~ 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.
