| Abstract: | In order to discover whether Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi's rhetorical perspective has provided a unique ethical perspective of communication, a review of the literature on existing ethical perspectives of communication would be in order. Ronald C. Arnett and Richard L. Johannesen, two contemporary researchers, have provided thorough reviews of ethical perspectives. Their ideas provide a clear backdrop against which Gandhi's perspective may be analyzed. At the center of Gandhi's rhetorical perspective is both the implicit and explicit rejection of violence. He assumed communication can be nonviolent and violent, and that distinctions between means and ends of communication can be collapsed. In addition, Gandhi assumed communicators (1) are active rather than passive; (2) share power; and (3) should focus on preserving relationships. Gandhi's unique view of rhetoric, of communication, and of communicators can be seen as a contribution to society's understanding of the ethnicality of rhetoric.
