Leading Minds Research Project The Ethics of Persuasion and Influence in Ancient Philosophy and Contemporary Leadership
University of Leeds - Dr. Jamie Dow (project director)

Leading Minds is a research project on methods of persuasion. It brings together ancient philosophical discussions of the skills of “dialectic” (in interactive dialogue) and “rhetoric” (in speechmaking) and contemporary ethical concerns about legitimate methods of leadership and influence. It will combine careful ancient philosophy scholarship to shed new light on ancient discussions, and careful

inter-disciplinary work to bring the ancient arguments and claims into dialogue with today’s concerns. The results will include significant advances in our understanding of ancient rhetoric and dialectic. But they will also include resources for assessing the merits of a range of methods and skills by which humans today use persuasion to exercise leadership and influence over others and themselves.
