>>509648058That's great. I've mostly studied logic, I'm trying to study more grammar and rhetoric. For grammar I downloaded Wheelock's Latin, because in the Trivium in the classical education it was Latin and Greek grammar they studied. I don't know a lot about rhetoric and I'm trying to find good materials. I have The Trivium by Miriam Joseph, haven't read it, don't know if I will because it's a female author, but anyway it seems like only a small part of it deals with rhetoric, one or two chapters I think it was. I have this book by Isaac Watts which I'm reading. What's interesting is that it seems like what we today call grammar, logic and rhetoric were all called logic in the past, they were taught as a unified system, and this book seems to come from that tradition. It has both grammar and rhetoric. Rhetoric he calls "disposition" or "method", part 4 of the book is about this.

One of the important concepts in rhetoric is the enthymeme. Reading this article was helpful. Also, I read a part of Introduction to Logic by Irving Copi. All logic books I've read had flaws and I think this was no exception, but I think the best thing is to read various materials and learn something from each. Anyway it had a very interesting passage on how an enthymeme can be just one proposition.
