Philosophical Rhetoric: The Function of Indirection in Philosophical Writing

Whether philosophers are for or against the use of rhetoric, they engage in rhetorical practice nonetheless. Jeff Mason examines the attempts of philosophers from Plato through Wittgenstein to persuade their audiences of the truth. This book should be of interest to students and teachers of critical theory, philosophy of language and mind, discourse theory.

Philosophy

Routledge

This book, originally published in 1989 discusses an issue central to all philosophical argument – the relation between persuasion and truth. The techniques of persuasion are indirect and not always fully transparent. Whether philosophers and theoreticians are for or against the use of rhetoric, they engage in rhetorical practice none the less. Focusing on Plato, Descartes, Kant, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and Wittgenstein, this book uncovers philosophical rhetoric at work and reminds us of the rhetorical arena in which philosophical writings are produced and considered.

The Future of Thinking: Rhetoric and Liberal Arts Teaching

Learning to think is a complex process made up of reading, writing listening, speaking and remembering textual materials. The aim of this topical book is to encourage practical educational reform in the Humanities by taking the emphasis away from the reception of texts to their production. Adapting rhetorical teaching methods, the authors encourage students to participate in the activities of thinking giving them short written and verbal exercises to develop conceptual competences and linguistics skills. It is argued that these methods can be implemented successfully across a wide number of humanities subjects and that they encourage the development of practical transferable skills, both cognitive and linguistic. The authors have used these methods successfully in class, and the book includes sample exercises, the initial results, and feedback from their students.
