In the Spring of 2012, I wrote the Chaim Perelman page, which includes the small intro blurb, the Biography, the New Rhetoric, Additional Works, Further Readings, and Reference sections. There is not very much information out there about Perelman's early life, so much of the information is limited to his Jewish faith and education.

I tried my best to give a just brief overview of The New Rhetoric and his concept of the universal audience since there is already a page dedicated to a summary. I hope the new author page gives rhetoric students an inside look into Perelman's motivations behind The New Rhetoric since historic events and spiritual beliefs shaped his argument. I believe it's important to learn about the context in which something was written or created in order to gain a complete understanding of its purpose and significance.
