Description

The work "GORGIAS" presents a dialogue between Socrates, Gorgias, Polus, and Callicles. It addresses timeless questions regarding the nature of governance and those who wish to hold public office. Are high moral values necessary, or should we prefer the pragmatist who achieves results or negotiates successfully? Should individuals be motivated by the desire for personal power and prestige, or by genuine concern for the moral improvement of citizens? These questions go to the heart of Athenian democratic principles and are more relevant than ever in today's political climate.
