The Reason of Rhetoric

Emmanuelle Danblon

Abstract

ABSTRACTIn this article, it is argued that the rationality of rhetoric is fundamental to it. Such a vision may be found in the humanist tradition but also in the practical dimension of the Greek techne. In light of this view, rhetoric must be seen both as an anthropology of speech and as the ground of society.
