Primes¶
- Enthymeme
- In rhetoric, the Aristotelian origin, the enthymeme is the canonical form of practical persuasion — the syllogism of rhetoric — since most everyday persuasive arguments have a missing premise and effective speakers shape arguments around what the audience already believes.
This sourceOriginates the enthymeme as the "rhetorical syllogism" — the body of practical persuasion — an argument that draws on premises the audience already holds and leaves them unstated. (Linked: Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, "Aristotle's Rhetoric," which documents the enthymeme as the rhetorical deduction with a suppressed premise supplied by the audience.)

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 4 citations: 1 supported, 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
