The Gorgias is a vivid introduction to central problems of moral
and political philosophy. In answer to an eloquent attack on
morality as conspiration of the weak against the strong, Plato
develops his own doctrine, insisting that the benefits of being
moral always outweigh any benefits to be won from immorality. He
applies his views to such questions as the errors of democracy, the
role of the political expert in society, and the justification of
punishment. In the notes to this translation, Professor Irwin
discusses the historical and social context of the dialogue,
expounds and criticizes the arguments, and tries above all to
suggest the questions a modern reader ought to raise about Plato's
doctrines. This book is intended for undergraduate and graduate
students of ancient philosophy; moral and political philosophers;
classicists.
