_________________________
The Gorgias (Γοργίας) is a Socratic dialogue depicts a conversation between Socrates and a small group at a dinner gathering. Socrates debates with self-proclaimed rhetoricians seeking the true definition of rhetoric, attempting to pinpoint the essence of rhetoric and unveil the flaws of the sophistic oratory popular in Athens at the time. The art of persuasion was widely considered necessary for political and legal advantage in classical Athens, and rhetoricians promoted themselves as teachers of this fundamental skill. Some, like Gorgias, were foreigners attracted to Athens because of its reputation for intellectual and cultural sophistication.

The Gorgias is a vivid and dramatic introduction to central problems of moral and political philosophy, and to Plato's views on them. In reply to an eloquent and persuasive attack on ordinary morality as a conspiracy of the weak and inferior against the interests of the stronger and superior, Plato develops his own doctrine of the nature of morality. He rejects any conflict between morality and self-interest, and insist that the benefits of being moral always outweigh any benefits to be won from immorality. He applies his views to moral and political questions — the errors of democracy; the failure of democratic politicians and leaders of public opinion; the role of the moral and political expert in society; the justification of punishment.
