He reveals how the seemingly disparate themes of rhetoric, justice, and the philosophic life are woven together into a coherent whole. Stauffer's interpretation of the Gorgias sheds new light on Plato's thought, indicating that Plato and Socrates had a more favorable view of rhetoric than is supposed, and challenges some of Socrates' most famous claims about justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Devin Stauffer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521108322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521108324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.46d","brand":"Devin Stauffer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919976333567,"sku":"9780521108324","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_146b5533-7547-490c-a1db-ca68dfc7ef74.jpg?v=1680812949","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-unity-of-platos-gorgias-devin-stauffer-9780521108324","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
