| contents | Propaganda, Non-Rational Means, and Civic Rhetoric Ishani Maitra Filosofía ideology Propaganda inequality incompetence civic rhetoric This paper examines Jason Stanley’s account of propaganda. I begin with an overview and some questions about the structure of that account. I then argue for two main conclusions. First, I argue that Stanley’s account over-generalizes, by counting mere incompetent argumentation as propaganda. But this problem can be avoided, by emphasizing the role of emotions in effective propaganda more than Stanley does. In addition, I argue that more propaganda is democratically acceptable than Stanley allows. Focusing especially on sexual assault prevention campaigns, I show that propaganda can be acceptable even when it represents some in our communities as worthy of contempt. 2016 artículo científico 0495-4548 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=339748382004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3397 THEORIA.
