Collector's Edition Laminated Hardback with Jacket

Words have power-but do they reveal truth or simply manipulate? In a heated exchange, Socrates confronts the famed orator Gorgias, exposing the seductive art of persuasion as a force that can shape empires or deceive the masses. As the debate deepens, they wrestle with whether rhetoric serves justice or merely flatters those in power, drawing in onlookers who soon find themselves caught in the battle between philosophy and politics. With razor-sharp wit and relentless questioning, Socrates peels away the illusions of persuasion, challenging everything his rivals believe about success, morality, and the very nature of the good life.

A bold critique of rhetoric and power, Gorgias remains one of Plato's most provocative dialogues, shaping centuries of thought on politics, ethics, and persuasion. By exposing the dangers of rhetoric divorced from truth, it challenges the foundations of leadership, democracy, and moral responsibility. Its sharp debate between persuasion and philosophy influenced both ancient oratory and modern political discourse, echoing through the works of Aristotle, Cicero, and beyond. More than just a historical text, it continues to provoke deep questions about the ethics of speech and the pursuit of justice in any society.

Plato: - Plato, born around 428/427 BCE in Athens, was a key figure in shaping Western philosophy. Coming from an aristocratic family, he was exposed early to politics and philosophy. His relationship with Socrates was pivotal, and after Socrates' execution, Plato traveled before founding the Academy, one of the first higher learning institutions.Plato's works, including Republic, Phaedo, and Symposium, have had a profound impact on philosophy, especially through his theory of Forms, which distinguishes the eternal world of ideas from the changing physical world. Through these dialogues, he tackled justice, reality, and the soul's immortality, with Socrates often serving as his central character. His philosophy shaped not only Aristotle but generations of thinkers across many fields.Plato's influence extended into theology, political theory, and the sciences. His Academy became a hub of intellectual activity, attracting students from across the Greek world. Even today, his works, preserved for over 2,000 years, continue to inspire debate and reflection, cementing his status as one of history's most studied philosophers.
