Abstract
Desde finales del siglo veinte estamos asistiendo a un resurgir de la retórica en diversos campos académicos, algo a lo que no resulta ajena la teoría política. Se debe precisar que se habla de diversas retóricas, ya se reivindiquen unos u otros autores, o se haga hincapié en determinados aspectos de la misma. Este trabajo se enmarca en una línea comprometida en revisar fundamentos sustanciales del conocimiento, la filosofía, la ética y la praxis política, en lo que algunos califican ya de retórica democrática. Desde ahí recuperamos a uno de sus grandes autores clásicos, Marco Fabio Quintiliano. Sus propuestas enriquecerán aquellas otras que han ido a contracorriente de las visiones triunfales de la ciencia política moderna, y que desde los años cincuenta ha tenido en autores como Hannah Arendt, Sheldon Wolin, Hans G. Gadamer, Eric Voegelin o Leo Strauss a sus mayores adalides.
Since the end of the twentieth century rhetoric has seen a comeback in many academic fields, including political theory. We have to clarify that there are different versions of rhetoric, depending on the author that is taken as key, or on the different aspects of it that are highlighted. This article seeks to revise the essential foundations of knowledge, philosophy, ethics and political praxis, following the approach that is known as classical democratic rhetoric. We will revisit one of the greatest classical authors, Marcus Fabius Quintilianus. His proposals will enrich the approaches that have questioned dominant modern political science and its mainstream currents, through counter-current thinkers such as Hannah Arendt, Sheldon S. Wolin, Hans G. Gadamer, Eric Voegelin and Leo Strauss.
