«Gorgias» is a philosophical dialogue by Plato published by Flammarion in 2018, in French (384 pages).
In the dialogue, Socrates converses with Gorgias, Polus, and Callicles about the power of rhetoric and its moral use. Against those who see it as a means to persuade and dominate, Socrates argues that true eloquence must serve justice and virtue, and examines what kind of life one should live to be happy.
The text is presented with an introduction and translation by Monique Canto-Sperber, in the GF collection from Flammarion.
A classic for those approaching ancient philosophy, ethics, and rhetoric, whether for study or personal interest.
Plato was an ancient Greek philosopher of Classical Athens who is most commonly considered the foundational thinker of the Western philosophical tradition. An innovator of the literary dialogue and dialectic forms, Plato influenced all the major areas of theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy, and was the founder of the Academy, a philosophical school in Athens where Plato taught the collection of philosophical theories that would later become known as Platonism.
