Omschrijving
What is rhetoric? Is it the capacity to persuade? Or is it 'mere' rhetoric: the ability to get others to do what the speaker wants, regardless of what they want? Robert Wardy uses Gorgias at the centre of this book and the debate.
`Wardy gives Gorgias a new hearing. The book addresses and is accessible to, anyone interested in philosophy, literature, and the history of either.' - The Times Higher Education Supplement
'Wardy's book, descended from an interdisciplinary course on rhetoric, represents a sophisticated version of the now familiar challenge to simplistic assumptions about the godlike superiority of philosophical over other forms of discourse.' - Christopher Rowe, Phronesis
