You will need to quote 2 of the sources below in your answer using the correct MLA format for each in-text citation. Do not write a Works Cited section (there is no need to do that). Why is it important to steelman the counterargument? Can/do people "see" the truth (or even the data) for what it actually is? Mention examples from class that illustrated illusion and differences in perception. Each example from class illustrated a different but related issue. People can learn to perceive more or more accurately in some areas, but not in all. What does this mean for you as a truth seeker and sharer? Language from sources: 1. rhetoric very much draws from persuasion as will become clear in later chapters. Without successful persuasion there is no successful rhetoric. [quoted language from Myllylä "Ethos, pathos, and logos: .... " 2019, page 4] 2. Aristotle recognized the inherent truth that “[w]e believe good men more fully and more readily than others: this is true generally whatever the question is, and absolutely true where exact certainty is impossible and opinions are divided.” Thus, in a case where there is no definite logical outcome, or even in the case where there may or may not be such an outcome, the audience’s perception of the credibility of the persuader plays a key role in whether persuasion is achieved. [quoted language from McCormack, title Ethos, Pathos and Logos, year 2014, page 136] 3. Rather than saying that perception can be veridical or non-veridical, authors nowadays prefer to think of perceptual experience as something with accuracy instead of truth conditions. [quoted language from Zahnoun "Truth or accuracy?" page 643, year 2020] !!! Veridical is an adjective meaning truthful, genuine, or real.
