LOGIC & RHETORIC
I would agree that logic is natural because logic provides a direction for reasoning. Logic is the way people ought to reason. How people actually reason is not natural, rather it is an application learned. Rhetoric is an application of logic. Rhetoric is the “art or technique of persuasion” (Wikipedia, Rhetoric) used to express and clarify logic. Since rhetoric is concerned with persuasive arguments, in some sense, rhetoric is contrasted with logic. Although logic and rhetoric do go hand in hand since logic is the science of reasoning and rhetoric is the technique of persuasion. Rhetoric can be used to express logical views and persuade others into believing in their truth.
