Mrs
Connie HELDER
(ES Bergen)
Description
Title: A good kind of rhetoric: Recovering the lost art of dialogue
Description: Is meaningful dialogue possible in a world governed by competing worldviews and personal truths? The rhetoric of the sophist seeks to convince without truth, while Platonic rhetoric sees the search for truth as an act of love. Can this ancient debate speak to the way we approach conflict and diversity in the 21st century?
Speaker: Connie Helder is a teacher of Philosophy and English at the European School Bergen
