For several dozen centuries, rhetoric was the basis of education that gave the possibility of active participation in civic life. It used to be the basis of education as one of the pillars of artes liberales, and in the 20th and 21st centuries it returns to modern universities as a new discipline with an extensive methodological apparatus relating not only to the sphere of words (ars bene dicendi), but more broadly – to the sphere of culture and human activity (rhetoric as shaping attitudes and behaviors using symbols).
