He reveals how the seemingly disparate themes of rhetoric, justice, and the philosophic life are woven together into a coherent whole. Stauffer's interpretation of the Gorgias sheds new light on Plato's thought, indicating that Plato and Socrates had a more favorable view of rhetoric than is supposed, and challenges some of Socrates' most famous claims about justice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46432836255895,"sku":"9780521108324","price":3393.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780521108324.webp?v=1769306659","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-unity-of-platos-gorgias-rhetoric-justice-and-the-philosophic-life-9780521108324","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
