Abstract Chaïm Perelman and Lucie Olbrechts-Tytecas Traité de Vargumentation: la nouvelle rhétorique marked a revolution in twentieth-century rhetorical theory. In this essay, we trace Perelman and Olbrechts-Tytecas turn from logical positivism and the accepted belief that reasons domain was the vita contemplativa to rhetoric and its use as a reason designed for the vita activa. Our effort to tell the story of their rhetorical turn, which took place between 1944 and 1950, is informed by an account of the context in which they considered questions of reason, responsibility, and action in the wake of World War II.

Th ese books mark a “rhetorical turn” in twentieth-century thought. Of the fi ve, Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca’s work had the greatest infl uence on rhetorical theory in the twentieth century. Indeed, we believe the post–World War II rhetorical turn is best codifi ed in Th e New Rhetoric , as
