À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Rhetoric may be defined as the faculty of observing in any given case the available means of persuasion.
Dating from the 4th century BC, Aristotle’s The Art of Rhetoric continues to be regarded as the single most important work on the art of persuasion. With the advent of democracy, public speaking became an increasingly vital tool to garner influence in the assemblies, councils, and law courts of ancient Greece. This treatise provided just that, establishing methods and observations of reasoning and debate. From Aristotle, the grandfather of philosophy, student of Plato, and teacher of Alexander the Great, this comprehensive system serves as an introduction for philosophy students into the subject of rhetoric, as well as a useful manual for anyone looking to improve their skills of persuasion.
