Gorgias - Focus Philosophical Library
Plato
This is an English translation of Plato?s dialogue of Socrates seeking the true definition of rhetoric, with an attempt to show the flaws of the sophistic orators. Includes speeches from Thucydides? History of the Peloponnesian Wars that reflect Plato?s themes.
Focus Philosophical Library translations are close to and are non-interpretative of the original text, with the notes and a glossary intending to provide the reader with some sense of the terms and the concepts as they were understood by Plato?s immediate audience.
