The volume brings together contributions by internationally renowned experts on the question of topos, a legacy of classical rhetoric used and studied in a broad variety of areas. As such the collection is a cross-section of ongoing research on this subject, some of it historical (antiquity, Middle Ages, modern age), some of it systems oriented (law, communication theory).
