Sumario:An essay on rhetoric of ethics and cultural understanding from the viewpoint of Greek rhetorician Isocrates is presented. The author notes that English teacher and author James Kinneavy argued that the commitment to rhetoric of Isocrates will influence Greek philosophy and will shape thought and education. He cites that a symbiotic relationship between discourse and phronesis has been postulated by Isocrates. He tackles the claim of author Michael Cahn that the discourse of Isocrates reveals that he is an anti-rhetorician.
