Rhetorik & the Corithian Column

RHETORIK
The ART & Science of Persuasion




 ETHOS PATHOS LOGOS
In GOOD COPY

We  should all equip ourselves  with the power of rhetoric:  the ability to find all available means of persuasion in any instance.
It is the the art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing, especially the exploitation of what would appeal to ethos, pathos and logos...the customs , emotions and logic of how we respond to what we read and hear.
A good proponent can use this skillset to inform, persuade, or motivate others to influence their beliefs, attitudes, intentions , motivations and behaviour – to a desired outcome or action.  This is important in business as it is personal dealings.

The Greek philosopher Aristotle calls it "the faculty of observing in any given case the available means of persuasion”.






Corinthian order


The most ornate of the three main orders of classical Greek architecture, characterized by a slender fluted column having an ornate bell-shaped capital decorated with acanthus leaves. Rhetorik has chosen this visual to represent its classical leanings and beauty in the written and spoken language.
