| Sumari: | According to Aristotle’s Rhetoric passions are accompanied by pleasure and
pain and are associated with changes in judgment. As well, they are often
expressed or made manifest in various ways, where this can range from
physiological changes constitutive of particular passions to complex activities such
as taking revenge and fleeing. Presumably, a rhetorician will need to be particularly
conscious of the latter kinds of cases when rousing or playing upon an audience’s
passions.
The present study seeks to articulate ways in which the Rhetoric can account
for these latter kinds of cases. It argues for and attempts to articulate several
explanations that Aristotle’s thinking makes room for, and their relevance to and
role in regard to particular passions. These include explanations that center on a
role for desire, sentience, hope, and the intervention or influence of other passions,
and concerns passions such as fear, anger, pity, and shame.
