Taking the form of a dialogue among Socrates, Gorgias, Polus,
and Callicles, the Gorgias debates crucial questions about the
nature of government. While the aspiring politician Callicles
propounds the view that might is right, and the rhetorician Gorgias
argues that oratory and the power to persuade represent "the
greatest good," Socrates insists on the duty of politicians to
consider the welfare of their citizens--a duty he believed had been
dishonored in the Athens of his time. The dialogue offers
fascinating insights into how classical Athens was governed and
creates a theoretical framework that has been highly influential on
subsequent political debate.A revised edition of Walter Hamilton's
distinguished translation, with new editorial materialIncludes
chronology, glossary, index, and suggestions for further
reading
This edition of Plato's "Laches" is part of the "Bristol Classical
Press Greek Texts" series.
