Se a história é a história das condições do poder, então a história é a história dos usos e abusos da retórica que sustenta o poder. A luta política talvez seja exclusivamente retórica e com isso a força seria apenas um complemento posterior, pois toda demonstração de força valeria apenas por seu efeito retórico de aumento, manutenção ou perda de poder". Ao formular nesses termos o problema da ordem (e da desordem) social, Ricardo Monteagudo nos faz entender que o tema da linguagem é, de fato, um lugar privilegiado para discutirmos a simbiose entre retórica e política na obra de J.-J. Rousseau. Tendo como pano de fundo um quadro histórico da retórica, dos autores da Antiguidade até Perelman e Todorov, a tese deste livro pode ser assim enunciada: no âmbito dos escritos políticos do filósofo genebrino, em particular no Discurso sobre a origem da desigualdade e no Contrato social, as condições de possibilidade das relações civis são estabelecidas, tanto para o bem quanto para o mal, pelo uso retórico da linguagem. Longe de se limitar a uma mera exegese acadêmica de textos datados, este trabalho se apresenta a nós, leitores do século XXI, como prova cabal de que certas investigações de Rousseau acerca do discurso político permanecem atualíssimas. Monteagudo se inscreve dessa maneira numa linhagem bibliográfica que, no Brasil, remonta às análises memoráveis de Bento Prado Jr. e Luiz Roberto Salinas Fortes sobre o assunto.

"This book explores the history of rhetorical thought and examines the gradual association of different aspects of rhetorical theory with two outstanding fourth-century BCE writers: Lysias and Isocrates. It highlights the parallel development of the rhetorical tradition that became understood, on the one hand, as a domain of style and persuasive speech, associated with the figure of Lysias, and, on the other, as a kind of philosophical enterprise which makes significant demands on moral and political education in antiquity, epitomized in the work of Isocrates. There are two pivotal moments in which the two rhetoricians were pitted against each other as representatives of different modes of cultural discourse: Athens in the fourth century BCE, as memorably portrayed in Plato's Phaedrus, and Rome in the first century BCE when Dionysius of Halicarnassus proposes to create from the united Lysianic and Isocratean rhetoric the foundation for the ancient rhetorical tradition"-- Provided by publisher.

"This volume is the first to systematically analyze ancient narrative theory in German. The guiding principle is the theory that, although ancient authors like Aristotle were the forerunners of the modern categories of narrative theories, many concepts have been reinterpreted in the course of their reception. It is against this backdrop that this monograph identifies the specific features of ancient narrative theory"-- Provided by Publisher.
