Aristotle’s Rhetoric: The Art of Persuasion Rhetoric: the art of effective/persuasive use of language. Aristotle’s Rhetoric: A deliberation to get what you want. There are 3 elements to Aristotle’s rhetoric on the art of persuasion in order to be successful in persuading someone: 1) Ethos/Character of the speaker (Is the speaker a trustworthy person? Is this person credible?) This speaker must be able to project/demonstrate: a. intelligence b. good will c. virtuous character (have moral excellence/goodness) 2) The emotional state (pathos) of the audience and the speaker’s ability to touch the feelings of the audience. Therefore the speaker must know the audience and know how to arouse certain emotions in the audience. 3) The use of logic (logos): inductions (stating that and deductions.)
