This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Plato's dialogue, the Gorgias.

This lecture focuses specifically on a set of points that Socrates makes in his conversation with Gorgias, outlining a common dynamic that tends to produce anger and even lead to abusive language between people who are discussing or exploring a subject matter together. When subject matters or topics are difficult to define, people will accuse each other of being unclear or incorrect in what they say. It is easy for interlocutors to assume that the other person is arguing their position in bad faith, out of a desire to win, to be right, to dominate, rather than a desire to seek out and articulate the truth together.

Plato, Gorgias - Why People Get Angry In Discussions - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Plato's dialogue, the Gorgias.

This lecture focuses specifically on a passage in the conversation between Socrates and the host of the evening's conversations, Callicles. After Callicles has told Socrates that philosophy is fine for children and young men, but that a mature man ought to leave it behind, Socrates ironically tells Callicles that he is certain to get a good assessment of his character from Callicles. Socrates claims that for a person who wants to be a good tester and judge of whether others are living their lives well, and whether their souls are well-nurtured, three characteristics are needed.

These three are knowledge (epistēmē) good will (eunoia), and frankness or freedom of speech (parrhēsia). Socrates claims that Callicles has demonstrated that he possesses all three of these traits, and has displayed them towards Socrates.

Taking the form of a dialogue between Socrates, Gorgias, Polus and Callicles, GORGIAS debates perennial questions about the nature of government and those who aspire to public office. Are high moral standards essential or should we give our preference to the pragmatist who gets things done or negotiates successfully? Should individuals be motivated by a desire for personal power and prestige, or genuine concern for the moral betterment of the citizens? These questions go to the heart of Athenian democratic principles and are more relevant than ever in today's political climate.

❤read✔ Gorgias (Penguin Classics)

Le Gorgias est probablement le plus violent des dialogues de Platon : on se coupe la parole, on refuse de répondre, on se met en colère, on se moque, on s’insulte et pour finir on se menace de mort et de châtiments éternels. C’est que l’enjeu est de taille : qui doit décider de l’usage légitime du logos ? Le philosophe ou l’orateur ? Dans le Gorgias, Platon développe un plaidoyer puissant pour faire de la philosophie la seule instance apte à décider du vrai et du juste.
