Definition(s)

  • Communication scholars study ethos as a rhetorical construction, as well as a social or cultural formation. A rhetorically constructed ethos is intended to inspire confidence and trust in the speaker's or writer's good sense, good moral character, and good will, which are, according to Aristotle, the components of ethical demonstration.
