Applying Aristotle's Rhetoric Theory To President Bush's Memorial Address
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. As the shaper of truth and reality, the discourse community is constantly at odds with the manner by which rhetoric is approached in contemporary times. Outsiders pay little mind to the value of words, asserting that their presence is merely symbolic in nature and superficial in reality. Like so many who have adopted this way of thinking, these nonmembers of the discourse community possess very little interest for truth, being concerned only with rhetoric persuasion. With a rhetorical epistemology solidly entrenched in their psyche, these naysayers hold firm to their convictions that words are not the connection between concept and knowledge, but rather that obtaining such a possession is not only unwarranted by humans but also impossible. Examining President Bush's recent memorial address at the National Cathedral, one can readily argue that Aristotle's three-point definition of rhetoric was a primary component toward persuasion through words, as well as a solid example of substantiating his own character, credibility, and persona; an emotional state in his audience; and a sense of reasonableness.

Are Emotions Wholly Different from the Rational Intellect? A Discussion Using Some Arguments from Plato’s “Republic”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing emotions and rational intellect. Traditionally in ancient Greek philosophy as seen in Plato’s Republic, emotions are considered as separate from rational intellect. In Plato, he presents three souls in the human body which consist of rational intellect, emotions and will. For Plato, all three souls must work in harmony in order for a man to be considered just. Regardless of Plato’s arguments however, examples can be given which show that perhaps emotions and intellect are not developmentally separate and in all cases, the intellect and emotions have an effect on each other in addition to having a mutual control over the will.
