J'ai abandonné cette lecture après avoir lu 50 pages car ces 50 pages ne m'ont absolument rien apporté de plaisant.
Dans ce livre Platon utilise la figure de Socrate pour critiquer la rhétorique des orateurs en procédant lui-même avec la rhétorique...
J'ai trouvé la fonction du dialogue peu travaillé avec presque toujours les mêmes répliques : "oui, bien sûr, tu t'exprimes très clairement Platon" qui ne m'ont semblé présentes uniquement pour convaincre le lecteur.

saigegub04's review against another edition

Rhetoric and how it can and should be used? Is it tied to real knowledge of good and evil and can it therefore make people better? Becomes a discussion of the best way to live and whether it is better to do wrong or be wronged. Socrates argues that it is better to be wronged. He argues that the philosophical life is the best because it only improves the conditions of your and others' souls, which then ensures a prime spot in the afterlife.

There is more sass in this book than the Mean Girls movie.
