“Rhetoric can be defined as the ability to find the means by which we can be persuasive in each specific case (on any topic): to win over our audience […] Just as in dialectic there is induction, (real) reasoning, and apparent reasoning, in the same way in rhetoric there is induction (example) and reasoning (reminder). […] Rhetoric does not concern itself with what is persuasive for a specific individual, but rather for people in general or for this type of people. It discusses topics that provoke disputes among people, and it discusses them in front of an audience that is not able to follow a complex chain of reasoning.
There are three constituent elements of rhetorical discourse: the speaker, the topic he is speaking about, and, thirdly, the audience. The audience is either a mere spectator or a judge, and judge in a double sense: either to judge things that have already happened or to judge and decide on things that are about to happen; the mere spectator is there only to admire the art of the speaker. Therefore, depending on the goal of the discourse, we can distinguish three kinds of rhetorical speeches: the advisory, the judicial, and the demonstrative speech.”
