Indhold: The purpose of the seminar is to read and analyse Aristotle’s approach to human emotions in the second book of Aristotle’s Rhetorica; to contrast the Aristotelian approach with some of the representations of emotions in classical Greek literature (the texts will be chosen with the students); to test the thesis that for Aristotle human emotions are rational responses to specific social situations; and to analyse how this approach to emotions can be exploited in the appeal to emotions with speech (e.g. forensic rhetoric, deliberative rhetoric, etc.). We will focus on the emotions of anger, shame, fear and pity.
Litteratur: Primary: Aristotle’s Rhetoric: Selected passages from book II: (anger, 1377b1 – 1378a29; shame, 1383b11 – 1385a15; fear, 1382a20 – 1383b11; pity, 1385b11 – 1386b7; morals, 1388b31 – 1391a19). Selected texts from classical Greek literature to be chosen with the students.
