The Dean decides
- The Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology will temporarily transfer to distance teaching and examination by using the online platform Canvas or the tool Zoom. Exceptions are possible with consideration to e.g. group sizes. The change will occur starting March 18 2020 and will persist until the recommendations relating to the corona epidemic change.
The focus is on study of canonical texts in the subject. The course primarily deals with classical rhetoric up to and including the Renaissance. Special emphasis is placed on the sophists and Plato’s objections to rhetoric, the rhetorical system of Aristotle, Roman rhetoric represented by Cicero and Quintilian and the rhetoric of Western Christianity.
