Progymnasmata--an answer for today's rhetorical pedagogy?
Abstract
The ancient preliminary rhetorical exercises, called the progymnasmata, are possibly not only a contribution to writing education, but also to our aim for epistemic reflections among our students. They could be received as an introduction to, and practical exercises in a more sophistic understanding of the relation between language and reality, and in a rhetorical vein, of the paradox that tells us that language and reality are totally separate entities, and yet indissoluble united; that we are masters of the paradox since it's up to us to choose the language by which we construct our reality.
