The Rhetorical Character of Ethics Based on Aristotle
Keywords:
rethorics, ethics, AristotleAbstract
The objective of this study is to clarify how and why ethics can make use of rhetoric. To do so, it takes up the philosophy of Aristotle, which contains a certain harmony among the concepts of dialectic, rhetoric and ethics, though the analysis focuses primarily on the latter two concepts in an attempt to uncover the relationship between them in Aristotelian philosophy. The thesis is that a model such as the one contained in Aristotelian philosophy makes a union of these two instances possible, without one being lost in the search for the other. Moreover, it allows us to understand why Aristotle’s ethics is not apodictic but, rather, one that is attentive to context; that is, community.
