What if the cleverest arguments were the most meaningless?
In Euthydemus, Plato unleashes his sharpest satire on the world of sophistry. When Socrates meets two cunning rhetoricians, Euthydemus and Dionysodorus, a lesson on virtue quickly devolves into a whirlwind of verbal traps, circular logic, and baffling contradictions. Their aim? To appear wise—even if they say nothing at all.
This modern audiobook translation delivers Plato's humor, irony, and insight with clarity and flair. Ideal for listeners curious about logic, language, and the fine line between cleverness and wisdom.
What you'll discover inside:
If you've ever argued just to win—or lost to someone who did—Euthydemus will both entertain and educate.
