Mots-clès: Rhétorique - Retorica - Rhetorics
Description: My goal with this article is to present the elements involved in Cicero’s criticism of Stoic rhetoric. First, I will present the rhetoric of the Stoics based on the testimonies we have left on these philosophers. Soon after, I will expose Cicero’s criticisms of the Stoics. Next, I will argue that Cicero’s criticisms arise because his proposal with rhetoric is different from the Stoics’ proposal. Due to this difference, it is necessary to understand that the Stoics, on the other hand, also had motives to defend their vision of rhetoric in face of Ciceronian criticism. [Luz]
