Gorgias of Leontini, a famous teacher of rhetoric, has come to Athens to recruit students, promising to teach them how to become leaders in politics and business. This dialogue blends comic and serious discussion of the best life, providing a penetrating examination of ethics. A group has gathered at Callicles' house to hear Gorgias demonstrate the power of his art.
Is it better to do something wrong and avoid being caught or to be caught and punished? Is it better to suffer evil or to do evil? Is pleasure the same as goodness?
As the characters in the dialogue pursue these questions, the foundations of ethics and the nature of the good life come to light.
