Aristotle helped define rhetoric to the world as being used to convince you, find truth, and amend to the sophists. Rhetoric is a redeemable art that is also used to achieve great things. To achieve those great things, it must appeal to the audiences’ ethos, logos, and pathos. Aristotle believed there was a big T-truth out there somewhere, and he accepted the fact that it may never be reached..Plato said that rhetoric should be honored because it persuades others of true knowledge, but Aristotle says that rhetoric is honored by making decision where rue knowledge is not available (Plato, 360B.C.E., p.170).
