Sofística e Retórica no Górgias de Platão

This essay aims at elucidating the distinction between sophistry and rhetoric in Plato’s Gorgias starting from Socrates’ enigmatic contention that “sophists and rhetors are mixed up in the same area and about the same thing, since they are so close to each other” (465c4-5; Irwin’s translation).
