by Tiago Lier (Author)

In a novel interpretation of Plato's Phaedrus, Tiago Lier argues that Socrates' defense of rhetoric stems from a tension between the desires that motivate speech and the limited power of speech to realize those desires. This tension culminates in a philosophical ethic that Socrates and Plato cultivate through their respective forms of rhetoric.
