ISBN: 9781316633069 - plato on the value of philosophy: the art of argument in the gorgias and phaedrus (15 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: New. Plato was the first philosopher in the western tradition to reflect systematically (and often critically) on rhetoric. In this book, Tushar Irani presents a comprehensive and innovative reading of the Gorgias and the Phaedrus, the only two Platonic dialogues to focus on what an 'art of argument' should look like, treating each of the texts individually, yet ultimately demonstrating how each can best be understood in light of the other.
