ANDRADE, Erika Natacha Fernandes de and CUNHA, Marcus Vinicius da. Language and linguistic agreements in Aristotle: contributions to an artistic, poetic, and rhetorical education. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2016, vol.30, suppl., pp.243-268. ISSN 1982-596x. https://doi.org/10.14393/REVEDFIL.issn.0102-6801.v30nEspeciala2016-p243a268.
Affiliated to the movement of revision of the Aristotelian philosophy initiated in the 20th century, and following one of the lines of inquiry in the Rhetoric and Argumentation in Education Research Group (USP/CNPq), this text discusses the notions of language and of linguistic agreements in Aristotle’s discourse. Emphasizing the essentiality of the logos to actualize a psyche which is able to conduct collective bargaining and to elaborate virtuous internal speeches, Aristotle places education within an artistic, poetic, and rhetorical universe. The Aristotelian educational project offers strength and power to human beings, aiming at improving personal experience in community and at consolidating individual happiness, which is inseparable from the construction of the ideal polis.
