1. logos

   Logos is a Greek word meaning reason or logic. In rhetoric, it refers to the use of logical and rational arguments to persuade an audience. It is one of the three modes of persuasion identified by Aristotle, along with ethos (credibility) and pathos (emotional appeal). Logos can also refer to the internal consistency of a message, i.e., clarity of claim, logical reasons, effectiveness of evidence and support, and logical organization. In theology, logos refers to the divine reason or plan that coordinates a changing universe. It is also used in reference to the 'Word of God' or 'Divine Wisdom' in Christian theology, particularly in regard to the teachings of Jesus Christ in the Gospel of John.

1. Logos

   Logos is an important term in philosophy, psychology, rhetoric, and religion. Originally a word meaning "a ground", "a plea", "an opinion", "an expectation", "word," "speech," "account," "reason," it became a technical term in philosophy, beginning with Heraclitus, who used the term for a principle of order and knowledge. Ancient philosophers used the term in different ways. The sophists used the term to mean discourse, and Aristotle applied the term to refer to "reasoned discourse" or "the argument" in the field of rhetoric. The Stoic philosophers identified the term with the divine animating principle pervading the Universe. Under Hellenistic Judaism, Philo adopted the term into Jewish philosophy. The Gospel of John identifies the Logos, through which all things are made, as divine, and further identifies Jesus as the incarnate Logos. Although the term "Logos" is widely used in this Christian sense, in academic circles it often refers to the various ancient Greek uses, or to post-Christian uses within contemporary philosophy, Sufism, and the analytical psychology of Carl Jung.
