Abstract
Plato is often understood to be merely an outspoken critic of rhetoric and Aristotle a systematizer of rhetoric. The reality is more complex. Plato’s criticism is not of rhetoric per se but of a particular (Sophistic) kind of rhetoric; his work actually evidences a keen desire to enshrine a true rhetoric, one that will enable instruction in truth to happen. Nor is Aristotle a critic of Plato; rather, Aristotle provides a systematic approach to political discourse and human language as it is in practice. Aristotle thus establishes both the foundations for analysis of democratic political discourse and the analytical groundwork for the much later analysis of “ordinary language.”
Résumé
Platon est souvent compris comme un critique de la rhétorique, tandis qu’Aristote comme systématiseur de la rhétorique. La réalité est plus complexe. La critique de Platon ne porte pas sur la rhétorique en soi mais sur la rhétorique sophistique ; son travail témoigne en réalité d’un désir ardent de fonder une vraie rhétorique comme moyen de pouvoir enseigner la vérité. Aristote n’est pas non plus un critique de Platon. Il propose plutôt une approche systématique du discours politique et du langage humain tel qu’ils sont dans la pratique. Aristote établit ainsi à la fois les bases de l’analyse du discours politique démocratique et les bases analytiques pour le « langage ordinaire ».
