One of Plato’s most widely read dialogues, Gorgias treats the temptations of worldly success and the rewards of the genuinely moral life. Appealing to philosophers as a classic text of moral philosophy–and to everyone for its vividness, clarity, and occassional bitter humor–this new
translation is accompanied by explanatory notes and an illuminating and accessible introduction.
