Plato’s Gorgias Audiobook (Free)

Gorgias of Leontini, a famous instructor of rhetoric, has come to Athens to recruit students, promising to teach them how to become leaders in politics and business. A group has collected at Callicles’ home to hear Gorgias demonstrate the energy of his artwork. This dialogue mixes comic and significant discussion of the best life, offering a penetrating study of ethics.

Is it easier to suffer evil or to do evil? Is it preferable to do something wrong and avoid being caught or even to be captured and punished? Can be pleasure exactly like goodness? As the individuals in the dialogue pursue these queries, the foundations of ethics and the nature of the good life emerged.
