Poulakos argues right knowing of sophistical rhetoric calls for a snatch of 3 cultural dynamics of the 5th century B. C. : the common sense of situations, the ethic of festival, and the cultured of exhibition.

In his dialogue of historic responses to sophistical rhetoric, Poulakos observes that Plato, Isocrates, and Aristotle came upon sophistry morally reprehensible, politically dead, and theoretically incoherent. whilst, they produced their very own model of rhetoric that endorsed moral integrity, political unification, and theoretical coherence. Poulakos explains that those responses and replacement types have been influenced through a look for options to such ancient difficulties as ethical uncertainty, political instability, and social sickness. Poulakos concludes that sophistical rhetoric was once as worthy in its day as its Platonic, Isocratean, and Aristotelian opposite numbers have been in theirs.

1-5 No text is an island. —Peter D. Miscall In order to do justice to both types of intertextuality found in Jer. 1 -5, in this chapter and the next I will do two 'readings' of the section, one focused on Deut. 1 -4 as an intertext, and the second having cultural discourse of gender as its intertext. Reading the text in two ways is in keeping with Mikhail Bakhtin's insight that there is never only one way to read a text. Multiple readings may stand side by side. My conviction is that the two readings will complement each other, the second extending and refining the first.
