Inspirando-se na rica tradi\u00e7\u00e3o ret\u00f3rica, recupera uma corrente mediterr\u00e2nica distinta \u2014 moldada por figuras como Is\u00f3crates, Quintiliano e Giambattista Vico \u2014 que oferece alternativas te\u00f3ricas convincentes. O livro defende que a democracia contempor\u00e2nea pode ser significativamente enriquecida por este legado. Explora as suas liga\u00e7\u00f5es a correntes da teoria pol\u00edtica que desafiaram a ci\u00eancia pol\u00edtica positivista, a sua resist\u00eancia a formas de propaganda t\u00edpicas de regimes tir\u00e2nicos e o seu ethos inclusivo, assente numa rever\u00eancia pela diferen\u00e7a \u2014 em resson\u00e2ncia com a no\u00e7\u00e3o de liberdade de movimento de Hannah Arendt, tanto no mundo como no pensamento. A perspectiva ret\u00f3rica aqui desenvolvida contribui para repensar \u00abo pol\u00edtico\u00bb, tal como concebido por Hannah Arendt e Sheldon Wolin, em oposi\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e0 concep\u00e7\u00e3o schmittiana recentemente reavivada no populismo contempor\u00e2neo. Ao faz\u00ea-lo, o livro destaca o potencial do pensamento ret\u00f3rico para renovar os princ\u00edpios da democracia radical face aos desafios actuais.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bio<\/strong>: V\u00edctor Alonso-Rocafort \u00e9 Professor Associado de Teoria Pol\u00edtica na Universidade Complutense de Madrid (UCM), Espanha.
