Présentation de l'éditeur
This paperback edition of Dodds's standard edition of Plato's Gorgias is designed to meet the needs both of undergraduates and professional scholars. The text and apparatus criticus are based on a fresh survey of the evidence: two major manuscripts are here for the first time fully collated, and account has been taken both of new papyri and of the exceptionally rich indirect tradition. The text is supplemented by a full introduction giving details on the subject and structure of the dialogue, its characters and intended historical setting, the real date of composition, and the background to Plato and Athens at the time of composition. The commentary, besides explaining Platonic usages and discussing textual points, aims to treat the historical, philosphical, and literary questions which arise from the text.
Revue de presse
`Professor Dodds's fine edition (which both fairly overhauls the manuscript tradition and supplies a commentary as wide-ranging as it is perspicacious) fills a gap untouched in this country since 1890 ... The Gorgias should have a special appeal to contemporary students, and to historians no less than philosophers.' Times Literary Supplement `The admired qualities of [Dodd's works], a scholarship both exact and deep, an economy and lucidity in exposition (Dodds has few rivals in saying much in the fewest words with absolute clarity), and an immense level-headedness and sobriety which - combined with the sharpest acumen and independence of judgement in the handling of evidence - is never seduced by the charm of fantasy, all these once more characterize his edition of the Gorgias.' Philosophical Quarterly

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the captivating realm of ancient Greek philosophy, specifically focusing on a thought-provoking dialogue that explores the nature of rhetoric, ethics, and political theory. Set against the backdrop of Athenian democracy, the author skillfully examines the contrasting perspectives of Socrates, the renowned philosopher, and a group of prominent figures, including the esteemed rhetorician Gorgias. Through a series of engaging conversations, the book delves into profound questions about the purpose and morality of rhetoric, questioning whether it is a true art or merely a tool for manipulation and personal gain. The author challenges conventional notions of power and success, arguing that true happiness lies not in the pursuit of pleasure or the ability to dominate others, but in living a just and virtuous life. Furthermore, the book explores the intricate relationship between individual ethics and political order, suggesting that a society's well-being hinges on the moral character of its citizens and leaders. By drawing parallels between the human soul and the state, the author presents a compelling vision of a just society governed by reason and wisdom. Ultimately, this book's enduring value lies in its exploration of timeless ethical and political questions, offering profound insights that continue to resonate with readers seeking to understand the complexities of human nature and the pursuit of a meaningful life.
