Summarization: This paper presents the past and present efforts of developing real-life applications of argumentation with the Gorgias preference-based structured argumentation framework of Logic Programming with Priorities. Since its free availability on the web in 2003, the Gorgias system has been used by different groups in a variety of real-life applications in areas such as medical support, network security, business computing, ambient intelligence and, recently, in the area of cognitive personal assistants. We briefly review the Gorgias framework and its past applications and present an emerging general methodological approach for developing "decision making" applications of argumentation. This approach allows the development of real world applications directly from their high-level requirements expressed in the language of the application without the need for familiarity with the underlying technical details of argumentation. A new tool, called Gorgias-B, supports this high-level development of applications and automatically generates the underlying argumentation theory in Gorgias code. The paper also reports on ongoing real-life applications in two domains: an eye-clinic assistant for first level support, and systems for patient data access and data sharing agreements according to the relevant legislation and contracts or policies of the several stakeholders involved. The proposed approach is quite general for this type of applications of argumentation and, thus, it can be used with any preference-based argumentation framework. ; Presented on:

This book provides a translation of the only surviving ancient commentary on Plato's Gorgias, written by the Alexandrian Platonist Olympiodorus in the sixth century AD. There are substantial notes on the commentary, which assist the reader to understand the context of Olympiodorus' Platonism, the choices available to him as an interpreter, and the special characteristics of his interpretation. A substantial introduction tackles the issues of greatest interest that arise from the work, including the author's mission as a Hellenist resisting Christian attacks on his discipline. Indices are provided

In the Gorgias, Socrates argues that just punishment, though painful, benefits the unjust person by removing injustice from her soul. This paper argues that Socrates thinks the true judge (i) will never use corporal punishment, because such procedures do not remove injustice from the soul; (ii) will use refutations and rebukes as punishments that reveal and focus attention on psychological disorder (= injustice); and (iii) will use confiscation, exile, and death to remove external goods that facilitate unjust action.

Archaic and classical poets are confronted with the question of Helen's responsibility in the Trojan War: to claim that she was present in Troy during the war presupposes that she was the cause of this conflict, which makes her responsible for the death of the heroes and the destruction of the city. Gorgias and Isocrates take up this question: they affirm that Hélène went to Troy and each proposes to praise her and show that she is unquestionably a positive figure. Both thus produce a paradoxical discourse about her. However, while Gorgias proposes an openly paradoxical praise, saying that it goes against the poets' words and Helen's bad reputation, Isocrates, on the contrary, announces that he praises a non-paradoxical subject, because Helen's value would be recognised by all. This thesis proposes to analyse the argumentation deployed by these authors (more precisely, the patterns employed and the progression of reasoning). Each discourse is studied separately: Gorgias' argumentation is analysed in a first part, while a commentary on Isocrates' praise occupies a second part of this study. Their approaches are compared in conclusion. This study brings to light three elements: the internal coherence of the argumentation of each praise, the positioning respectively adopted by Gorgias and Isocrates in relation to the poetic tradition and contemporary thinkers, and finally the stakes that this praise represents for them. Through the eulogy, Gorgias and Isocrates convey their reflections on philosophical, pedagogical or political subjects which concern their contemporaries, and both reflect on the questions of the function of discourse and the possibilities it offers to access a form of truth and to persuade. ; Les poètes archaïques et classiques sont confrontés à la question de la responsabilité d'Hélène dans la guerre de Troie : affirmer qu'elle fut présente à Troie durant la guerre suppose qu'elle fut la cause de ce conflit, ce qui la rend responsable de la mort des héros et de la destruction de la cité. Gorgias et Isocrate s'emparent de cette question : ils affirment qu'Hélène est partie à Troie et proposent chacun de la louer et de montrer qu'elle est incontestablement une figure positive. Tous deux produisent ainsi un discours paradoxal à son sujet. Toutefois, alors que Gorgias propose un éloge ouvertement paradoxal, en déclarant aller à l'encontre de la parole des poètes et de la mauvaise réputation d'Hélène, Isocrate, au contraire, annonce qu'il loue un sujet non paradoxal, parce que la valeur d'Hélène serait reconnue par tous. Cette thèse se propose d'analyser l'argumentation déployée par ces auteurs (plus précisément, les procédés employés et la progression du raisonnement). Chaque discours est étudié séparément : l'argumentation de Gorgias est analysée dans une première partie, tandis qu'un commentaire de l'éloge d'Isocrate occupe une seconde partie de cette étude. Leurs démarches sont comparées en conclusion. Cette étude aboutit à mettre en lumière trois éléments : la cohérence interne de l'argumentation de chaque éloge, le positionnement respectivement adopté par Gorgias et par Isocrate par rapport à la tradition poétique et aux penseurs contemporains, et enfin les enjeux que représente pour eux cet éloge. À travers l'éloge d'Hélène, Gorgias et Isocrate transmettent leurs réflexions sur des sujets philosophiques, pédagogiques ou politiques qui intéressent leurs contemporains et réfléchissent tous deux aux questions de la fonction du discours et des possibilités qu'il offre pour accéder à une forme de vérité et pour persuader.

International audience ; Based on the work of Jean-Pierre Vernant et Marcel Détienne, the goal is to propose a different interpretation of the conception and practice of thought and language developed by Protagoras and Gorgias. The goal is to emancipate these thinkers from Plato' socratric dialogues and show their contemporary pertinence. ; Les acquis de l'école française d'anthropologie de la Grèce ancienne fournissent un cadre de réinterprétation de la pensée et de la pratique philosophique de Protagoras et Gorgias. Le but est de les extraire de l'interprétation qu'en donne Platon dans ses dialogues socratiques afin de montrer leur pertinence pour la pensée contemporaine.
