The art of rhetoric, or persuasive public speaking, was brought to
perfection in classical Athens. During the fifth and fourth
centuries B.C.E., rhetoric came under the scrutiny of the
philosophers. While Plato dismissed public speaking as mere
hackwork devoid of a rational basis, Aristotle defended it as a
true art. In his great work, "Treatise on Rhetoric", which laid the
foundations of philosophical rhetoric, Aristotle deals at length
with the processes of argument and with style, including rhythm and
meter. For Aristotle, rhetoric is a brand of the art of reasoning;
its function he defends not as mere persuasion, but as 'the
observing of all of the available means of persuasion'.
