- Now I know "a little" more about Perelman since beginning my reading in
- Realm of Rhetoric. As I understand the Universal Audience, Perelman
- suggests it only when one is addressing an "audience of good-will and
- philosophical bent". When would that be, I wonder? Otherwise, he very
- much suggests getting to know the "particular" audience because he
- suggests the writer/speaker must begin with presumptions that the
- audience already "adheres". I'm beginning to think the idea of
- universal audience has been made too much of.
