WHAT DOES APOLOGIA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Apologia

Apologia is a form of practiced rhetoric used in self-defense and as the vindication of a person. The apologia is a persuasive rhetorical device common to politics and to public relations, and is an analytical term in genre criticism. An apologia entails the speaker publicly expressing remorse for wrong-doing; likewise, the function of the non-apology apology is that the speaker admits no wrong-doing. Forgiveness and re-acceptance are the ideal results of the public apology; conflict resolution by means of an explanation meant to mend a damaged relationship. The etymology of apologia derives from the root word apologos, “a story”. The Greek philosophers Plato, Isocrates, and Aristotle described apologia as a genre of Rhetoric, in which the orator persuasively explains and defends his actions and himself against an accusation, and earns vindication from and re-acceptance to the polity.
