Description
The Legacy of Aristotelian Enthymeme provides a historical-logical analysis of Aristotle’s rhetorical syllogism, the enthymeme, through its Medieval and Renaissance interpretations.
Bringing together notions of credibility and proof, an international team of scholars highlight the fierce debates around this form of argumentation during two key periods for Aristotle’s beliefs. Reflecting on medieval and humanist thinkers, philosophers, poets and theologians, this volume joins up dialectical and rhetorical argumentation as key to the enthymeme’s interpretation and shows how the enthymeme was the source of a major interpretive conflict.
As a method for achieving the standards for proof and credibility that persist across diverse fields of study today including the law, politics, medicine and morality, this book takes in Latin and Persian interpretations of the enthymeme and casts contemporary argumentation in a new historical light.
