Abstract

We provide adjustments to the way rhetoric and argumentation are approached in contemporary society as teachable and learnable arts to address these issues. Considering republicacy as “an art of civic engagement” we provide specific ideas about how to combine, edit, and alter extant theories of rhetorical and argumentation pedagogy to help citizens not only use their rights but effectively promote the development of the concept of “public engagement” for themselves and future generations.
