Περιέχει σημειώσεις και βιβλιογραφία, Το άρθρο περιέχεται στο αφιέρωμα: In honour of Gerasimos Santas (vol.1), The present paper has already appeared, in a more primitive form, in Barbaric (2005, pp. 73-92); it is presented here with the permission of the publishers. The piece was, in part (as its title is meant to suggest), originally stimulated by Jerry’s Goodness and Justice — a book that changed my own thinking on Socratic/Platonic ethics when it first came out, and one to which I continually return. The present paper is dedicated to the author of Goodness and Justice (and of much good in the study of Greek philosophy) with gratitude and affection. The paper is the second in a series of three papers on the Gorgias, all of them sharing a virtually identical first section ("Background"), and an overlapping second ("The problem of the Gorgias"). The first paper in the series, "A problem in the Gorgias: how is punishment supposed to help with intellectual error?", together with a small part of the third, has appeared in C. Bobonich and P. Destrée (2007, pp. 19-40), and the third, "The Moral Psychology of the Gorgias", in M. Erler and L. Brisson (2007c, pp. 90-101). The three papers are now consolidated as chapter 4 of Rowe (2007c).
