The End of Dialogue in Antiquity
Simon Goldhill
Dialogue was invented as a written genre by fifth-century Greeks but in the ancient Christian empire became a largely forgotten form. It raises profound questions of freedom, openness, power and authority. This volume investigates why dialogue matters. Who wrote dialogues and why? Who repressed dialogues and why?
