Rhetorik und Wahrheit - ein wichtiges Thema in Zeiten von Populismus, Fake News und Donald Trump, aber auch in Zeiten übertriebener Political Correctness und postmodernem Geschichten erzählen. Wie verhalten sich Wahrheit und Rhetorik zueinander? Welche Art der Rhetorik ist legitim und ab wann fangen Manipulation oder Demagogie an? Spannende Fragen - die aber nur zum Teil beantwortet werden. Die Autorin ist Professorin für klassische Philologie und das merkt man dem Buch an. In zwei Dritteln des Buches referiert sie - zweifelsohne beredt und informiert - die Bedeutung der Rhetorik in der Antike mit den Stationen Platon, Isokrates, Aristoteles, Cicero, Quintilian. Im nächsten Drittel wird - äusserst selektiv - die Restgeschichte behandelt, bevor am Schluss die angesprochenen Fragen angesprochen werden, allerdings nicht systematisch

Michael Oakeshott on Authority, Governance, and the State presents contributions on one of the most important British philosophers of the 20th century. These essays address unique and under-analyzed areas in the literature on Oakeshott: authority, governance, and the state. They draw on some of the earliest and least-explored works of Oakeshott, including his lectures at Cambridge and the London School of Economics and difficult-to-access essays and manuscripts. The essays are authored by a diverse set of emerging and established scholars from Europe, North America, and India. This authorial diversity is not only a testimony to the growing international interest in Oakeshott, but also to a plurality of perspectives and important new insights into the thought of Michael Oakeshott.
