Aristotle, Rhetoric
From RhetorClick
Brief Summary
- Rhetoric is a treatise that is widely considered "the most important single work on persuasion ever written."[1] George Kennedy is responsible for the best translation of the Rhetoric according to Quinn Warnick.[2]
- This single writing is the basis of most academic articles on the study of rhetoric. Few if any scholarly articles on rhetoric can refuse to acknowledge a base knowledge of this writing. All discussions begin with Rhetoric as a base. Many of the common terminology that we get for discussions of rhetoric come from this publication including the concept of ethos, pathos and logos.
