THE RHETORIC
“Character may
almost be
called the most
effective means
of persuasion.”

attorneys.
Citizens will hire Sophists (Teachers of public
speaking)

Too focused on judicial system and ways to arouse
judges and juries
Neglect other contexts, such as logic

case, to see all of the available means of
persuasion
• The key to persuasion
• An art of using language

when they persuade others
• Consider all aspects of speech making

presentations
Effective
public
speakers

educational level, etc)
• Rhetoric is about gaining
compliance, thus audience must be
considered

speaker, subject, and person addressed – it is the
last one, the hearer, that determines the speech’s
end and object” – Aristotle

Integration
• Communication Tradition: Rhetorical
• Communication Context: Public/Rhetorical
• Approach to Knowing:
Interpretive/Hermeneutic & Critical
Critique
Logical Consistency:
Aristotle has been criticized for contradiction and
incoherence, especially on the importance of presenting
emotions (pathos).
Heurism:
Most heuristic theories
Been used not only in communication, but also in writing of
public speaking.
Test of Time:
It’s hard to believe that any other communication theory will
ever achieve such longevity.
Closing
• In this 21st century, some may reject this theory from
Aristotle and consider it as outdated.
• However, many believe that this theory is still used
and help many people in public speaking.
• Thus, the Rhetoric should not be ignored as it focus
on how speakers use and engender emotions, logic
and trustworthiness.
