- Title
The Varied Rhetorics of International Relations.
- Authors
Oliver, Robert T.
- Abstract
This article focuses on the rhetorics of international relations. Whatever a man's race or religion may be, one can melt away the differences and find the basic humanity everyone has in common. Personality is surely as much a factor of American culture as it is of its biologic inheritance. Both the old and the new rhetoric are in some ways precise and in some ways extremely diffuse and inclusive. Both insist that rhetoric is a mode of thinking, and especially a mode of influencing the ways in which other people think. Aristotle was concerned with what the speaker himself says and does. The new rhetoricians axe concerned with the whole pattem of influences that converge upon the communicative act from the totality of the social situation.
