HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of
best-loved, essential classics… Despite dating from the 4th
century BC, The Art of Rhetoric continues to be regarded by many as
the single most important work on the art of persuasion. As
democracy began emerging in 5th-century Athens, public speaking and
debate became an increasingly important tool to garner influence in
the assemblies, councils, and law courts of ancient Greece. In
response to this, both politicians and ordinary citizens became
desperate to learn greater skills in this area, as well as the
philosophy behind it. This treatise was one of the first to provide
just that, establishing methods and observations of informal
reasoning and style, and has continued to be hugely influential on
public speaking and philosophy today. Aristotle, the grandfather of
philosophy, student of Plato, and teacher of Alexander the Great,
was one of the first people to create a comprehensive system of
philosophy, encompassing logic, morality, aesthetics, politics,
ethics, and science. Although written over 2,000 years ago, The Art
of Rhetoric remains a comprehensive introduction for philosophy
students into the subject of rhetoric, as well as a useful manual
for anyone today looking to improve their oratory skills of
persuasion.
