Teaching Rhetoric as Part of Political Science
In democracies, we the people make many decisions through arguments and attempts at persuasion. Leaders, those ambitious to become leaders, leaders of opinion, and even ordinary citizens try to make arguments to influence everything from elections to laws to convictions and acquittals. Rhetoric is this activity of persuasion, and understanding what rhetoric is (and how it works) might be an important topic of political science - but is it? The question has been debated since the days of Socrates.
