Aristotle’s Rhetoric has had an unparalleled influence on the development of the art of rhetoric. In addition to Aristotle’s disciples and followers, the so-called Peripatetic philosophers (see Fortenbaugh/Mirhady 1994), famous Roman teachers of rhetoric, such as Cicero and Quintilian, frequently used elements stemming from Aristotle’s rhetorical theory

This is one of the reasons why for two millennia the interpretation of Aristotelian rhetoric has been pursued by those concerned primarily with the history of rhetoric rather than philosophy. This association with the rhetorical rather than with the philosophical tradition is also mirrored in the fact that in the most influential manuscripts and editions, the text of Aristotle’s Rhetoric (for its transmission see Kassel 1971) was surrounded by rhetorical works and speeches written by other Greek and Latin authors, and was thus seldom interpreted in the context of Aristotle’s philosophical works

in the collections Furley/Nehamas 1994 and Rorty 1996; for a more general survey of scholarship in the 20th century see Natali 1994). Most notably, scholars became aware of the fact that Aristotle’s rhetorical analysis of persuasion draws on many concepts and ideas that are also treated in his logical, ethical, political and psychological writings, so that the Rhetoric became increasingly perceived as well-integrated part of the Aristotelian oeuvre

– John ArthosJohn ArthosDepartment of Communication and Culture, Indiana University, Bloomington. Rhetorical invention is both a practice and its teaching—the capacity to create effective communication, and the instruction in this capacity

These resources come down to us through traditions of teaching and practice, in handbooks, theoretical tracts, exemplary models, and heritable pedagogies. Such materials have sometimes succumbed but often resisted the temptation to standardize and systematize, since the art of rhetoric in its very nature speaks to each particular audience and occasion, a requirement that hinders efforts to give it rule-bound methods

Lacking method, rhetoric is aided by the cultural support of convention, which in turn is modified for each new situation. Such a dialectic of convention and invention animates the ongoing registration of rhetoric to communicative practices and explains its durability as an unsystematic art.

There is a connection between the various domains of knowledge that reveals a common basis in rhetoric. This rhetorical bridge proves to be decisive and wide-ranging, linking anthropology, psychology, politics and aesthetics, as well as the variety of natural and social sciences

It is as if the two realms are utterly different, and require different types of logical procedure–two incommensurable types of logic (with no logical connection between the two). Aristotle divided knowledge into its natural and political dimensions, so that in his texts we read about the universe, about physical and biological nature, on the one hand, and aesthetics, politics and ethics, on the other

This text came to be known as The Metaphysics (meaning after, on or about the physics) and it deals with the most general questions of philosophy, notably thought and being. However a number of Aristotle’s works deal with what we would now recognise as the field of discourse
