Abstract
A modern Platonic idealist and political conservative, Richard Weaver saw true rhetoric in the light of values and courses of action. His theory of rhetoric stressed invention, style, and argumentation, elements capable of leading men to a clearer vision of themselves in relation to the ultimate good. Though provocative, his insights stimulated modern academic interests in the practical values of classical rhetoric.Keywords
