Gorgia

Understanding the historical context might shed light on why this conversation remains so relevant today. I wonder what Plato hoped readers would take away about persuasion and morality.

The dialogue challenges the idea that persuasion equates to virtue, which made me question how we judge moral authority in today’s world. Would love to hear others’ thoughts.

The emphasis on persuasion over truth feels eerily familiar in today's media landscape. Are there lessons from this ancient dialogue that still apply to our politics?
