Rhetoric
Aristotle
Aristotle on character, emotion and proof as the three appeals. The other half of the subject that logic alone cannot cover.
Why you should read this
This is the founding treatise on persuasion in the Western tradition, setting out the appeals to character, emotion and reasoning that rhetorical theory still uses today. Expect the compressed, lecture-note style typical of Aristotle's surviving works rather than polished prose.
