Thus, in proportion as "imagination" went up in the scale of motivational values, one might come to speak of an appeal to the imagination in many instances which classical theory might have treated as persuasion by the appeals of pathos and ethos (appeals to "emotion" and by "character" or personality," (81, Burke's emphasis).
