The Foundations of Socratic Ethics
Gomez-Lobo argues that behind the facade of Socratic irony lies a strictly deductive system of ethics suspended from two axiomsone 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.
