@ManBeastMountain You are welcome! This piece on Aristotle and Rhetoric has somehow helped people before.

Hitchens is a great example of this persuasion. The guy is full of shit on so many levels.

There are those who persuade, and there are those who try to convince. I trick is to distinguish between the two so you won't be fooled. Persuasion can be a terrible thing for a mind that likes to follow the crowd.

Great video. I'm glad someone made one on this subject.

Causing his own expultion from Athens? Why would he delibratly get himself threatened?

[geezerdombroadcast]

Where's the rest man? This was great. What a wonderful thing it is that anyone can sit and learn about the rhetorical techniques of the great classical intellects. Imagine the legacy of this kind of free sharing of information. The next Clarence Darrow may be sitting in the audience preparing to argue the next great legal argument of our time. Thank you for this great social service.

@carrielynnreinhard You can show your students the video "A Rhetorical Look at the Art of Rhetoric (2011 re-edit) " It is the same video, only 1 minute longer.

@birthdayinjanuary no. 'the rhetoric' is a way in which language is used but not part of language itself.
