Beschreibung

Speaking for the Polis considers Isocrates educational program from the perspective of rhetorical theory and explores its relation to sociopolitical practices. Illumining Isocrates efforts to reformulate sophistic conceptions of rhetoric on the basis of the intellectual and political debates of his times, Poulakos contends that the father of humanistic studies and rival educator of Plato crafted a version of rhetoric that gave the art an important new role in the ethical and political activities of Athens. Poulakos demonstrates how Isocrates adopted, transformed, and put to new tasks Protagorean and Gorgianic notions of rhetoric and how he used rhetoric to resolve tensions between political equality and social inequality.
