Aristotelian Rhetorical Argumentation Theory The rhetorical argumentation Al-Tahir bin Yahya Aristotelian argumentation theory Rhetorical argumentation This work takes an essentialist approach to a subject that has attracted Arab criticism for the last three decades, which is the subject of argumentation. The reason for this, as we estimate, is what can be called the "rhetorical turn" within the scope of logical and argumentative studies, which have experienced a significant transformation and flourishing in Francophone and Anglophone circles since the late fifties of the last century. However, it is difficult, if not impossible, to understand the modern theory of argumentation in its deep foundations and precise components unless we connect it to its distant roots, which go back to the Aristotelian theory of argumentation. Perhaps the best entry point to define this theory is to specify that it is multi-disciplinary and multi-topic, diverse in means and tools, and varied in goals and objectives. Nevertheless, many intersections exist among the various standard disciplines representing argumentative speech, which are: dialectic, sophistry, and rhetoric. The argumentative issue at Aristotle was distributed among three main classifications: the book of Topics (= dialectic) first, the book of "Socratic Sophistry" second, and the book of "Rhetoric" third. Based on this, we will work in three independent and sequential works to study "rhetorical argumentation," then "dialectical argumentation," and finally "sophistic or fallacious argumentation," focusing on what distinguishes these different argumentative patterns in two levels: the level of persuasive and inferential means used in each, and the level of topics and issues they revolve around, oscillating between the theoretical and practical nature on the one hand, and between the persuasive function and the fallacious function on the other.
