Excerpt from The Science of Rhetoric: An Introduction to the Law of Effective Discourse

This book is not designed as an introduction to English composition, but rather as a systematic presentation of the laws of discourse, for advanced classes.

Most of the text-books on Rhetoric take a one-sided view of the subject. Dr. Whately has treated Rhetoric as a branch of Logic, making it "the art of inventing and arranging arguments;" Dr. Blair treats it as a department of applied �sthetics, as if it were a purely critical art; Dr. Theremin regards it as belonging to Ethics, as if eloquence were a virtue. This little work aims to explain the whole theory of effective discourse, for whatever purpose and in whatever form it may be used. The specific province of the rhetorician is to render given ideas effective in producing mental changes in others. Rhetoric treats of thought militant. Logic furnishes conceptions which are formally true; �sthetics, conceptions which are beautiful; Ethics, conceptions which are just Rhetoric takes these conceptions and establishes them in the mind of another.

Rhetoricians have frequently regarded Invention as a part of Rhetoric. Invention implies the production of some particular kind of thought, conditioned by the nature of the subject-matter.

Paperback. Condici�n: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the science of rhetoric, aiming to present a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the principles behind effective discourse. The author challenges the conventional one-sided perspectives on rhetoric found in traditional textbooks, rejecting the notion that it solely belongs to logic, aesthetics, or ethics. Instead, the book proposes a broader understanding of rhetoric as the art of influencing mental states through the skillful manipulation of ideas. Drawing upon the insights of prominent thinkers like Aristotle and John Stuart Mill, the author explores the complex relationship between thought, language, and emotion. The book examines the laws of mind that govern how individuals process and respond to ideas, highlighting the influence of age, experience, and social affiliations. The book then dissects the specific characteristics of different types of ideas, including descriptions, narratives, expositions, and arguments, revealing how each form of discourse operates according to specific rules and principles. The author culminates by analyzing the nuances of language as a medium of expression, exploring the impact of diction, sentence structure, and figurative language on the effectiveness of communication. The bookâ� �s emphasis on the multifaceted nature of rhetoric, its connection to mental processes, and its application to various forms of discourse provides a compelling framework for understanding the art of persuasive communication. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
