Publisher's Synopsis
Rhetoric is a book written by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, which is considered to be one of the most influential works on the theory and practice of persuasive communication. In this book, Aristotle explores the art of rhetoric, which he defines as the ability to persuade an audience through the effective use of language.The book is divided into three main sections: the first section focuses on the different types of persuasive appeals, such as logos (logic), pathos (emotion), and ethos (character). Aristotle argues that the most effective persuasive arguments are those that appeal to all three of these elements.The second section of the book examines the different types of speeches and the strategies that are most effective for each type. For example, Aristotle discusses the different approaches that should be used for speeches that are meant to inspire or motivate an audience, versus speeches that are meant to inform or educate.The final section of the book focuses on the role of the speaker in persuasive communication. Aristotle argues that the speaker must have a thorough understanding of their audience and their own character in order to effectively persuade others.Overall, Rhetoric is a comprehensive guide to the art of persuasive communication, and it continues to be widely studied and influential in fields such as politics, law, and public speaking.How it should be argued.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
