A rhetorical device in which a speaker appeals to the audience as partners in reasoning or asks them to consider something together.
From Greek anakoina (making common or shared), from ana- (back, again) plus koinein (to make common). This ancient rhetorical term describes collaborative persuasion techniques.
Anacoenosis is the opposite of being lectured at—it's when a speaker says 'Let's think about this together'—and audiences love it because it makes them feel like participants rather than passive listeners!
