商品简介 Rhetoric thoroughly infused the world and literature of Graeco-Roman antiquity. This Companion provides a comprehensive overview of rhetorical theory and practice in that world, from Homer to early Christianity, accessible to students and non-specialists, whether within classics or from other periods and disciplines. Its basic premise is that rhetoric is less a discrete object to be grasped and mastered than a hotly contested set of practices that include disputes over the very definition of rhetoric itself. Standard treatments of ancient oratory tend to take it too much in its own terms and to isolate it unduly from other social and cultural concerns. This volume provides an overview of the shape and scope of the problems while also identifying core themes and propositions: for example, persuasion, virtue, and public life are virtual constants. But they mix and mingle differently, and the contents designated by each of these terms can also shift.修辞学彻底融入了古代希腊罗马的世界和文学。这本书全面概述了那个世界的修辞理论和实践,从荷马到早期基督教,无论是经典著作还是其他时期和学科的学生和非专业人士都可以理解。其基本前提是,修辞与其说是一个需要把握和掌握的离散对象,不如说是一系列备受争议的实践,其中包括对修辞本身定义的争论。对古代演讲的标准处理倾向于过多地从其本身的角度来看待它,并将其与其他社会和文化问题过分地隔离开来。本书概述了问题的形式和范围,同时也确定了核心主题和命题:例如,说服、美德和公共生活是虚拟的常数。但它们的混合和混合方式不同,并且每个术语指定的内容也可能发生变化。
