Aristotle's Three Components of Rhetoric
I have been listening to the excellent podcast series on critical thinking by Jonathan Haber. I have no idea who he is but I can recommend the podcast. I have a drive to work of about 30 minutes, and each episode fits that gap quite nicely, leaving me with a warm feeling of having learned something of value. One of the things that came up was Aristotle's three modes of argumentation. I have been using this concept quite a bit since I picked up on it and it is having some surprising benefits.
