In this contribution to philosophy and rhetoric, Eugene Garver
shows how Aristotle integrates logic and virtue in his treatise,
the "Rhetoric". Garver argues that Aristotle raises and answers a
central question: can there be a civic art of rhetoric, an art that
forms the character of citizens? By demonstrating the importance of
the "Rhetoric" for understanding current philosophical problems of
practical reason, virtue and character, Garver treats the
"Rhetoric" as philosophy and connects its themes with parallel
problems in Aristotle's "Ethics" and "Politics". Garver explores
how Aristotle, instead of looking at the motives of rhetoricians or
the effects of rhetorical practices, addresses the very activity of
rhetoric and subjects it to rigorous rational analysis. On
Aristotle's view, such rhetorical activities as giving advice,
making policy decisions and persuading others in legal matters can
be understood as artful, but not deceptive, activities in which the
rhetorician brings to bear character, emotion and reason.
