The three examples of appeal to logic can be found in the following paragraphs:
- Every realist knows that the democratic way of life is at this moment being directly assailed in every part of the world—assailed either by arms, or by secret spreading of poisonous propaganda by those who seek to destroy unity and promote discord in nations that are still at peace. (23)
- Therefore, as your President, performing my constitutional duty to "give to the Congress information of the state of the Union," I find it, unhappily, necessary to report that the future and the safety of our country and of our democracy are overwhelmingly involved in events far beyond our borders. (26)
- Armed defense of democratic existence is now being gallantly waged in four continents. If that defense fails, all the population and all the resources of Europe, Asia, Africa, and Austral-Asia will be dominated by the conquerors. (27)
The appeal to logic is called logos and is presented as a way of showing clear and simple reasoning that shows the logical relationship between two or more elements. Regarding how Roosevelt used this appeal in the paragraphs above, we can state that:
- In paragraph 23, he shows the logos by claiming that Democracy is being attacked because there are people who want to destroy it.
- In paragraph 26, he presents the logos when informing that the president must inform the country's security dangers, for that reason, he is making this speech.
- In paragraph 27, he introduces the logos by informing that if the armed defense fails, the conquerors will be able to dominate free countries.
Roosevelt mixes logos with pathos (appeal to emotion) in his arguments, being very persuasive.
That question is about the speech "Four Freedoms Speech."
