The second issue of the popular science journal The Unknown Orator explores the relationship between rhetoric and democracy — from the perspectives of philosophy, history, politics, and the practice of public speaking. The six articles cover: the ontological foundations of democratic discourse, an anatomy of authoritarian rhetoric and its markers, the transformation of communication under martial law in Ukraine, Thomas Mann's anti-Nazi rhetorical activity, the aesthetics of oratory in comparative perspective (Jobs and Xi Jinping), and a practical guide to developing oratorical abilities. The journal is addressed to anyone with an interest in rhetoric, democratic values, and the power of the spoken word.

This is the first issue of the unique popular science magazine "Unknown Orator", dedicated to the art of oratory and non-verbal communication. The author of the idea, founder and editor-in-chief of the publication is Mykola Ovcharov, a specialist in oratory skills who seeks to share his knowledge and experience with a wide audience.

This issue is entirely dedicated to the topic of body language - a mysterious and powerful system of nonverbal signals that plays a key role in communication and public speaking. On the pages of the magazine you will find thorough and fascinating articles that reveal various aspects of nonverbal communication - from its evolutionary roots and cultural features to practical techniques and exercises for developing your own oratorical skills.
