Is Ethically Neutral Rhetoric a Real Option for Plato?
Original language description
Plato presents the result of the first part of the Gorgias as an aporia (460c–461a). Rhetoric as represented by Gorgias either includes knowledge and makes its user responsible for its use or does neither of these. This paper claims that Plato’s aim in this part is twofold: to make as strong an argument as possible that rhetoric can be morally neutral and to show the shortcomings of that argument. It is equally important to see Plato’s contribution to the concept of rhetoric’s neutrality and his reasons to oppose this concept. The latter include a necessary relation of speaking to its subject.
