Elements of Rhetoric
I know what you’re thinking, who made this and why? Great
question!
- Aristotle taught that a speaker’s ability to persuade an
audience is based on how well the speaker appeals to
that audience in three different areas: logos, ethos, and
pathos. Considered together, these appeals form what
later rhetoricians have called the rhetorical triangle.
Who?
Aristotle is a towering figure in ancient
Greek philosophy, making
contributions to logic, metaphysics,
mathematics, physics, biology, botany,
ethics, politics, agriculture, medicine,
dance and theatre. He was a student
of Plato who in turn studied under
Socrates, who are also famous
philosophers!
