PlatoGorgias (Hackett Classics)

came in perfect condition, and the price was the best one

I love philosophy

What an absolute classic. You are taken back in time and brought through the thoughts and the patterns of Socrates. As one of the greatest thinkers the reading of the dialog can help any person bring more understanding and clarity to world we live in today. Although the book takes place over 2, 400 years ago the situation are still very modern and the morals and theories developed are still very current.The book is a very easy short read that reads similar to a play. Can be conversed with two or more readers for added element and fun.Often school will recommend this book for classes, but I also recommend this book for any other individuals just looking to understand better the grips of reality through decision making and the parallels that we face in moral situations through sales and other events in life.

I hate my teacher for this book but the book itself makes sense

I absolutely love this dialogue. Plato at his finest (along with the Protagoras, Republic, Phaedrus, Symposium, and Philebus). This is a well-done and economical translation. I highly recommend this.The Gorgias focuses on rhetoric, but also strays into the nature of pleasure, as well as the difference between a skill and a knack. Well worth a read for those interested in the Greeks, philosophy, how-to knowledge, and the nature of pleasure.

If your friends are too stupid to endure, take refuge in the logic of Socrates/Plato.

The Gorgias shows Plato raising some fundamental questions of ethics. Why is justice better than injustice, and how is the happy human life to be determined.A great translation of philosophical work of Plato.

Book was in great condition when received.

Excellent translation, but Kindle Edition needs more Stephanus numbers, only has page numbers and no section numbers
