Descrizione: Philosophy combined with rhetoric offers a consolation in a time of crisis that politics cannot achieve. Political speech is guided by ideology. Philosophical speech is guided by ideas. It is the ideas that offer perspective that is so much needed in difficult and dangerous times. I use the term “rhetorical philosophy” in the sense put forth by Ernesto Grassi in his seminal work, Rhetoric as Philosophy. Grassi claims, “‘Rhetoric’ is not, nor can it be the art, the technique of an exterior persuasion; it is rather the speech which is the basis of the rational thought” [Author] Quotes Tusculan Disputations
