Abstract
Abstract: This introduction offers a brief overview of the scholarly landscape on rhetoric and medicine from antiquity to early modern times. It argues that the relationships between rhetoric and medicine offer a field of study quite distinct from the rhetoric of science, and that they can be understood and approached from multiple angles. It then describes the contents of the papers in relation with the argument.
期刊介绍:
Language holds a dual identity: it is both an art as well as a science, with each word expressing a unique meaning. And when words are arranged with specific purpose to persuade, or to communicate ideologies, language acquires yet another facet of identity--that of rhetoric. Rhetorica, published quarterly for the International Society for the History of Rhetoric, includes articles, book reviews and bibliographies that examine the theory and practice of rhetoric in all periods and languages and their relationship with poetics, philosophy, religion and law. The official languages of the Society, and of the journal, are English, French, German, Italian, Latin, and Spanish, with articles and features corresponding.
