«Górgias» is Plato's philosophical dialogue, translated by Manuel de O. Pulquério, published by Edições 70 (215 pages, in Portuguese).
The title refers to Gorgias, a Greek sophist (487-380 BC) and teacher of Thucydides, who takes part in this dialogue by Plato. In it, Socrates' doctrine on rhetoric is contrasted with that of the sophists, in a reflection on persuasion, philosophy and public life in ancient Greece.

For readers interested in classical philosophy and Plato's dialogues, especially the debate on rhetoric and persuasion.
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.
