Is Socrates Right? Persuasion and Rhetoric in Plato’s Phaedrus

In Andrew Scholtz's insightful work, "Is Socrates Right? Persuasion and Rhetoric in Plato’s Phaedrus," the complexities of Socratic rhetoric are explored. The dialogue showcases Socrates’ heavy reliance on allure and persuasion rather than straightforward debate, which some readers find excessive. Scholtz critiques moments, such as using cicadas as metaphorical tools, calling them abstract and confusing. This analysis raises important questions about the role of rhetoric in philosophical discourse, challenging traditional interpretations of Socratic methods.
