This lecture series began with some general comments about rhetoric, rhetorical questions, moral problems, and issues relating to the connection between emotions and persuasion. I also offered a detailed overview of an article by Henry Johnstone (2007) in order to show how there are several interesting philosophical questions related to contemporary studies in rhetoric. This lecture, while not exactly picking up on the same set of metaphysical puzzles that perplexed Johnstone, nonetheless takes us into the world of ancient philosophy.
Cette série de cours débute par des commentaires généraux sur la rhétorique, les questions rhétoriques, les problèmes moraux, et le rapport entre émotion et persuasion. Elle offre en outre le compte rendu détaillé d’un article par Henry Johnstone afin d’y relever plusieurs questions philosophiques intéressantes reliées aux études contemporaines en rhétorique. Ce cours, bien qu’il ne soulève pas exactement les mêmes mystères métaphysiques qui ont rendu Johnstone perplexe, nous entraîne dans l’univers de la philosophie antique.
