| If people are regarded only as machines guided by logic, as they were by some "scientistic" thinkers, rhetoric
 is likely to be held in low regard; for the most obvious
 truth about rhetoric is that it speaks to the whole person.
 It presents its arguments first to the person as a rational
 being. Logical argument is the plot, as it were, of any
 speech or essay that is respectfully intended to persuade
 people. Yet it is a characterizing feature of rhetoric that it
 goes beyond this and appeals to the parts of our nature
 that are involved in feeling, desiring, acting, and suffering.
 It recalls relevant instances of the emotional reactions of
 people to circumstances-real or fictional-that are similar
 to our own circumstances.
