Description

David Furley's own copy. Includes multiple reviews on the book and correspondence with Princeton. ; In the field of philosophy, Plato's view of rhetoric as a potentially treacherous craft has long overshadowed Aristotle's view, which focuses on rhetoric as an independent discipline that relates in complex ways to dialectic and logic and to ethics and moral psychology. This volume, composed of essays by international philosophers and classicists, provides an extensive examination of Aristotle's "Rhetoric" and its subject matter. One aim is to locate both Aristotle's treatise and its subject within the more general context of his philosophical treatment of other disciplines, including moral and political theory as well as poetics. The contributors also seek to illuminate the structure of Aristotle's own conception of rhetoric as presented in his treatise. ; 344 pages
