Re: A Note On Enthymeme

Kirsti,

Aristotle's approach to rhetoric is one of the bridges to Peirce's pragmatism.
It treats forms of argument that "consider the audience", in effect, that take
the nature and present condition of the interpreter into account, and it deals
with enthymemes, syllogisms some of whose premisses are "held in mind", that is,
implicit in the presenting state of belief or knowledge base of the interpreter.

Regards,

Jon
