Best Answer

Logos is Greek for "principle of reason".

The study of logic itself has been a science for as long as Western philosophy has been in existence.

The application of logic, which is assumed to be universal, used to either prove or refute a particular point is rhetoric. For Aristotle - rhetoric was an art because "it can be reduced to a systematically categorised construct". This has been disagreed with by many (see e.g. R.M.Pirsig "Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance").

It is believed to be an art scientifically because of the multiplicity of approaches available to a rhetorician, thus allowing a spontaneous individual mode of expression.

The first prominent rhetorician was Socrates, who used logic to disprove everything, relying solely on the principles his interlocutor could not disagree with.
