The Art of Deception in the Modern World: Rhetoric of Influence
In today’s polarized political landscape, understanding the mechanics of persuasion is more crucial than ever. In this book, renowned rhetoric scholar Robin Reams argues that we must all pay close attention to studying rhetoric and think rhetorically. Drawing on a wide range of examples—from the ancient Greek demagogue Alcibiades to modern conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones—Reams breaks down key rhetorical techniques. She reveals how politicians, journalists, and bloggers make us believe what they want, speak, vote, and act as they intend.
By understanding these methods, you can avoid manipulation by authority figures who do not represent your interests. Reams asserts that studying rhetoric teaches us not what to think, but how to think, allowing a fresh understanding of your own and others’ ideological stances. This book is a guide to critical thinking in an age of influence, helping you see through the art of deception.
