Accepted Answer

Cicero (106-43 BCE) saw rhetoric not as manipulation but as the highest applied philosophy — the art of making true wisdom politically effective. His works were lost in the Middle Ages until Petrarch found them in a Verona library in 1345.

Cicero (106-43 v.Chr.) zag retoriek niet als manipulatie maar als de hoogste toegepaste filosofie — de kunst om ware wijsheid politiek effectief te maken. Zijn werken werden in de middeleeuwen verloren tot Petrarca ze in 1345 in een Verona-bibliotheek vond.
