In Rhetoric, the Greek philosopher Aristotle offers both theory and
instruction upon the power of eloquent speech, particularly its
uses in political oratory delivered to an audience. Composed amid
the popular Greek culture, in which aspiring and reigning
politicians would perfect the oratorical arts to influence voting
and their subjects, Rhetoric is a summation of an art whose
poignancy and power could change the face of an entire society.
Mindful of the distinctions to be made between speech with an
emotional argument, and speech espousing a rational argument,
Aristotle examines both while making further subdivisions. Together
with the qualities essential in the actual speech, the philosopher
also mentions the knowledge which all speakers aspiring to public
office should hold ahead of giving speeches. This edition of the
Rhetoric utilizes the classic translation by John Henry Freese, a
Cambridge academic who authored numerous translations of, and
essays concerning, classical antiquity.
