"Gorgias," translated by Benjamin Jowett, is a profound dialogue by Plato that delves into the nature of rhetoric, ethics, and the pursuit of truth. Through a compelling exchange between Socrates and his interlocutors, the text examines the power and responsibility that come with persuasive speech, raising timeless questions about morality and the influence of oratory in society. This exploration of the distinction between genuine knowledge and mere opinion remains relevant today, as we navigate a world filled with persuasive communication and competing narratives.
