A review by filipmagnus
The Art of Rhetoric by Aristotle

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.
