After discussing the proper ends of rhetoric, 'Structuring Rhetoric' [Dr. Rorty's essay] examines the structures of persuasive arguments; it sketches an account of the role of 'ethos', 'pathe', 'phantasia', and 'lexis' in binding the outcome of rhetorical persuasion to the future actions of the audience. The papers by Brunschwig, Wardy, and Burnyeat analyze rhetorical argument: Brunschwig discusses the role of dialectic in rhetoric; Wardy presents an account of truth in rhetorical arguments; Burnyeat's interpretation of the enthymeme suggests a comprehensive revision in Aristotle's account of persuasive, argumentative reasoning. Engberg-Pedersen and Irwin discuss the ethical character of the rhetorician; Halliwell and Reeve explore the interdependence of politics and rhetoric. Leighton, Cooper, Frede, Striker, and Nussbaum discuss the ways that Aristotle's psychology - his views about emotions and motives - affects his advice to rhetoricians. Ricoeur and Moran argue that Aristotle's account of metaphorical speech links his philosophical psychology to the 'pragmatics of language.' Cary shows how several classical speeches exemplify Aristotle's categories of persuasion. Finally, Kennedy sketches the history of the composition of the 'Rhetoric' and its influence on oratorical practice as well as on the theory of rhetoric." -- with a bonus offer--; .
