«Hípias Menor» is Plato's philosophical dialogue, published by Edições 70 in paperback (120 pages, in Brazilian Portuguese).
In this Socratic dialogue, Socrates and the sophist Hippias of Elis discuss a moral paradox: whoever is most capable of telling the truth also seems to be the one who best knows how to lie. Through questions and reasoning, Socrates dismantles Hippias's rhetoric and asks whether the honest man can be considered superior to liars.
The work belongs to the «Clásicos Griegos y Latinos» collection from Edições 70, with text in Brazilian Portuguese. The original Greek title is «Ἱππίας ἐλάττων».
For readers interested in classical philosophy and in the Platonic dialogues on truth, lies and rhetoric.
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.
