Last week the topic stasis was covered the week before kairos. Now is when the reading gets into some more theory instead of terminology. I try really hard to remember that even though our readings are split up, all of the topic are related and intertwined. Before I had mentioned that with a greater understanding of stasis, kairos could be more easily achieved.
This week the reading mainly discusses how topics of rhetoric were classified and how those are generally handled. The topics are normally split up into three categories: past, present and future. Although, those were given new terms: conjecture, degree and possibility. As rhetors it is important to discuss the classifications of the problems at hand. If that isn't known then the rhetors aren't seeing a problem for what it actually is.
