About this course

This course is intended to introduce students to the study of the theory and practice of rhetoric. We will begin with a study of the classic statements of rhetoric in Plato and Aristotle--both what it is and what its potential virtues and vices, strengths and weaknesses may be. Much of the rest of the course will be devoted to an analysis of actual political speeches, ancient and modern, grouped more or less thematically.
