This paper advances a version of the theory whereby logic had deep origins in democracy, by re-reading Gorgias' Encomium of Helen. Democracy, 'the government by debate', called political (and scientific) attention to the inferential abilities of citizens and to politicians' ability of taking advantage of them. Sophists, in particular, discovered that people's inferences follow constant repeatable forms, that these forms have impact on choices and decisions concerning public good, and then by dominating them you dominate politics in democracy. With the Encomium Gorgias launched these ideas, so laying the ground for Aristotle's science of deduction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
