Description

In Episodes 3, 5 and 7 of this podcast, m friend John and I discussed the background and purpose of classical argumentation:

1.  How to argue better
2.  how the ancients practiced it
3.  How Aristotle shaped it
4.  How leaders such as Caesar, Lincoln, FDR and MLK used it

 We’ve also discussed the means/modes of such argumentation:

1.  ethos (character/credibility)
2.  pathos (emotion)
3.  logos (logic)
4.  kairos (timing)
5.  telos (goal/purpose)

Today we build on those conversations and discuss argumentation being battle tested by skilled opponents before judging audiences.

Enjoy!
