Post #5: Boethius

Boethius, although from the medieval times, emulated his ideas from that of Aristotle. Boethius drew very much from ancient rhetoric, sticking with the classics. However, unlike the others, Boethius wholeheartedly supported the individuals' thoughts on speech. He found it important that everyone develop their own skills. Whereas in Aristotle's time, rhetoric was mostly restricted to the elite and to the church.
