Plato and Aristotle

Rhetoric

Key Ideas Rhetoric: counterpart [antistrophos] of dialectic. The skill allows one to 1.discover the available means of persuasion. 2.debate doubtful matters before a general audience.

Syllogisms and Enthymemes Syllogism (major premise, minor premise, conclusion) – 1. All men are mortal. 2. Socrates is a man. 3. Therefore, Socrates is mortal. Enthymemes: – Socrates is mortal because he’s a man. (major premise missing) – All men are mortal, so Socrates is a mortal. (minor premise missing)

Enthymemes We can’t trust this man because he has lied to us in the past. – Major premise: ? – Minor premise: This man has lied to us in the past. – Conclusion: He cannot be trusted. Because people who have lied in the past will continue to lie, we cannot trust this man.

Your Turn! Create an enthymeme based on the following syllogisms: 1.All insects have six legs. The beetle has six legs. Therefore, the beetle is an insect. 2.All smokers have an increased risk of cancer. This woman smokes. Therefore, this woman has an increased risk of cancer.
