a rhetorical strategy in which the speaker or writer anticipates an objection or counterargument from the audience and addresses it before it can be raised
What is "procatalepsis"?
Procatalepsis is a rhetorical device where the speaker or writer addresses and responds to potential objections or counterarguments before they are even raised by others. This technique allows the author to anticipate and counter any possible criticism, strengthening their position and making their argument more convincing. For example, in an argument about the benefits of a new policy, a speaker might say, "Some may argue that this policy will be too costly. However, the long-term savings and benefits far outweigh the initial expenses." This approach demonstrates awareness of opposing viewpoints and reinforces the speaker’s argument.
