Rhetoric (FLTRP Bilingual Library)

"Rhetoric" is one of Aristotle's most important extant literary and artistic theoretical works, and it is also the first systematic rhetorical theoretical work in the history of European literary and artistic theory. In this book, Aristotle defined the nature, definition and significance of rhetoric, summarized the development history and research results of rhetoric in the past, analyzed the emotions that can be used in speeches, rhetorical themes, methods of persuasion, and discussed the form (style and arrangement) of speeches. This book pioneered a scientific rhetoric system and has important theoretical significance and academic value for future generations to study and study Western rhetoric. Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC), an ancient sage, an ancient Greek, one of the great philosophers, scientists and educators in the ancient history of the world, can be called the master of Greek philosophy. He was a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander. In 335 BC, he founded a school called Lyceum in Athens, which was called the Peripatetic School. Marx once called Aristotle the most knowledgeable figure among ancient Greek philosophers, and Engels called him "the ancient Hegel." An encyclopedic scientist, he contributed to nearly every discipline. He wrote on ethics, metaphysics, psychology, economics, theology, politics, rhetoric, natural science, education, poetry, customs, and Athenian law. Aristotle's writings formed the first extensive system of Western philosophy, encompassing ethics, aesthetics, logic and science, politics and metaphysics.
