Biography

Aristotle (384-322 BCE), student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great, was a Greek philosopher. He wrote many books on politics, ethics, physics, metaphysics, logic, poetry, and, most importantly for the purposes of rhetorical theory, rhetoric. Aristotle's Rhetoric is one of the most recent documents that treats the subject as a legitimate discipline and art, or in Aristotle's words, a "techne." Aristotle also provided the world's first definition of rhetoric as "the art of persuasion."
