Pivotal Issues and Norms in Rhetorical Theories of Argumentation

  • Chapter
Dialectic and Rhetoric

Part of the book series: Argumentation Library ((ARGA,volume 6))

Abstract

Historically, traditions of rhetorical art and those of dialectic have been charted by scholars somewhat wary of the view each has of its acknowledged counterpart among the arts of discourse. Today, students of argumentation, contemporary heirs of these venerable traditions, have undertaken a congenial reconsideration of the relationships between their respective arts. Prompted in part by Twentieth Century advances in the philosophy of language which bridge their ancient domains, contemporary rhetoricians and dialecticians converse with a renewed understanding that major concerns of each cannot be resolved independent of matters traditionally treated by its counterpart.
