Stauffer demonstrates the complex unity of Plato's Gorgias through
a careful analysis of the dialogue's three main sections. This
includes Socrates' famous argumentative duel with Callicles, a
passionate critic of justice and philosophy, showing how the
seemingly disparate themes of rhetoric, justice and the philosophic
life are woven together into a coherent whole. His interpretation
of the Gorgias sheds new light on Plato's thought, showing that
Plato and Socrates had a more favourable view of rhetoric than is
usually supposed. Stauffer also challenges common assumptions
concerning the character and purpose of some of Socrates' most
famous claims about justice. Written as a close study of the
Gorgias, Stauffer also treats broad questions concerning Plato's
moral and political psychology and uncovers the view of the
relationship between philosophy and politics that guided Plato as
he wrote his dialogues.
