Prudes, Perverts, and Tyrants: Plato's Gorgias and the Politics of Shame
Christina H. Tarnopolsky
Through a study of Plato's Gorgias, this title shows that contemporary conceptions of shame are far too narrow. It develops an account of a different kind of shame, which the author calls 'respectful shame' and argues that this type of shame is just as important to contemporary democracy as it was to its ancient form.
