<p> . . . very well written, very well organized, very economical, very clear and to the point. . . . a very solid, honest, well-thought-out and carried-out job. --Michael Frede, Oxford University</p>

Gomez-Lobo argues that behind the facade of Socratic irony lies a strictly deductive system of ethics suspended from two axioms--one governing practical rationality and the other specifying the ingredients of the good life. In the Gorgias, the author contends, Plato tries to found Socratic ethics on a metaphysical principle about goodness in general, from which the axiom concerning the good life can be derived.
