The paper explores the significance of rhetorical argumentation in Petr Kropotkin's treatise Mutual Aid. A Factor of Evolution (1902). It argues that Kropotkin's work is steeped in the tradition of a rhetoric of science that is profoundly Darwinian and in which various forms of analogic reasoning play a central role. After explaining the epistemic function of the metaphors "struggle for existence" and "mutual aid," the paper analyses Kropotkin's argumentation strategies and offers an interpretation of them as a further development and reworking of Darwinian rhetoric.

彼得克鲁泡特金互助中的达尔文科学修辞。进化的因素（1902）

本文探讨了彼得·克鲁泡特金（Petr Kropotkin）的论文《互助》（Mutual Aid）中修辞论证的意义。进化的因素（1902）。它认为，克鲁泡特金的作品沉浸在具有深刻达尔文主义色彩的科学修辞传统中，各种形式的类比推理在其中发挥着核心作用。在解释了“生存斗争”和“互助”隐喻的认知功能之后，本文分析了克鲁泡特金的论证策略，并将其解释为对达尔文修辞的进一步发展和改造。
