Since it is evident that artistic method is concerned with pisteis and since pisteis is a sort of apodeixis (for we must believe when we suppose something to have been demonstrated) and since rhetorical apodeixis is enthymeme (and this is, generally speaking, the strongest of the pisteis) and the enthymeme is a sort of syllogism (and it is a function of dialectic, either as a whole or one of its parts, to see about every syllogism equally), it is clear that he who is best able to see from what materials, and how, a syllogism arises would also be most enthymematic…

I’m thoroughly regretting taking rhetoric right now.

[FWIW I still regret it, and have no idea how I'm going to write two papers.]

Good lord, that almost makes me want to fish my deconstructionism textbooks out of their box and pat them lovingly.
