DAY 296
Gorgias
Γοργίας
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
What do brilliant words without truth destroy?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Reading the scenes in which Socrates argues with the foremost rhetoricians of his day, I felt to the bone the difference between empty, showy words and genuine truth. Plato's insight warns how a rhetoric meant only to defeat others sickens the soul, and fiercely asks what a just and upright way of life must be. In these days awash with words that mislead public opinion, it is a great book that makes us think anew about the power of sincere language.
