Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Talks With Socrates About Life: Translations From the Gorgias and the Republic of Plato The dialogue which occupies the larger part of this volume, although generally known by the name of the rhetorician Gorgias, sometimes bears the sub-title of Rhetoric. This latter may seem a strange designation for a work the aim of which is nothing less than to discover wherein happiness, or, what to Plato is a synonymous term, The Good, consists. But, as his great master had brought down philosophy from the "world of pure thought" to the daily haunts of men, - to the street, the market-place, the public Assembly; so Plato deemed no subject so trivial that its relation to The Good might not profitably be ascertained, none so remote that it might not form a connecting link between men's daily lives and the universal object which "every soul pursues, and for the sake of which it does all that it does." Surely, then, the art which was more persistently and systematically cultivated than any other by the Athenians of the time of Socrates and Plato is no inappropriate heading to this search after "the best way of life."

Download or read book Gorgias Owc written by Plato, and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-04-17 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The struggle which Plato has Socrates recommend to his interlocutors in Gorgias - and to his readers - is the struggle to overcome the temptations of worldly success and to concentrate on genuine morality. Ostensibly an enquiry into the value of rhetoric, the dialogue soon becomes an investigation into the value of these two contrasting ways of life. In a series of dazzling and bold arguments, Plato attempts to establish that only morality can bring a person true happiness, and to demolish alternative viewpoints. It is not suprising that Gorgias is one of Plato's most widely read dialogues. Philosophers read it for its coverage of central moral issues; others enjoy its vividness, clarity and occasional bitter humour. This new translation is accompanied by explanatory notes and an informative introduction. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

The dialogue which occupies the larger part of this volume, although generally known by the name of the rhetorician Gorgias, sometimes bears the sub-title of Rhetoric.

Chief among the causes contributing to the popularity of rhetoric or, as it has been defined, "the power of discerning every possible means of persuasion upon every subject " 2 was the recent establishment of dikasteries or courts of justice, in which large numbers of the citizens 1 Republic, 505 E. 3 Aristotle, Rhet. i. 2, p. 1355 b 26. were compelled to sit daily as jurymen. The necessity which was thus laid upon every Athenian to take an active interest in questions of law, and still more the innate love of litigation which rendered a summons before a tribunal a matter of frequent occurrence, naturally predisposed the public mind to listen with favour to teachers who promised to impart "the faculty of p

Download or read book "Gorgias" and "Phaedrus" written by Plato and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a masterful sense of the place of rhetoric in both thought and practice and an ear attuned to the clarity, natural simplicity, and charm of Plato's Greek prose, James H. Nichols Jr., offers precise yet unusually readable translations of two great Platonic dialogues on rhetoric. The Gorgias presents an intransigent argument that justice is superior to injustice: To the extent that suffering an injustice is preferable to committing an unjust act. The dialogue contains some of Plato's most significant and famous discussions of major political themes, and focuses dramatically and with unrivaled intensity on Socrates as a political thinker and actor. Featuring some of Plato's most soaringly lyrical passages, the Phaedrus investigates the soul's erotic longing and its relationship to the whole cosmos, as well as inquiring into the nature of rhetoric and the problem of writing. Nichols's attention to dramatic detail brings the dialogues to life. Plato's striking variety in conversational address (names and various terms of relative warmth and coolness) is carefully reproduced, as is alteration in tone and implication even in the short responses. The translations render references to the gods accurately and non-monotheistically for the first time, and include a fascinating variety of oaths and invocations. A general introduction on rhetoric from the Greeks to the present shows the problematic relation of rhetoric to philosophy and politics, states the themes that unite the two dialogues, and outlines interpretive suggestions that are then developed more fully for each dialogue. The twin dialogues reveal both the private and the political rhetoric emphatic in Plato's philosophy, yet often ignored in commentaries on it. Nichols believes that Plato's thought on rhetoric has been largely misunderstood, and he uses his translations as an opportunity to reconstruct the classical position on right relations between thought and public activity.
