Philosophers in Ancient Greece This painting, created by Raphael (1483 -1520), is entitled "The School of Athens. " This masterpiece depicts an intellectual gathering of the great philosophers of classical times at a school called the Ancient Agora of Athens. The Agora remains standing today in Athens, Greece. The school served as an academic meeting place for the great philosophers of classical times. In particular, this painting portrays Plato, Aristotle, and other philosophers engaging in philosophical inquiry. Although this painting depicts Classical antiquity, it was created during the Renaissance.

Aristotle Defined Rhetoric and Appeals Aristotle was a famous Greek philosopher who taught about Rhetoric, the art of persuasion. Plato, another famous Greek philosopher, was his teacher. Aristotle taught Alexander the Great how to properly argue and perform a public speech.

This painting by Jaques-Louis David is called, “The Death of Socrates. ” As you hear or read any argument, you should ask: 1. Is the argument persuasive? 2. To whom is the argument persuasive? 3. What types of appeals make the argument persuasive? • • There are several ways to appeal to an audience. Among them are appealing to logos, ethos and pathos. These appeals are prevalent in almost all arguments. The appeals can take the form of words or visuals.
![Ethos Pathos and Logos 1 Ethos appeal to reputation or credibility 2 Pathos Ethos, Pathos, and Logos 1. Ethos = appeal to reputation or credibility 2. Pathos](https://slidetodoc.com/presentation_image_h2/6448977f52b932e206b30f9cb51110fc/image-7.jpg)
Ethos, Pathos, and Logos 1. Ethos = appeal to reputation or credibility 2. Pathos = appeal to emotions or values 3. Logos = appeals to logic, facts, or reason
![Ethos The word ethos came from the Greek word ethikos meaning moral or showing Ethos The word "ethos" came from the Greek word ethikos meaning moral or showing](https://slidetodoc.com/presentation_image_h2/6448977f52b932e206b30f9cb51110fc/image-8.jpg)
Ethos The word "ethos" came from the Greek word ethikos meaning moral or showing moral character. Aristotle contends that a speaker must establish moral credibility in the minds of the audience at the beginning of his or her speech. In order to do so, the speaker must show that he or she has expertise in the subject matter of the speech and that he or she is disconnected from topic (i. e. , the speaker does not and will not have a direct interest or an ulterior motive for convincing their audience). For example, when a trusted doctor gives you advice, you may not understand all of the medical reasoning behind the advice, but you nonetheless follow the directions because you believe that the doctor has expertise and credibility in the field of medicine.

Ethos = appeals to credibility • Ethos: Ethos is related to the English word ethics and refers to the credibility of the speaker/writer. • Ethos is an effective persuasive strategy because when we believe that the speaker is trustworthy, we are more willing to listen to what s/he has to say. • Likewise, when a judge comments on legal precedent, audiences tend to listen because it is the job to be an expert past legal cases. For example, professional football players have established their credibility in sports by playing in the NFL. If LT tells us that VIZIO is the best plasma television for watching football, we believe that he knows what he is talking about because of his expertise related to the sport.

Pathos = emotion and values • An effective use of pathos will appeal to the audience through the use of emotional or value-based appeals. • Both words and pictures can achieve this appeal. • For example, consider the appeal to emotions and values in this picture of Haitians digging for muchneeded water.

Pathos • Pathos is related to the words pathetic, sympathy, and empathy. • Whenever you accept an argument based on how it makes you feel without fully analyzing the rationale behind the claim, you are acting on pathos. • Those who wish to persuade you will appeal to your emotions. They may persuade you with fear, love, patriotism, guilt, hate, or joy. • A majority of arguments in the popular press are heavily dependent on appealing to your emotions. We, as a society, should not react to emotional arguments without fully considering all of the facts. • Although the use of pathos can be manipulative if misused, it can also be used to effectively convince along with logos and ethos. • Appeals to pathos touch a nerve and compel people to not only listen, but to also take action in the world.

Logos logos means logic • Logos refers to any attempt to appeal to the intellect, including logic, reason, and evidence. • Logos appeals to the left side of the audience's brain. The audience finds certain patterns, conventions, and modes of reasoning to be convincing and persuasive. • The audience relies on reasoning and facts to make its decision. Numbers, facts, and statistics are also examples of the persuasive use of logos.

Logos “Let us begin with a simple proposition: What democracy requires is public debate, not information. Of course it needs information too, but the kind of information it needs can be generated only by vigorous popular debate. We do not know what we need to know until we ask the right questions, and we can identify the right questions only by subjecting our ideas about the world to the test of public controversy. Information, usually seen as the precondition of debate, is better understood as its by product. When we get into arguments that focus and fully engage our attention, we become avid seekers of relevant information. Otherwise, we take in information passively--if we take it in at all. ” -Christopher Lasch, "The Lost Art of Political Argument"
