Rhetoric (pronounced /ˈrɛtərɪk/) is the art of discourse, an art that aims to improve the capability of writers or speakers to inform, most likely to persuade, or motivate particular audiences in specific situations. As a subject of formal study and a productive civic practice, rhetoric has played a central role in the European tradition. Its best known definition comes from Aristotle, who considers it a counterpart of both logic and politics, and calls it "the faculty of observing in any given case the available means of persuasion." Rhetorics typically provide heuristics for understanding, discovering, and developing arguments for particular situations, such as Aristotle's three persuasive audience appeals, logos, pathos, and ethos. The five canons of rhetoric, which trace the traditional tasks in designing a persuasive speech, were first codified in classical Rome: invention, arrangement, style, memory, and delivery. Along with grammar and logic (or dialectic—see Martianus Capella), rhetoric is one of the three ancient arts of discourse.

What is Rhetoric?
What is Rhetoric? It's one of the oldest areas of study in history (about 400 BC). Rhetoric is all about the study of persuasive communication and is grounded in the teachers of philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, and Cicero and sophists like Protagoras, Gorgias, and Isocrates. We'll define and explain and show how we teach it in communication and English classes in school but it also has numerous applications to life today in public life, politics, professional settings, and the media.

The Art Of Rhetoric: A 30-Minute Summary
The Art of Rhetoric (4th century BCE) is a practical manual on the art of public speaking and persuasion. Written almost 2,500 years ago, The Art of Rhetoric remains one of the most incisive and comprehensive studies on rhetoric ever written.
Sharpen your persuasion skills and ace that next speech.
These days, rhetoric has a poor reputation. Most often, it’s used to deride the evasive way that politicians speak. Frankly, though, its reputation wasn’t that much better in Ancient Greece, where rhetoric was often treated as synonymous with emotional manipulation.
Luckily, the philosopher Aristotle helped rehabilitate rhetoric and turn it into a legitimate art form by arguing that the most persuasive speech is generally based on truth and virtue rather than emotion and manipulation.

What Is Rhetoric?: Study Hall Writing Composition #10: ASU + Crash Course
Politicians give speeches promising to bring change, evoking strong feelings. But they might be dismissed as “just empty rhetoric.” This use of the word rhetoric suggests that a speech is just an empty pie crust, with no valuable apple-y evidence to fill it.
