More about the book

Exploring the themes of justice and authority, this work offers comparative analyses of Plato's Gorgias, the Republic, and Thucydides' History. It highlights shared concepts, particularly the notion of "natural justice" as articulated by figures like Callicles and Thrasymachus, as well as in the Melian Dialogue. The author argues that these texts exhibit a continuous development of ideas that reveal deeper connections between their philosophical and historical contexts.
