A very neglected area of philosophy in the modern curricula is the art of Rhetoric. Aristotle wrote a whole book on the subject, yet this true founder of the modern, scientific approach to philosophy seems to be forgotten.

What do you think of rhetoric as a practice or as a field? Thanks!

  I tend to think that would have been a good thing!   After all, lawyers are where politicians usually come from.     Smile
