  1      I, 1 |           produce conviction. For argument based on knowledge implies
  2      I, 1 |           modes of persuasion and argument, notions possessed by everybody,
  3      I, 2 |         at a glance a complicated argument, or follow a long chain
  4      I, 2 |          proposition be true, the argument is refutable, since it does
  5      I, 2 |        that he has a fever". This argument also is refutable, even
  6      I, 2 |       former is an "example". The argument may, for instance, be that
  7      I, 2 |     regular or universal Lines of Argument are concerned, that is to
  8      I, 2 |          is to say those lines of argument that apply equally to questions
  9      I, 2 |         for instance, the line of argument concerned with "the more
 10      I, 2 |         or less". On this line of argument it is equally easy to base
 11      I, 2 |       also those special Lines of Argument which are based on such
 12      I, 2 |  throughout. The general Lines of Argument have no special subject-matter,
 13      I, 2 |     suitable for special Lines of Argument, the nearer one comes, unconsciously,
 14      I, 2 |    particular or special Lines of Argument; comparatively few on the
 15      I, 2 |          and the general Lines of Argument on which they are to be
 16      I, 2 |      founded. By special Lines of Argument I mean the propositions
 17      I, 2 |         with the special Lines of Argument. But, first of all, let
 18      I, 7 |           has been implied in our argument. Likewise, that which is
 19      I, 8 |      demonstrative but by ethical argument; it helps a speaker to convince
 20      I, 9 |          general, of the lines of argument which are common to all
 21      I, 12|        bad names. Or the opposite argument may appeal to you: your
 22      I, 15|      proofs.~Concerning contracts argument can be so far employed as
 23     II, 1 |          not only try to make the argument of his speech demonstrative
 24     II, 3 |          draw upon these lines of argument; you must put your hearers
 25     II, 18|    besides their special lines of argument, are bound to use, for instance,
 26     II, 18|  above-mentioned general lines of argument, that concerned with Amplification
 27     II, 20|       special forms of oratorical argument having now been discussed,
 28     II, 20|            We will first treat of argument by Example, for it has the
 29     II, 20|           reasoning. This form of argument has two varieties; one consisting
 30     II, 20|           parallel is the sort of argument Socrates used: e.g. "Public
 31     II, 20|    Enthymemes: that will give the argument an inductive air, which
 32     II, 20|      stated how many varieties of argument by Example there are, and
 33     II, 21|        apart from the rest of the argument, are Maxims: e.g.~Never
 34     II, 22|   distinct question, the lines of argument to be embodied in them.
 35     II, 22|        back, or the length of our argument will cause obscurity: nor
 36     II, 22|     remember is this. Whether our argument concerns public affairs
 37     II, 22|      which refers to the lines of argument selected. We will now consider
 38     II, 22|          same thing as a "line of argument".) We will begin, as we
 39     II, 22|         in our hands the lines of argument for the various special
 40     II, 22|          ascertained the lines of argument applicable to enthymemes
 41     II, 22|        and also of those lines of argument used in what seems to be
 42     II, 23|           less likely. Again, the argument that a man who strikes his
 43     II, 23|        strike his neighbours. The argument, then, may run thus. Or
 44     II, 23|           is or is not true. This argument might also be used in a
 45     II, 23|        whole".~5. Another line of argument is based on considerations
 46     II, 23|            But the use of such an argument is in all cases ridiculous
 47     II, 23|          gods exist." Or take the argument of Iphicrates, "Goodness
 48     II, 23|         issue.~8. Another line of argument is founded upon the various
 49     II, 23|           Another instance is the argument of Alcidamas: "Every one
 50     II, 23|      prosper.~11. Another line of argument is founded upon some decision
 51     II, 23|          way.~12. Another line of argument consists in taking separately
 52     II, 23|     consequences, another line of argument consists in using those
 53     II, 23|           made up of this line of argument, with the addition of those
 54     II, 23|    described.~14. Another line of argument is used when we have to
 55     II, 23| divarication.~15. Another line of argument is this: The things people
 56     II, 23|         effective of the forms of argument that contradict common opinion.~
 57     II, 23|           17. Another line is the argument that if two results are
 58     II, 23|         best.~18. Another line of argument is based on the fact that
 59     II, 23|        homes.~19. Another line of argument is the assertion that some
 60     II, 23|       prowess unto Greece.~Or the argument in the Ajax of Theodectes,
 61     II, 23|     possible.~20. Another line of argument is common to forensic and
 62     II, 23|    Callippus.~21. Another line of argument refers to things which are
 63     II, 23|          it."~22. Another line of argument is to refute our opponent’
 64     II, 23|           so.~24. Another line of argument is to show that if the cause
 65     II, 23|         chooses what is bad. This argument is, however, fallacious,
 66     II, 23|       other. This special line of argument for enthymeme forms the
 67     II, 23|       steel in name.~This line of argument is common in praises of
 68     II, 24|        not.~1. Among the lines of argument that form the Spurious Enthymeme
 69     II, 24|        different things; e.g. the argument that the mouse must be a
 70     II, 24|      statement. There is also the argument that one who knows the letters
 71     II, 24|        things." The whole line of argument is fallacious. Again, there
 72     II, 24|        them up one by one. Or the argument in the Orestes of Theodectes,
 73     II, 24|          of Theodectes, where the argument is from part to whole:~"
 74     II, 24|           took.~6. Another is the argument from consequence. In the
 75     II, 24|           behave. Another similar argument points out that beggars
 76     II, 24|           circumstances. E.g. the argument that Paris was justified
 77     II, 24|   specific. It is of this line of argument that Corax’s Art of Rhetoric
 78     II, 24|           mentioned. This sort of argument illustrates what is meant
 79     II, 24|         meant by making the worse argument seem the better. Hence people
 80     II, 25|           is their Refutation.~An argument may be refuted either by
 81     II, 25|         it as not inevitable. Any argument based upon what usually
 82     II, 25|          a negative instance, the argument is refuted, in so far as
 83     II, 26|           of these is the line of argument of an enthymeme; no more,
 84    III, 1 |      special and general lines of argument for enthymemes.~Our next
 85    III, 2 |        that upsets the fallacious argument of the sophist Bryson, that
 86    III, 9 |           the effect of a logical argument; it is by putting two opposing
 87    III, 10|        said is concerned, make an argument acceptable. So far as the
 88    III, 13|         case, the second part the Argument, just as we distinguish
 89    III, 13|         are the Statement and the Argument. These are the essential
 90    III, 13|          Introduction, Statement, Argument, and Epilogue. "Refutation
 91    III, 14|         fast to it and follow the argument. So we find—~Sing, O goddess
 92    III, 15|           prejudice, one class of argument is that whereby you can
 93    III, 15|           merits of his case. The argument from evidential circumstances
 94    III, 17|        was justified or not. This argument must therefore be used in
 95    III, 17|        statements also are false. Argument by "example" is highly suitable
 96    III, 17|   suitable for political oratory, argument by "enthymeme" better suits
 97    III, 17|         has attacked the silliest argument first. So much for the Arguments.~
 98    III, 18|         is when one premiss of an argument is obviously true, and you
 99    III, 18|           to see the drift of his argument in advance. This point,
100    III, 19|          managed-by what lines of argument you are to represent people
101    III, 19|      present. The proper lines of argument to be used for this purpose
102    III, 19|           pugnacity. The lines of argument to be used for these purposes
