 In this episode, we complete our journey through the full text of Plato's Gorgias. The text is the one from Project Gutenberg, translated by Benjamin Jowett, which you can find here:
https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1672
Since this is a long text, I have divided it into what I call "Parts" 1 through 4. (Note that these divisions are not in the original text, nor in Jowett's translation.)
In this, Part 4, Callicles defects from the conversation, and, bidden by the audience, Socrates agrees to play both parts in the conversation, so as to bring his argument to its conclusion.

I hope you enjoy it.
