About this listen
This episode is a masterclass in "logos," the art of a well-reasoned argument, as first defined by Aristotle in his Rhetoric. While character and emotion are essential, a truly persuasive message must also be grounded in logic and evidence. This episode explores the power of a clear, coherent, and compelling argument. We analyze how great speakers have used logic, data, and clear reasoning to make their case and win over their audiences.
We will break down the key components of a logical argument. The episode provides a practical guide to building your own case, from structuring your points to using evidence effectively. We draw on examples from a wide range of speakers, from Abraham Lincoln’s carefully crafted legal arguments to Steve Jobs’s product presentations. Their work demonstrates that a good argument is not just about being right; it’s about being clear.
This is a toolkit for more effective and logical communication. We explore the timeless power of reason to persuade and to prevail.
