Having discussed some political and philosophical stakes of the
Greeks’ invention of the rhetorical art, the present research aims to
show the great originality of Aristotle’s treatise in comparison to his
precursors. Subsequently, the article illustrates the amazing scientific
relevance of Aristotle’s work for the French‑speaking
world in the past
half a century. Finally, the paper poses the question whether its underlying
concepts can nowadays be of any significance from a practical point
of view.
