Summary/Abstract: Book III of Aristotle's "Rhetoric" consists of 19 chapters and develops, in a first phase, various aspects regarding style, focusing on the oratorical action itself - pronuntiato and actio, although the latter is resumed strictly to declamation; further on, during the second phase, the constituent parts of the discourse are subjected to an elaborate analysis. Aristotle's systemic construction, based on the persuasive categories of Rhetoric, will represent the foundation of the New Rhetoric as a theory of argumentation, in the view of professor Chaïm Perelman and his assistant, Lucie Olbrecths-Tyteca, authors of the "Treatise on Argumentation" (Brussels, 1958).
