Overall, "Gorgias" is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of language, truth, and human existence. It challenges the conventional wisdom of its time and continues to be studied and debated by philosophers to this day.

Author

Plato (c. 427–347 BCE) wrote the dialogues in which Socrates thinks aloud — justice, love, the shape of a good city. Philosophy here is drama. Interactive Media keeps those conversations in circulation.
