Abstract

The current research is a review of the history of rhetoric in terms of its objectives, a divergent aspect that underlies all rhetorical treatments of principles, issues, and questions. It explores how images of rhetoric are formed differently depending on the preference for one objective over another from one source to another. The research aims to identify these objectives, analyze them individually, and examine how rhetoricians have perceived them throughout history. It investigates how different forms of rhetoric have developed based on these varying objectives and their distinctive features. Additionally, it examines how these rhetorical forms have been juxtaposed and collaborated to create a cognitive formation of Arabic rhetoric, capable of extension, application, and contribution across different branches.
