| Summary: | "In the Gorgias Plato offers a synthesis of what he thinks about the bitter conflict between philosophical and non-philosophical approaches to
one's responsibilities in private and public life. This book contributes to a deeper understanding of such a historically and conceptually rich

politics which charges the two former topics with high stakes that call for personal choices"-- Provided by publisher |
