Summary: 1 Stars
I did not receive the item because they were out of stock, so I really can not rate the service. This is the first time that I have bought from this particular company, so I have no comment. However, if i was to rate this particular occasion, i would give it a 1 because I could not get what i wanted.
Summary of Gorgias
Taking the form of a dialogue among Socrates, Gorgias, Polus, and Callicles, the Gorgias debates crucial questions about the nature of government. While the aspiring politician Callicles propounds the view that might is right, and the rhetorician Gorgias argues that oratory and the power to persuade represent "the greatest good," Socrates insists on the duty of politicians to consider the welfare of their citizens-a duty he believed had been dishonored in the Athens of his time. The dialogue offers fascinating insights into how classical Athens was governed and creates a theoretical framework that has been highly influential on subsequent political debate.Classics Books
