summary:
This lecture will reflect on the place of Rhetoric within Communication Theory, as well as the chiaroscuro of its influence in the postmodern Philosophy heir of deconstruction. In order to achieve this purpose, some parallels are drawn that relate the postmodern subjectivist drift -rooted in the rise of the deconstructive paradigm- with the renewed and repeated use of Rhetoric in the first decades of the 21st century. The hypothesis to be verified is that the irruption of such a drift in the contemporary Philosophy is the cause of the resurgence of Rhetoric in the most varied fields of knowledge: juridical, political and theological. It then advocates the re-foundation of Rhetoric, recovering the famous affirmation of Socrates in the Platonic Gorgias: "that it is necessary to flee from all flattery, that of oneself and that of others, be they many or few, and that one should always use Rhetoric and all other actions in favor of justice" (Gorgias, 527c).
