Seated Socrates, fresco from ancient Ephesus


In the next five Saturday livestreams (June 24 and July 1, 8, 15, and 22), Greg Johnson will lecture on Plato’s dialogue Gorgias. The theme of the course is “Might vs. Right.” He will be using Donald J. Zeyl’s translation of the Gorgias published by Hackett as both a separate book and as part of their Plato, Complete Works volume. You can use other translations, because all Plato translations have a standard citation format known as Stephanus numbers, which appear in the margins of each translation. Please read the whole dialogue (more than 70 pages) if possible before the first lecture. The first lecture will both introduce the dialogue as a whole and also examine Socrates’ argument with the great Sophist Gorgias, which ends at Stephanus number 466a.
