The term "formally indicating rhetorical" is "elliptically cribbed" from Heidegger's discussion of "formally indicating the historical," in the 1920-21 course "Introduction to the Phenomenology of Religion."

Perelman's universal audience: One perspective

The concept is applied to the process of invention where it serves as a “check” on the reasonableness of the arguments being constructed.

The Limits of Narrative: Truth Aspiring Discourse in the Bible

Rhetorica, 1992

The rabbis of the Talmud and those who followed them were not known for their great oratory. It was rather their hermeneutical skUl that marked them as worth listening to. Their "eloquence" was grounded in the strength of their interpretations of the legal and narrative portions of the Torah. FoUowing this heuristic eue, we might speculate as to whether the Bible itself also achieves some measure of its eloquence through the acuity of its interpretive insights. That is, might not the rhetorical power of the Bible also Ue, at least in some part, in the force of its hermeneutical performance as displayed in the text? This relationship between rhetoric and hermeneutics, of course, is explidtly featured in philosophical discourse. We find a philosophical text compeUing in large part because we are im-

Aristotle's Rhetoric as Ontology: A Heideggerian Reading

Soulevant la question philosophique par excellence, a savoir celle de la signification de l'etre, l'A. montre que Heidegger repere le statut de l'ontologie dans la situation hermeneutique concrete qui caracterise la phenomenologie de la parole quotidienne comme activite rheorique du Dasein. Examinant le lien que Heidegger etablit entre son concept de projection et sa conceptualisation de l'ontologie fondamentale d'Aristote dans «Etre et temps», l'A. conclut au passage d'une ontologie du voir et de l'interpretation a une phenomenologie de la parole au sein de la dynamique rhetorique qui apparait comme la condition a priori de l'existence

Localisant la recherche phenomenologique de Heidegger au sein de sa parole concrete, l'A. montre que la phenomenologie rhetorique que Heidegger developpe dans son exegese de Parmenide est incomplete au regard de l'appel de l'Etre, en ce sens qu'elle n'en fournit que des indications formelles au sein d'une definition du dire comme monstration

Because it is inherently persuasive, and because it became the first principle of arguments for justifying hierarchy, the Biblical story of creation should be

Using Aristotle's definition of rhetoric in Book One of The Rhetoric, I show how this hermeneutic achieves ontological reach when filtered through persuasive speech using Aristotle's "method."

I put the 1924 course in conversation with Aristotle's "Rhetoric." The yield is an ontology based on Aristotle's definition of rhetoric as "an ability in each particular case to to see the available means of persuasion.

Certain issues come to the fore because of Heidegger's presumption of a kind of sacred knowledge. While his voice is sometimes prophetic, I find something even starker at play.
