THE ORATORY ABILITY ED THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ACTING IN THE ANCIENT GREECE THROUGH THE WORKS OF ARISTOTLE
Dario Saftich
Abstract
In ancient Greece the oratory ability was very important. In a situation of a sort of democracy oratory was primary factor in political and judicial life. That knew very well the philosophers, especially the sophists. During the centuries oratory was not so important as in the ancient Greece. Today, in democracy, the oratory ability, or rhetoric, can be again very interesting.
Unfortunately, in schools writting in the most important thing, and oratory is mostly neglected. The best solution is to return to greek, classic roots, especially to Aristotle, whose two fundamental works are dedicate to acting and rethoric. Acting can help today school to promote rethoric or oratory ability.
