- Limited Edition
- Ref: 655390
Using the distraction of the beautiful woman, he is trying to lead the sheep away from the shepherd, away from logic. He looks nervous and rightly so: if Logic notices, she will kill him.
The wolf represents sophistic rhetoric.
The sheep represent thoughts. One thought follows another, without going in any particular direction.
We need to gather our thoughts, to direct our thinking.
4 types of rhetoric:
Logic – the Dove
Eristic – the Apple
Dialectic – the Hand
Sophistic – the Wolf
