WE SHOULD AVOID USING RHETORIC BECAUSE IT IS AN IMMORAL ACTIVITY THAT ENDS UP IN MANIPULATION AND DECEPTION.

Page 2: Plato rhetoric

“Medicine is an art, and attends to the nature and constitution of the patient, and has principles of action and reason in each case, cookery in attending upon pleasure never regards either the nature or reason

of that pleasure to which she devotes herself, but goes straight to her end, nor

ever considers or calculates anything, but works by experience and routine, and just preserves the recollection of what she has

usually done when producing pleasure.”

“Socrates: I am contented with the admission that rhetoric is of two sorts ; one, which is mere flattery and disgraceful declamation ; the other, which is noble and aims at the training and improvement of the souls of the citizens, and strives to say what is best, whether welcome or unwelcome, to the audience ; but have you ever known such a rhetoric ; or if you have, and can point out any rhetorician who is of this stamp, who is he?”

“Callicles: But, indeed, I am afraid that I cannot tell you of any such among the orators who are at present living.”

Page 7: Plato rhetoric

“To do injustice is more to be avoided than to suffer injustice, and that the

reality and not the appearance of virtue is to be followed above all things.”
