The five canons of rhetoric

 

Disciplines Argument > The five canons of rhetoric

 

The Romans, as well as the Greeks were interested in argument and rhetoric. The five canons of rhetoric appear in a first century Latin text, Rhetorica ad Herennium, which contained four books that detail the rhetorical approach of the day, and was highly influential for many subsequent centuries:

  1. Invention: Finding ways to persuade.
  2. Arrangement: Putting together the structure of a coherent argument.
  3. Style: Presenting the argument to stir the emotions.
  4. Memory: Speaking without having to prepare or memorize a speech.
  5. Delivery: Making effective use of voice, gesture, etc.
