Abstract
TINDALE, Christopher W.. Self-deliberation and the Strategy of the Pseudo-dialogue. Co-herencia [online]. 2020, vol.17, n.32, pp.159-178. ISSN 1794-5887. https://doi.org/10.17230/co-herencia.17.32.6.
The New Rhetoric identifies the self-deliberator as one of three main types of audience. But such a turn toward the self is at odds with studies of contemporary argumentation, particularly social argumentation. Argumentation takes place “out there”, modifying the environments in which audiences operate. Equally interesting is the use of self-deliberation as a rhetorical strategy. Arguing with oneself, especially when that self is distanced in some way from the individual involved, employs self-deliberation beyond the ends that Perelman assigned to it. In this paper, my goal is to explore the nature of the self-deliberator as an audience and self- deliberation as a rhetorical strategy employed in argumentation.
Keywords : Argument schemes; Booth; Descartes; rhetorical strategy; self-deliberation.
