DescriptionBy pairing translations of Gorgias and Rhetoric, along with an outstanding introductory essay, Joe Sachs demonstrates Aristotles response to Plato. If in the Gorgias Plato probes the question of what is problematic in rhetoric, in Rhetoric, Aristotle continues the thread by looking at what makes rhetoric useful. By juxtaposing the two texts, an interesting “conversation” is illuminated—one which students of philosophy and rhetoric will find key in their analytical pursuits.
Joe Sachs taught for thirty years at St. John's College in Annapolis,
Maryland. He has translated Aristotle's Physics, Metaphysics and On the
Soul and, for the Focus Philosophical Library, Aristotle's Nicomachean
Ethics and Poetics as well as Plato's Theaetetus and Republic.
