Abstract:

This book offers a new approach to the principles and functioning of rhetoric.
In everyday life, we often debate issues or simply discuss questions. Rhetoric
is the way in which we answer questions in an interpersonal context, when we
want to have an effect on those with whom we are communicating. They can be
convinced or charmed, persuaded or influenced, and the language used can range
from reasoning to the sharing of narratives, literary or otherwise. What is
Rhetoric? provides a breakthrough in the field, offering a systematic and
unified view of the topic. The book combines the social aspects of rhetoric,
such as the negotiation of distance between speakers, with the theory of
emotions. All the principal authors from Plato and Aristotle to contemporary
theorists are integrated into Michel Meyer's 'problematological' conception of
rhetoric, based on the primacy of questioning and answering in language and
thought.
