What is the logical appeal in a modest proposals?

In Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal," the logical appeal, or logos, is evident in the way he presents a seemingly rational solution to the problem of poverty and overpopulation in Ireland. By suggesting the consumption of infants as a means to reduce the poor population and provide economic benefit, Swift employs satirical logic to highlight the absurdity of treating people as commodities. His use of statistical data and economic arguments adds a veneer of rationality, forcing readers to confront the moral implications of their own views on poverty and social responsibility. This stark contrast between logical presentation and ethical outrage sharpens the critique of societal indifference.
