Plato's Gorgias: What’s Wrong with The Life of Pleasure?
In the second half of Plato's Gorgias Socrates discusses the Life of Pleasure with a man named Callicles. Here Dr. Andrew Moore (Associate Professor of Great Books at St. Thomas University) examines the key turns in the argument. Callicles is convinced that human happiness means the unending satisfaction of human desires. Socrates challenges this idea with a number of arresting and sometimes comical images.
