights spiritual ideas that resonate with Christianity while uniquely reserving damnation for tyrants. Benjamin Jowett's translation captures the essence of Socratic thought and the critique of sophistry, making it a significant text in Western philosophy.
