Aristotle's rhetoric tries to strike a middle position. Aristotle says rhetoric and poetry are a technique the Rhetoric is a handbook. Aristotle says the speaker needs to appeal to appropriate information for the particular setting. Much like a lawyer's argument not just relying on facts need to appeal to people's emotions. Aristotle does understand that rhetoric can be used in a harmful way. Aristotle lays out three features in rhetoric: 1. Ethos= character of the speaker also charisma speaker earns the audience's trust use of body language. 2. Pathos= condition of the hearer. 3. Logos= essential bearing on political persuasion truth. Plato's concern by definition therefore excludes speech because it deals with emotion. These three conditions must be in play for a speech to be successful. The rhetoric contains a detailed analysis of the different human emotions and how to elicit them in a speech. Aristotle knows the speaker must be a good student of human nature to tap into human emotions." Michael A Neulander ; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall . J. J. Stockdale hardcover

It was first published in 1684 and written by an unknown author who falsely claimed to be Aristotle. As a consequence the author is now described as a Pseudo-Aristotle the collective name for unidentified authors who masqueraded as Aristotle. The title of the work was possibly chosen because Aristotle was seen as a sex expert in early modern England. Another popular pseudo-Aristotelian text which covered sex and reproduction Aristotle's Problems 1595 had been responsible for this reputation. The real Aristotle had also written works about the reproduction of animals such as History of Animals and Generation of Animals and was considered an authority on scientific matters in general. hardcover

Eaton. 1855 though 1856 is stamped on the bottom of the spine; Longman Brown Green and Longmans; Oxford / W. Graham Oxford; London. With text in both English and Greek. "The want of a fresh edition of Aristotle's Politics has long been felt; and the present one is due to an application arising from an increasing demand. It is the aim of this edition to exhibit as far as has been found possible the present state of knowledge on subjects connected with the text; as also to guide the student into a wider field of illustration and reflection than would be afforded by a literal commentary. The text adopted is that of Bekker on which the laborious accuracy of Stahr has ingrafted little substantial improvement. Care has been taken throughout to direct the student to all important variations of the MSS. or suggestions on the part of commentators."Condition:Clean covers; fading to cloth on the spine and at the top edge of the back cover.
