What if the better man is the one who knows he's doing wrong—and does it anyway?
In Hippias Minor, Plato stages one of his most paradoxical and unsettling dialogues. Socrates questions whether a person who lies intentionally is actually better than someone who lies out of ignorance. The result is a sharp philosophical exchange that challenges our most basic ideas of morality and virtue.
This modern translation keeps Plato's wit and depth intact while making the argument accessible and compelling for today's listener.
What you'll discover inside:
Can a knowing liar be morally superior to an honest fool? Discover the argument that still unsettles philosophers today.
