An appeal to logic or Logical Appeal or Logos, is one of persuasion method, in which the speaker makes an appeal to the audience on the basis of facts and reasoning. Other two persuasion methods are "ethos" or appeal to audience of author's character, and "pathos" an appeal to emotion, in which the speaker persuade his audience on the basis of emotions or bringing the emotions that will connect to his audience in his speech.
