Rhetoric   is the art of using language with persuasive effect. Aristotle wrote the classic book on the subject, On Rhetoric , in the 4th century BC. For centuries, the study of rhetoric—the ability to speak in public and to move audiences with logic, emotion and credibility—was an important component of many educational systems.
