In times and societies like ours, where changes are drastic and alarming phenomena intensify, continuous reflection and reassessment of our educational approaches are required in order to convey to the younger generations principles and values intertwined with our culture, that is, education.
This book introduces us to rhetorical exercises (preparatory exercises in rhetoric), which served precisely as pedagogical guides for the Greeks from the Hellenistic era until the fall of Byzantium. Remarkably, their dissemination was extensive in Western Europe, where we find them being applied until the mid-19th century.
Today, we rediscover the potential of this intellectual training, which guided teenagers from handling myth to supporting a bill, enriching their knowledge, improving their language expression, and teaching them how to express their feelings and control their argumentation.
The principles of this education, which is simultaneously linguistic, educational, and political, are reinforced by modern neurological pedagogy and are easily adaptable to new means of information and communication. The author of this small but fascinating and playful manual, Pierre Shirom, an honorable man of our times, aims to reveal to us the forgotten art of ancient rhetorical education, which is so fruitful for everyone and for all eras.
