Journal #5: Intro to Rhetoric

Presentation transcript:

Corax and Tisias are reputedly the inventors of the art of rhetoric. Tisias contracts to pay Corax for instruction in rhetoric. Corax instructs Tisias in rhetoric. Tisias refuses to pay. Corax sues Tisias in court for payment.

Tisias's argument – If I win, I do not need to pay. – If I lose, I should not have to pay. For if I lose, it proves that Corax's instruction is worthless. Corax's argument –If I win, Tisias must pay. –If I lose, T isias should have to pay. For if I lose, it proves that I have taught Tisias well.

What the case of Corax and Tisias tells us about issues in rhetorical theory Language is ambiguous. Knowledge is constructed by human beings. There are at least two sides in every case— often more. Persuasion does not deal in certainties but rather probabilities. The need for action supercedes the need for absolute truth.
