Description
Aristotle's Art of Rhetoric is a seminal work that explores the art of persuasive speech. In this systematic treatment of rhetoric, Aristotle examines what makes a good speech and how to compose one that resonates with audiences. The treatise considers the context of ancient Greek democratic city-states, where speeches were used to conduct politics and administer the law. Aristotle discusses how speakers should devise arguments, evoke emotions, and demonstrate their credibility to persuade others. This influential work has had a profound impact on later attempts to understand what makes speech persuasive. A new translation of the text is accompanied by an introduction that provides context on the political, philosophical, and rhetorical background to Aristotle's treatise, as well as its composition and transmission.
