Aristotle, as a philosopher and thinker, would likely respond to Hirokawa and Gouran's functional perspective by examining the underlying principles and concepts they present. He would likely appreciate the focus on the functions and outcomes of communication, as Aristotle himself emphasized the importance of achieving specific goals through communication in his work on rhetoric.

Aristotle might also critique the functional perspective by examining the ethical implications of using communication solely as a means to achieve specific ends. He might argue that communication should also be valued for its intrinsic worth and its ability to foster understanding and virtue in individuals and society.

In response, Hirokawa and Gouran might argue that their functional perspective does not discount the ethical or intrinsic value of communication, but rather seeks to provide a framework for understanding and improving the effectiveness of communication in achieving specific outcomes. They might also point to the practical applications of their perspective in fields such as organizational communication and decision-making.

Overall, the exchange between Aristotle and Hirokawa and Gouran would likely involve a thoughtful exploration of the philosophical and practical implications of their respective perspectives on communication.

Any form of presentation that calls attention to itself takes away from the speaker's proofs.
