How did Aristotle impact argument?
With his philosophy on rhetoric, Aristotle impacted argument by impacting not only authors of the time but also Roman teachers of rhetoric, such as Cicero and Quintilian, that incorporated Aristotle's philosophy of rhetoric into their own teachings (Rapp, 2010). As a result, Aristotle impacted argument with his three modes of persuasion that are very much rooted in psychological phenomena - the ethical, emotional, and, above all, logical appeal.
