The lectures in this series open with general comments about rhetoric, rhetorical questions, moral problems, and issues relating to the connections between emotions and persuasion. Even though persuasion may be a foundation point of rhetoric, beginning with Henry Johnstone’s arguments, the opening lecture teases out why rhetoric should be understood more broadly and positions upcoming lectures in the realm of scholars’ rhetorical thoughts both ancient and present.
Les cours dans cette série commencent par des commentaires généraux sur la rhétorique, sur les questions rhétoriques, sur les problèmes moraux, et sur les rapports entre émotions et persuasion. Même si la persuasion peut être à la base de la rhétorique, le premier cours, en commençant par les arguments de Henry Johnstone, indique pourquoi il vaudrait mieux comprendre la rhétorique dans un sens plus large et situe les cours à venir dans le contexte de réflexions sur la rhétorique provenant de penseurs anciens et modernes.
