Description
Rhetoric and Poetics: Key Behavioural Handbooks for Storytelling and Persuasion
An Introduction
Aristotle, known as one of the greatest philosophers of all time, left us with two important works: Poetics and Rhetoric. Although they were written over 2,000 years ago, these works still serve as valuable guides for those interested in storytelling, performance, and presentation. In fact, the influence of Poetics can even be seen in the scripts of Hollywood movies. Poetics, with a duration of less than two hours, explores the structure of drama, comedy, tragedy, satire plays, lyric poetry, epic poetry, and music. Aristotle's analysis covers various aspects including plot, characters, pace, and rhythm. It is a profound source of literary theory that helps us understand the essence of storytelling.The Art of Persuasion
Aristotle's Rhetoric is an extensive work that spans nearly nine hours. In ancient Greek and Roman times, and even today, persuasion is a crucial skill. Rhetoric offers an in-depth exploration of this art form. Aristotle developed his views on rhetoric over a span of 40 years, making his work the most comprehensive and influential source on the subject. In a world that heavily relied on oral communication, the ability to speak well and persuade through presentations was highly valued. Aristotle identified three key elements of persuasion: ethos (the speaker's personal character), pathos (the emotional influence on the audience), and logos (the content and argument). The three books of Rhetoric discuss these elements, providing valuable insights into effective persuasion techniques.A Timeless Document
The enduring relevance of Rhetoric is evident as it continues to be a required study in the 21st century. It is not only essential for public speakers, but also for anyone involved in situations where persuasion is necessary. The work is divided into three parts: an overview, the means of persuasion, and the style. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the art of rhetoric and the power it holds. With ethos as the foundation, Rhetoric emphasizes the positive nature of persuasion as an art form.Translations and Narration
