This essay argues that the most significant influences on postmodern rhetorical theory are rooted predominantly in the philosophical ideas of one thinker‐Friedrich Nietzsche. Yet the particular Nietzschean ideas upon which many postmodern rhetorics are based were abandoned by Nietzsche as his epistemological and ontological views developed over the course of his career. Nietzsche's mature thought is viewed as wholly incompatible with currently fashionable postmodern rhetorics. Sections of the essay: (1) establish the Nietzschean grounding for postmodern rhetorics; (2) detail Nietzsche's mature epistemology and ontology; (3) suggest the form a rhetoric based on Nietzsche's later philosophy would likely take; and (4) discuss implications for contemporary rhetoric
