How to Win an Argument
How to Win an Argument
All of us are faced countless times with the challenge of persuading others, whether we're trying to win a trivial argument with a friend or convince our coworkers about an important decision. Instead of relying on untrained instinct--and often floundering or failing as a result--we'd win more arguments if we learned the timeless art of verbal persuasion, rhetoric. How to Win an Argument gathers the rhetorical wisdom of Cicero, ancient Rome's gre…

Preliminary material
Cicero
The three elements of the traditional rhetorical triad, ingenium , ars , exercitatio , essential ingredients for the attainment of eloquence in any age, have seldom, if ever, combined themselves as efficaciously as they did in the person of Marcus Tullius Cicero, the undisputed master of oratory in ancient Rome. The sixty-odd years of Cicero's life and career coincide almost exactly with the final six decades of the Roman Republic. Over the cours…
Ciceronian Oratory in Context
Cicero explains how important it is for a speaker to master all that is relevant to the practices of his fellow-citizens and connected to their normal life, the functioning of their State and their social order; his twenty-first century audience, to remain keenly aware of the context in which his oratory succeeded so stunningly. Oratory, deals by its very nature with relationships between individuals or individuals and their community. Indeed, th…

By its very nature, the art of oratory involves character. Verbal persuasion entails the presentation of a persona by the speaker that affects an audience for good or ill. This book explores the role and extent of Cicero's use of ethos and demonstrates its persuasive effect. The book discusses the importance of ethos, not just in classical rhetorical theory but also in the social, political, and judicial milieu of ancient Rome, and then applies h…
