College 1 Inleiding
Leith (2019) You Talkin’ To Me?: Rhetoric From Aristotle to Obama. Introduction.
1-17
Rhetoric = the art of persuasion: the attempt of one human being to influence another in words.
o Eg. public speeches by politicians, or priests in churches.
Field of knowledge can be analyzed and understood.
Practical skill can be taught and learned (as seen in ancient philosophers like Aristotle).
Found in everyday life.
Shapes society, law, democracy.
Knowledge is power. Rhetoric gives words power.
Using language, shared assumptions and understandings are applied to new situations.
Leith (2019) You Talkin’ To Me?: Rhetoric From Aristotle to Obama. Rhetoric
Then and Now. 17-40
The invention of the Internet takes the process of persuasion a step further. Persuasive communication can be done
by anybody, with a potential audience of millions.
[part on Ancient philosophers]
In Shakespeare’s day, rhetoric was 1/3rd of a basic education. The grammar school curriculum consisted of grammar,
logic and rhetoric – a three part system of knowledge called ‘the trivium’ that was regarded as the foundation of
learning. It underpinned the more difficult ‘quadrivium’ – arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy – that students
went on to learn; all seven subjects being the so-called ‘liberal arts’. In the Renaissance, the art of rhetoric
overlapped substantially with the arts of drama and poetry.
College 2 Canon & Statusleer
Leith (2019) You Talkin’ To Me?: Rhetoric From Aristotle to Obama. The Five
Parts of Rhetoric. The First Part of Rhetoric. 41-80
Five parts/canons of rhetoric:
1. Invention
2. Arrangement
3. Style
4. Memory
5. Delivery
These divisions overlap and interpenetrate. These five parts roughly correspond to the sequence in which
you might imagine putting a speech together.
Part I: Invention
Aristotle: the basic job of the rhetorician is ‘to discover the best available means of persuasion’.
Explore what there is to say on a subject.
Do your homework on what arguments can be made for or against a given proposition, select the best on
your own side and find counter-arguments to those on the other.
