HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics.
Rhetoric may be defined as the faculty of observing in any given case the available means of persuasion.
Dating from the fourth century BCE, Art of Rhetoric continues to be regarded as the most important work on the art of persuasion. With the advent of democracy in Ancient Greece, public speaking became a vital tool to garner influence and shape the world. This famous treatise provided methods and observations of reasoning and debate.
From Aristotle, the grandfather of philosophy, student of Plato, and teacher of Alexander the Great, this practical guide serves as a practical manual and comprehensive introduction to this ancient art – for students of philosophy and for anyone looking to improve their skills of persuasion.
