Strongest in terms of persuasive power, but rarely (if ever) in terms of any kind of reasoned or scientific approach.
- dragontamer 6y agoThere are three kinds of arguments: Ethos, Logos, and Pathos. Just because Logos is effective on you, doesn't mean its the best methodology in general. Arguments towards authority and emotion must be understood as such, and provide greater insight to the crowds you're discussing with. If you're going Logos-only into a discussion, you've effectively disarmed yourself. Your debate opponent will use Ethos, Logos, and Pathos to get a rhetorical advantage against you. Therefore, its important to learn the Ethos-based and Pathos-based arguments that members of a crowd will make, in preparation before you discuss matters with them.
