This episode investigates the concept of rhetoric, an essential skill of speaking aimed at eliciting an emotional response. We look at how rhetoric is employed in modern media & politics - juxtaposing this with how the art of speaking was viewed in Athenian society.

 

In the last segment, we also examine some excerpts from the Phaedrus - demonstrating how Socrates deals with arguments which are merely rhetorical.
