Abstract
In my 3,400-word essay, I discuss Joe Sachs' book Plato: Gorgias and Aristotle: Rhetoric (Focus Philosophical Library/ Hackett Publishing, 2009), concentrating primarily on his perceptive introduction (pages 1-27) and glossary (pages 285-290). As I explain in the essay, I have good reason to think that Joe Sachs is not familiar with Walter J. Ong's account of dialectic (also known as logic) in Western cultural history in his all-important book Ramus, Method, and the Decay of Dialogue: From the Art of Discourse to the Art of Reason (Harvard University Press, 1958; reissued by the University of Chicago Press, 2004). Nevertheless, Joe Sachs' discussion of civic rhetoric and philosophical dialectic could provide people who might be interested in studying Ong's all-important book with an informed orientation to philosophical dialectic and civic rhetoric.
