According to agonistic perspectivism, which can be inferred from some of Nietzsche’s writings, knowledge is the product of power relations between perspectives. These are specifically agonistic relations, not dialectical ones, insofar as the contradictions remain open, indissoluble, leading to no synthesis. In this sense, rhetoric can be considered an agonistic analysis of argumentative praxis, compatible with perspectivism. After addressing these theses, the article concludes that rhetoric is a typical art of the republics, where practice and taste for the plurality of points of view and confrontation of arguments prevail.
