== Biography ==

Aristotle (384-322 BCE), student of [[Plato]] and teacher of Alexander the Great, was a Greek philosopher. He lived in Athens for most or all of his life and wrote books on politics, ethics, physics, metaphysics, logic, poetry, and, most importantly for the purposes of rhetorical theory, rhetoric. Aristotle's [[Aristotle, Rhetoric | ''Rhetoric'']] is one of the oldest documents that treats the subject as a legitimate discipline and art, or in Aristotle's words, a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Techne "techne."] Aristotle also provided the world's first definition of rhetoric as "the art of persuasion."

After the fall of Rome, the Aristotelian worldview became so widespread throughout the West that to challenge his findings could have been considered heresy -- in fact it was in the case of Galileo. It could even be argued that the only philosopher that could perhaps match Aristotle's influence would be his teacher [[Plato]]. <ref>http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/aristotle/</ref>

Aristotle, Poetics

Chloe T.: /* Brief Summary */

== Brief Summary ==
A complete translation of the ''Poetics'' can be found [http://libertyonline.hypermall.com/Aristotle/Poetics.html here.]

Aristotle's ''Poetics'', written around 350 BCE, consists of 26 surviving chapters focusing mainly on epics and tragedies (his work on comedy has sadly been lost).<ref>[http://classics.mit.edu/Aristotle/poetics.html ''Poetics'']</ref> Aristotle distinguishes between rhetoric and poetry by claiming that "Socratic dialogues" (dialectic or rhetorical discourse) cannot rightly be compared with poetry. The only real connection is that they both use language. He goes on to say, rather beautifully, that it's "not the [use of language] that makes the poet, but the verse that entitles them all to the name."

Aristotle defined tragic and epic poems by the same general categories: simple, complex (or ironic), ethical, and passionate (or "pathetic"). He also details the six essential elements of tragedy: plot, character, thought, diction, spectacle, and song, with plot being the most important element -- the "soul" of the tragic poem. Next, he outlined the four essential qualities the protagonist of any good poem will have. According to Aristotle, a true hero will have a strong moral sense and purpose; a hero will be valiant and brave; a hero will be somewhat realistic in his or her abilities; and a hero will be consistent in his or her decisions and actions.

== New Rhetorics ==

[[Donald C. Bryant]], 1905-1987: [[definitions of rhetoric]]

[[Kenneth Burke]], 1897-1993: [[Dramatistic Pentad]] (act, scene, agent, agency, purpose), [[Definition of Man]] as symbol-using animal

[http://4341.quinnwarnick.com/wiki/Chaim_Perelman Chaim Perelman], 1912-1984: [[New Rhetorics]]

== Pedagogical Studies ==

More a movement than a single theory, these authors have examined the way we teach rhetoric, composition, and research. The pedagogical movements listed here draw heavily from the principles of cognitive rhetoric, calling for an in-depth study of the processes of writing and research. These pedagogical models all hold that the subject matter in question, be it composition, research, or rhetorical practices, can be taught, codified, and improved upon with careful practice and consideration. They further maintain that the basic survey courses offered (think Composition I) do not adequately convey the ''techne'' required to master the subject at hand.

[[Michel Foucault]], 1926-1984: [[author-function]]

== Rogerian Rhetoric ==

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogerian_argument Rogerian Argument]

Rogerian rhetoric is derived from the theories of Carl Rogers. Rogers originally developed his ideas as a method of therapy that was centered around understanding the person being treated. Initially called non-directive therapy, this system became the foundation for Rogers' broader ideas of the self and learning. These ideas have been applied across disciplines, heavily influencing one branch of rhetorical studies.

Rogerian rhetoric then, is the idea that persuasion is most effective when the positions on all side of the argument are understood, and a connection is made between the people involved. Terms such as non-combative and person-centered are some of the theory's watch-words.

Rogerian rhetoric typically consists of 4 main stages:
# An introduction to the problem and a demonstration that the opponent's position is understood.
# A statement of the contexts in which the opponent's position may be valid.
# A statement of the writer's position, including the contexts in which it is valid.
# A statement of how the opponent's position would benefit if he were to adopt elements of the writer's position. If the writer can show that the positions complement each other, that each supplies what the other lacks, so much the better (Brent)

[[Douglas Brent]]: [[Rogerian Rhetoric as an alternative to Traditional Rhetoric]]

== Semiotics ==

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiotics Semiotics]

Originally developed by Ferdinand de Saussure as a part of the framework for structural linguistics, Semiotics is the field of study devoted to [[wikipedia:Sign_(semiotics)|sign]] and communication. Semiotics holds that meaning is created and conveyed through linguistic sign. Related works examine the relationship between signified and signifier, how signs fit into larger works, and how signs influence and change the people that use them.

[[Mikhail Bakhtin]], 1895-1975: [[Polyphony]], [[Unfinalizability]], [[Carnival and Grotesque]], [[Chronotope]], [[Heteroglossia]] ("The Dialogic Imagination"), [[Speech genres]]

[[Roland Barthes]], 1915-1980: author and scriptor, neutral and novelistic writing

[[Ferdinand de Saussure]], 1857-1913: [[signified and signifier are core of semiotics]]

== Sophism ==

From Wikipedia, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophism "Sophism"]

"Sophism in the modern definition is a specious argument used for deceiving someone. In ancient Greece, sophists were a category of teachers who specialized in using the tools of philosophy and rhetoric for the purpose of teaching arete — excellence, or virtue — predominantly to young statesmen and nobility. The practice of charging money for education and providing wisdom only to those who could pay led to the condemnations made by Socrates, through [[Plato]] in his Dialogues, as well as Xenophon's Memorabilia. Through works such as these, Sophists were portrayed as "specious" or "deceptive," hence the modern meaning of the term."

== 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."

== 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."

Chloe T.:

I'm Chloe, and I'm currently an undergrad at St. Edward's University pursuing BAs in English Writing and Rhetoric as well as Mathematics.

Here is a link to an online version of Aristotle's Poetics.
There are only 26 surviving chapters of the poetics, and they focus mainly on epics and tragedies (his work on comedy has sadly been lost). Aristotle distinguishes between rhetoric and poetry, claiming that "Socratic dialogues" cannot rightly be compared with poetry, because their only real connection is that they both use language. He goes on to say, rather beautifully, that it's "not the [use of language] that makes the poet, but the verse that entitles them all to the name."

Aristotle, student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great, was a Greek philosopher from 384-322 BCE. Aristotle wrote books on politics, ethics, physics, metaphysics, logic, poetry, and, most importantly for our purposes, 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."

Chloe T.: /* Brief Summary */

== Brief Summary ==
Here is a link to an online version of [http://libertyonline.hypermall.com/Aristotle/Poetics.html Aristotle's ''Poetics.]

There are only 26 surviving chapters of the poetics, and they focus mainly on epics and tragedies (his work on comedy has sadly been lost). Aristotle distinguishes between rhetoric and poetry, claiming that "Socratic dialogues" cannot rightly be compared with poetry, because their only real connection is that they both use language. He goes on to say, rather beautifully, that it's "not the [use of language] that makes the poet, but the verse that entitles them all to the name."

== Applications of Theory ==

This page is going to briefly outline the Poetics. The book is divided into several "books" that will each be briefly summarized here.
