A review by ebeeb
Gorgias by Plato

4.5

What can one say about Plato? It’s got it all — slave morality vs the decadent tyrant, the many vs the individual, fundamental questions about how we should live. He is not successful in answering Callicles’s question about why the powerful should not live corruptly (without recourse to the soul and an afterlife) but no one else has gotten any closer in the 2,000 years since it was written so I think we can give him a pass.
