filipmagnus's review against another edition
5.0
I was not surprised to discover that many of writing's postulates can be discovered in Aristotle's 'The Art of Rhetoric'. This was not an easy book to read, but an interesting one - most of the topics are still widely viable methods, used in writing and in courtrooms, alike.
Aristotle, who is one of the finest minds of Western culture (the case could be made that he's one of its forefathers), has a knack for putting a finger on all kinds of concepts, and his explanations are both simple and all-encompassing.

A classic that should be read more frequently, largely because the tactics and categories of argument are so similar to what is still used today, even if the virtues are only somewhat similar. This, or condensed versions of it would be very helpful for students learning how to write and speak persuasively.

What is this guy trying to say? He seems to have confused even himself, because he's a little contradictory. Okay, okay, so technically I didn't finish this book. I just put it down.
