Excerpt from Système de Logique Déductive Et Inductive, Vol. 2

It has become a common complaint among academics and community leaders that citizens today are not what they used to be. Nowhere is this decline seen to be more troubling than when the focus is on young Americans. Compared to the youth of past generations, todays young adults, so the story goes, spend too much time watching television, playing video games, and surfing the Internet. As a result, American democracy is in trouble. The Evolving Citizen challenges this decline thesis and argues instead that democratic engagement has not gotten worse-it has simply changed. Through an analysis of seven high school newspapers from 1965 to 2010, this book shows that young people today, according to what they have to say for themselves, are just as enmeshed in civic and political life as the adolescents who came before them. American youth remain good citizens concerned about their communities and hopeful that they can help make a difference. But as The Evolving Citizen demonstrates, todays youth understand and perform their roles as citizens differently because the world they live in has changed remarkably over the last half century._,

While rhetoric as a discipline is firmly planted in humanism and anthropology, posthumanism seeks to leave the human behind. This highly original examination of Kenneth Burke&rsquo,s thought grapples with these ostensibly contradictory concepts as opportunities for invention, revision, and, importantly, transdisciplinary knowledge making.Rather than simply mapping posthumanist rhetorics onto Burke&rsquo,s scholarship, Kenneth Burke + The Posthuman focuses on the multiplicity of ideas found both in his work and in the idea of posthumanism. Taking varied approaches organized within a framework of boundaries and futures, the contributors show that studying the humanist theories of Burke in this way creates a satisfyingly chaotic web of interconnections. The essays look at how Burke&rsquo,s writing on the human mind and technology, from his earliest works to his very latest revisions, interrelates with current concepts such as new materiality and coevolution. Throughout, the contributors pay close attention to the fluidity, concerns, and contradictions inherent in language, symbolism, and subjectivity.A unique, illuminating exploration of the contested relationship between bodies and language, this inherently transdisciplinary book will propel important future inquiry by scholars of rhetoric, Burke, and posthumanism.In addition to the editors, the contributors are Casey Boyle, Kristie Fleckenstein, Nathan Gale, Julie Jung, Steven B. Katz, Steven LeMieux, Jodie Nicotra, Jeff Pruchnic, Timothy Richardson, Thomas Rickert, and Robert Wess._,

Excerpt from Beyträge zur Berichtigung Bisheriger Missverständnisse der Philosophen, Vol. 1

Is there any place in America where passionate debate plays a more vital role in democratic discourse than local school board meetings? Karen Tracy conducted a thirty-five-month study of the board meetings of the Boulder Valley School District between 1996 and 1999 to analyze just how democracy operates in practice. In Challenges of Ordinary Democracy, she reveals the major role that emotion plays in real-life debate and discerns value in what might easily be seen as negative forms of discourse-voicing platitudes, making contradictory assertions, arguing over a documents wording, speaking angrily, attacking a persons character. By illuminating this one arena of ordinary democracy, Tracy hopes to engender a new appreciation for how what she calls reasonable hostility can be a desirable ideal of communication for debating public policy issues._,

Excerpt from The Principles of Written DiscourseIt has been specially prepared for use in our higher collegiate classes and assumes a familiarity, on the stu dents part, with some elementary manual, as - Hart, Haven, Jameson or Kellogg. We believe that it will thus meet an urgent need in our more advanced rhetori cal teaching and give to the student a healthful stimulus in this most important branch of liberal culture. We present a discussion of the subject that is substantially complete, while the various principles are sufficiently illus trated to confirm their correctness and guide the student.We desire, moreover, to state that while the treatise is so systematized and presented as to answer the purposes of class-room instruction, we have been anxious to make it a readable book for literary students at large. This is especially true of Part II. - a division of the work to which we would invite special attention. We have aimed to place Discourse upon a basis from which it cannot be permanently moved and so to co-ordinate it with all our mental processes and activities that it shall rise at once from a mechanical artifice of the schools to an essential Science and a practical Art and be seen to be instinct with intellectual and moral life. If students of Discourse are in any wise helped by it to higher views and better work in the special department with which it deals, we shall have realized our fondest h0pes. T. W.

Authority Figures uncovers the essential but largely unrecognized place of rhetoric in John Lockes political and philosophical thought. This book traces the close ties between rhetoric and experience as they form the basis for a theory and practice of judgment at the center of his work. His well known hostility to rhetoric has obscured an important debt to figural and inventive language. Recognizing this debt sets the stage for a new understanding of the Two Treatises of Government in which the material and creative force of language is necessary for political critique._,

Excerpt from Choice Over Uncertainty and Ambiguity in Technical Problem SolvingTechnical problem solving is central to the management of technology and innovation. The notion that uncertainty and ambiguity are selected in the problem framing process affects our understanding of such problem solving. It is important to focus attention on this selection process, since this is the point at which the nature of the subsequent problem-solving process as well as its potential outcome are determined to a great extent.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
