Encomium Gorgiae ou Górgias versus ParmênidesHypnos. Revista Do Centro de Estudos da Antiguidade 26 1-12. 2011.O tratado de Górgias sobre o nada é dividido por meio da prova de três teses diferentes: 1) que o nada é ou existe; 2) que mesmo que haja algo, não pode ser conhecido; 3) que mesmo que pudesse ser conhecido, não poderia ser comunicado a outrem.
