Abstract
In Aristotle's presentation, Gorgias seems to be only a rhetorician unable to express any interesting philosophical thesis. The reason for that is, in Aristotle's opinion, that a necessary feature of every philosopher is a clear and precise way of speaking, while Gorgias prefers a complex and obscure speech style. From the point of view of the evolution of rhetoric, Aristotle believes that Gorgias has a shortcoming, namely, that the elicits since appeals emotions and passions rather than logos.
