		Rhetoric is useful (1) because things that are true and things that are just have a natural tendency to prevail over their opposites, so that if the decisions of judges are not what they ought to be, the defeat must be due to the speakers themselves, and they must be blamed accordingly.
		But rhetoric we look upon as the power of observing the means of persuasion on almost any subject presented to us; and that is why we say that, in its technical character, it is not concerned with any special or definite class of subjects.
		It is not true, as some writers assume in their treatises on rhetoric, that the personal goodness revealed by the speaker contributes nothing to his power of persuasion; on the contrary, his character may almost be called the most effective means of persuasion he possesses.

	RHETORIC
		In its broadest sense, rhetoric concerns both the practice and study of effective communication in literature and in social discourse.
		Until well into the 19th century, rhetoric was a fundamental area of academic study and a direct influence on the compositional styles of poets, playwrights, and novelists.
		In addition, as an innately pluralistic form of criticism, rhetorical analysis may serve as a bridge between the study of literature and the study of other forms of discourse: speeches, advertisements, reportage, debates, television news--all manner of texts, images, icons, and symbols.

	Aristotle
		Although the surviving works of Aristotle probably represent only a fragment of the whole, they include his investigations of an amazing range of subjects, from logic, philosophy, and ethics to physics, biology, psychology, politics, and rhetoric.
		Aristotle appears to have thought through his views as he wrote, returning to significant issues at different stages of his own development.
		There he considered the natural desire to achieve happiness, described the operation of human volition and moral deliberation, developed a theory of each virtue as the mean between vicious extremes, discussed the value of three kinds of friendship, and defended his conception of an ideal life of intellectual pursuit.

	Aristotle's Rhetoric
		Rhetoric and dialectic are concerned with things that do not belong to a definite genus or are not the object of a specific science.
		In general, Aristotle regards deductive arguments as a set of sentences in which some sentences are premises and one is the conclusion, and the inference from the premises to the conclusion is guaranteed by the premises alone.
		However, in the rhetorical context there are two factors that the dialectician has to keep in mind if she wants to become a rhetorician too, and if the dialectical argument is to become a successful enthymeme.

	No. 1926: Rhetoric
		Rhetoric was popularized in the fifth century B.C. by the sophists.
		Where Aristotle differentiated himself from the sophists was in his focus on the process of creating a persuasive argument rather than on winning at all costs.
		Aristotle brilliantly clarifies his position in the very first sentence of his book, The Art of Rhetoric, where he refers to rhetoric as the counterpart to Plato's logic.

	Review - Aristotle On Rhetoric: A Theory of Civic Discourse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Aristotle is, however, probably thinking of, and rejecting, the analogy of the true and false arts elaborated by Socrates in the Gorgias, where justice is said to be an antistrophos to medicine (464b8) and rhetoric, the false form of justice, is compared to cookery, the false form of medicine (465c1-3).
		He identifies the genus to which rhetoric belongs as dynamis: "ability, capacity, faculty." In his philosophical writing dynamis is the regular word for "potentiality" in matter or form that is "actualized" by an efficient cause.
		The actuality produced by the potentiality of rhetoric is not the written or oral text of a speech, or even persuasion but the art of "seeing" how persuasion may be effected.

	A Bibliographical Essay on Rhetoric (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		While rhetorical theory has had a few superstars, such as Aristotle and Quintilian, the bulk of the work on the subject has been done by scholars adding to, removing, and rearranging rhetorical theory to fit the needs of their time and place.
		Since the teaching of rhetoric fell out of common, daily practice with the end of the Roman era, the study of rhetoric was neither advanced widely nor in quantity until the beginning of the twentieth century.
		Aristotle’s seminal work should also be included in this classification; while it was written a few millennia ago, it has constantly been brought to the forefront of theory and essentially kept alive by the body of work that addresses and applies it.

		That is, the rhetoric, the way of speaking, the way of philsophizing in Aristotle's Rhetoric, must show itself phemenologically as a species of everyday Being-with, but at the same time, its speech must distinguish itself in the how of its own being moved, as philosophical speech.
		Thus the rhetorical function of that first sentence is to open a space wherein the relationship between rhetoric and philosophy will enthymematically—that is with the cooperation of the audience— be thrown into question.
		Philosophical speech, as rhetorical arete, will connect the dasein of professor with the dasein of the student in the how of their being moved, namely by the profoundly serious questionablity of the question.

	Art Walzer, Department of Rhetoric
		Working in Rhetoric while studying in English led me to choose to draw on rhetoric as a method in my dissertation so that when I finished I was prepared to teach in the Rhetoric Department.
		This course focuses on rhetorical theory of England in the late Renaissance and the Enlightenment (approximately from 1605 -1776), a period in which rhetoric as a discipline reacted to the scientific revolution.
		In the seminar, we study rhetoric in three of its principle manifestations: the Ciceronian rhetoric of the Renaissance, the modernist rhetoric of the eighteenth century, and the postmodernist reactions of Michel Foucault and Stephen Toulmin.

		Aristotle's text, known as the Rhetoric, is concerned with the art of persuasive oratory.
		Aristotle set up philsophical and systematic rules for oratory in order to study the speaking practices of his time, but these same methods can be applied to modern discourse as well.
		In defense of Aristotle, when we identify something as suasive in nature, we are simply accepting the fact that all areas of human life exist within established borders of convictions and assumptions.

		We must make as it were a fresh start, and before going further define what rhetoric is. 2 Rhetoric may be defined as the faculty of observing in any given case the available means of persuasion.

		The Rhetoric shows signs of being addressed to different audiences, probably reflecting differing context in which Aristotle lectured on rhetoric at different times in his career.
		So unless we think that Aristotle actually is referring exclusively to males every time he uses a noun or pronoun that happens in Greek to be masculine in gender,a translator is rather misrepresenting the Greek to translate,as a matter of course,these words into words that in English are obviously-and almost always,exclusively-masculine,like "man/men" & "he/him".
		Aristotle's treatise "On Rhetoric" has been the seminal work in the field since it was written.

	The Art Of Rhetoric - Aristotle - Penguin UK
		In response, the technique of rhetoric rapidly developed, bringing virtuoso performances and a host of practical manuals for the layman.
		Here Aristotle (384-322 BC) establishes the methods of informal reasoning, provides the first aesthetic evaluation of prose style and offers detailed observations on character and the emotions.
		Hugely influential upon later Western culture, the Art of Rhetoric is a fascinating consideration of the force of persuasion and sophistry, and a compelling guide to the principles behind oratorical skill.

	Rhetoric (Aristotle) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aristotle's Rhetoric (or "Ars Rhetorica", or "The Art of Rhetoric" or "Treatise on Rhetoric") places the discipline of public speaking in the context of all other intellectual pursuits at the time.
		Moreover, Aristotle is working to rehabilitate the reputation of rhetoric in light of Plato's attacks on the art as just a knack and not an art.
		(PP Gorg.465a) Aristotle wishes to demonstrate that "[p]roofs alone are intrinsic to the art." (PP Rh.1.1.1 or 1354a) Although we can "more easily achieve persuasion by speaking rhetorically" (1355a), the rhetoric's "function is not persuasion." (1355b)

		Aristotle stresses that rhetoric is closely related to dialectic.
		Further, it is central for both disciplines that they deal with arguments from accepted premises.
		Rhetoric must take into account that its target group has only restricted intellectual resources, whereas such concerns are totally absent from dialectic.
