Abstract

The rhetoric, which is to convince the purpose, is defined as the ability to discover convincing arguments simply by speaking skills. In this way, rhetoric is seen as the art of having the right to speak or to hold the power of the word in order to be believable. Now, that which is persuasive is persuasive in reference to someone, and is persuasive and convincing either at once and in and by itself, or because it appears to be proved by propositions that are convincing. At first, the statement is convincing without any other reason because it is self-explanatory. On the other hand, the statement is convincing to make any other plausible explanation or reasoning. But here a problem arises: Is it the truth to convince or speak convincingly? The aim of the study, within the framework of this problem, is to clarify the question of whether demonstrations of Aristotle's rhetoric, which he put forward to convince, is the truth or the possible truth.
