| Classical Origins of Public Speaking Slide Presentations by You May 22, 2007 Gorgias &
Protagoras Gorgias nKnown for: ¡Skepticism about truth & knowledge ¡Verbal artistry 3 arguments on TRUTH nTruth is divine & infinite nIf truth does exist in this way, it is impossible for humans to know it nSo if we cannot know truth, we can’t possibly communicate about it Similar to Existentialists nPondered about the meaninglessness of our lives nBut in a positive way Power of words nExample: “We must be willing to die to defend freedom. nCan have herotic potential or can betray us. Protagoras n“Man is the measure of all things” nTruth is unknowable and meaning is a construction of our symbols nRefers to man’s ability to create a world of values and judgements problem nIf truth is manmade through communication, then it is also an unsure and questionable product nConstantly changing
Solution nSuggested debate nIt tests all claims to truth against competing claims in the open before audiences nCan improve our thinking nClaims that survive challenges are trust-worthy critics nHeretic – debates about religion nSocrates claimed he emphasized winning debate over the actual truth value nSophists said that prevailing point was the truth, debate was the disciplined process by which truth was discovered students nEnjoyed his teaching nExciting and vivid nCaution and tolerance nChoices not simple nBoth sides have their own versions of truth, we choose which side Questioning truth nWe become indecisive nDebate only shows two sides of an argument
Still used today nDespite controversy, it is in our democratic system of government nHelps us manage our responsibilities of freedom in a productive way Thrasymachus Philosophy Truth, as we known it, cannot be truly known Thrasymachus §Countered with an ethical response §Instead of focusing on divining truth, people ought to work on increasing their personal power, which will ultimately raise their quality of life. How to use T’s approach §Topic doesn’t matter, it is all in the presentation
§Use your words to make an impact T’s suggestions: §Pleasing rhythm to voice §“Sounding” confident & knowledgeable §Commanding voice §Dramatic gestures §Engage your audience’s emotions T’s Contribution §Trope §Powerful figure of speech that gives uniqueness and individuality to a speech §Makes things more easily understood, visualized, and remembered §Ultimately show the creativity of the speaker and how they can impact others Examples of Trope §Metaphors §Similies §Synecdoche §“The tongue is more powerful than the arm.” §Illustrates power of spoken word in comparison to physical strength Isocrates §Nicknamed “old man eloquent” §Found loftier alternative to central focus of philosophy §His idea was to create an ideal society among the greeks Isocrates’ Method §Isocrates wished to build an ideal society among his beloved Greeks §“because there has been implanted in us the power to persuade each other and to make clear to each other whatever we desire, not only have we escaped the life of the wild beasts, but we have come together and founded cities and made laws and invented arts; and, generally speaking, there is no institution devised by man which the power of speech has not helped us to establish”
§Isocrates built the most influential school of his day §Screened his students with respect to natural ability §His student would get a liberal arts education which include: §Knowledge of Greek culture §Theories of writing and speaking §Write themes applying the principles §He also focused on: §presentational skills §Drilling them until the idea of addressing the difficult Greek audiences would hold no terror for the audiences §Real life experience: the marketplace to present “recital” speeches before live audiences Aristotle and Plato “Plato observed people in general do not want to be
improved, Aristotle •Work influenced many people –Cicero •Invention, Arrangement, Style, Memory, Delivery –Quintilian •Ethos •“Good man skilled in speaking –St. Augustine •Conversion of souls –Middle Ages •Center of Liberal Arts Education
Plato •Attractive •Popular •Destined to play part in Politics –Rejects politics (Gorgias) and goes into Philosophy –Depressing conclusions about public communication Plato…again •Beliefs about People –Incapability of making good decisions –Resent and reject those who try to force them to make decisions •Democratic Elitist Posture –Freedom of speech inconceivable –People must be controlled –Power reserved for few Plato…yet again •More noble speech when informed by philosophy and leads people to knowledge. (Phaedrus) •Ideal love relationship •“At the heart of rhetoric is an understanding of people, of what they know, and are capable of knowing, and how to move them from one state to another.”
Classical Origins By Daniel and Colleen Classical Origins Conversation •Developed in small tribal communities •Allows for: –Exchange and build on their ideas –Interpret the experiences of the day and learn from them –Plan for the future –Settle Disputes –Tell Stories
Types of Speech •Forensic Speech –Deals with judgments of past behavior in search of justice •Deliberative Speech –Debates plans for future actions •Ceremonial Speech –Celebrates the actions, traditions and values of group life We are Social Beings! •If we were not meant to rely on each other we would have been built more self-sufficiently –Our Eyes •Survival –Community Life •This helped to lead to a highly developed form of communication
Communication Symbol •Greatest Technology we ever devised •Allows us to talk about things when they are not actually present •Communication Symbols are abstract ideas that stand for things such as: –Objects –Actions –Qualities –Relationships –Connections –When combined these form •Language Uses of Language •Control the environment •Makes intelligence effective •Allows us to signal each other •Symbolic Communication –Abstract –Vital to leadership Developing the Theory of Public Communication •Public speaking arose as a natural response to needs •Much of the Theory developed in Greece –Need for a good system of communication because of the vast mountains separating the people –Iliad and Odyssey •Rhetorical Theory –The quest to understand the power and mystery of communication –Motive •Desire to power the harness of the communication symbol so that it might be more productive and useful to society •Control their (Greeks) destiny •Reach their dreams Greek Developments •Trial By Jury •Self Government –Personal Participation The following is from Mo and Susan:
