Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Handbuch Rhetorik und Philosophie

Abstract

The controversial relation between philosophy and rhetoric depends on the assessment of speech. As long as the representative function and the objective of truth have a dominating role, the question, who says something to others and how, is placed behind the question what someone says. A dialogue reigned by one sole logos tends to become a monologue with shifting roles. This view changes, if the dialogue presents itself as a polyphonic speech, as illustrated by Bachtin in his novel theory. The rhetoric develops an individual weight within philosophical thinking as soon as the Other also shapes the speech as an addressee and as an addresser, when one’s own speech is understood as an answer to external appeals, and when all speaking comes by hearsay. Response logic, as proposed in responsive phenomenology, carries moments such as the asymmetry between myself and the others, the singularity of speech events, the inevitability of response, the time shift between appeal and answer, as well as the indispensable role of a third party equaling the unequal. Response scenes such as greeting, confession or lament reveal an ethical potential of bodied speech below the threshold of norms.
