Reviews
A creative exploration in contemporary rhetorical theory. This book rigorously examines concepts central to recent critical thinking as it argues for its own original perspective on ethics and rhetoric. Ira Allen writes in a lively, accessible style as he insightfully works through difficult philosophical material."" - Steven Mailloux, President's Professor of Rhetoric, Loyola Marymount University
""An ambitious project-significant for the discipline of rhetoric and fields that draw from it, and relevant both to the historical concerns of rhetoric and to contemporary issues in rhetorical theory. Allen makes an extremely well-informed case. His readings are fresh and grounded in extensive knowledge."" - James Crosswhite, University of Oregon
