Abstract

abstract:The Gorgias presents us with a mystery and an enigma: Who was Callicles? And, what was Plato trying to accomplish in this dialogue? While searching for the identity of Callicles, we gain a better understanding of Plato's purpose for this dialogue, which is to use justice as a means for staking out the boundaries of four types of rhetoric. This article argues that Plato uses the Gorgias to reveal the deficiencies of sophistic nomos-centered rhetorics and an unjust sophistic phusis-centered rhetoric, opening the door for a "true" rhetoric that he articulates in the Phaedrus and a universal justice based on virtue that he describes in the Republic.

卡利克勒斯是谁?柏拉图《高尔吉亚篇》中修辞与正义的四种关系探析

《高尔吉亚》给我们带来了一个谜:卡利克勒斯是谁?柏拉图在这段对话中想要达到什么目的?在寻找卡利克勒斯的身份时，我们更好地理解了柏拉图进行这段对话的目的，即利用正义作为一种手段，划定四种修辞的界限。本文认为，柏拉图用《高尔吉亚篇》揭示了以诺莫斯为中心的诡辩修辞学的缺陷和以弗斯为中心的不公正的诡辩修辞学，为他在《费德鲁斯篇》中阐述的“真正的”修辞学和他在《理想国》中描述的基于美德的普遍正义打开了大门。
