Aristotle, it is true, in his
Gryllus1 produces some tentative arguments to
[p. 333]
the contrary, which are marked by characteristic
ingenuity. On the other hand he also wrote three
books on the art of rhetoric, in the first of which
he not merely admits that rhetoric is an art, but
treats it as a department of politics and also of
logic.
