In Episode #3 of Masters of Rhetoric, we turn to the towering intellect of Aristotle who was a student of Plato, teacher of Alexander the Great, and the philosopher who systematized logic, rhetoric, ethics, and science. This episode explores Aristotle’s groundbreaking contributions to rhetorical theory, including his three modes of persuasion: ethos, pathos, and logos. We also examine his divergence from Plato’s idealism, his emphasis on empirical observation, and his lasting influence on both classical and modern thought. Join us as we unpack Aristotle’s practical approach to rhetoric and the enduring power of clear, reasoned communication.


*Welcome to a journey into the origins of thought, where we explore the minds that shaped the very foundations of our understanding. Hello, my name is Mike and I am the host of Mind Escape Podcast. I am happy to share my new series called Masters of Rhetoric. Masters of Rhetoric is a course/podcast. The goal is to draw from the earliest philosophers, scientists, and critical thinkers to help navigate the current technological paradigm. In a world where divisive and eristic rhetoric often dominates online spaces, I believe it’s crucial to return to the roots of dialectic. This approach can offer the thoughtful discourse that humanity desperately needs today.
