Of Trinity College, Cambridge, Professor of Mathematics in University College, London, on His Claim to an Independent Re-Discovery of a New Principle in the Theory of SyllogismOn looking at a proposition so called, I find it is in truth several propositions, that is, there are several distinct assertions, each of which is a contradiction of the proposition.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In From Hysteria to Hormones, Amy Koerber examines the rhetorical activity that preceded the early twentieth-century emergence of the word hormone and the impact of this word on expert understandings of women&rsquo,s health.Shortly after Ernest Henry Starling coined the term &ldquo,hormone&rdquo, in 1905, hormones began to provide a chemical explanation for bodily phenomena that were previously understood in terms of &ldquo,wandering wombs,&rdquo, humors, energies, and balance. In this study, Koerber posits that the discovery of hormones was not so much a revolution as an exigency that required old ways of thinking to be twisted, reshaped, and transformed to fit more scientific turn-of-the-century expectations of medical practices. She engages with texts from a wide array of medical and social scientific subdisciplines, with material from medical archives, including patient charts, handwritten notes, and photographs from the Salpê,triè,re Hospital, where Dr. Jean Charcot treated hundreds of hysteria patients in the late nineteenth century, and with current rhetorical theoretical approaches to the study of health and medicine. In doing so, Koerber shows that the boundary between older, nonscientific ways of understanding women&rsquo,s bodies and newer, scientific understandings is much murkier than we might expect.A clarifying examination of how the term &ldquo,hormones&rdquo, preserves key concepts that have framed our understanding of women&rsquo,s bodies from ancient times to the present, this innovative book illuminates the ways in which the words we use today to discuss female reproductive health aren&rsquo,t nearly as scientifically accurate or socially progressive as believed. Scholars of rhetoric, gender studies, and women&rsquo,s health will find Koerber&rsquo,s work provocative and valuable._,

Confessional Crises and Cultural Politics in Twentieth-Century America revolutionizes how we think about confession and its ubiquitous place in American culture. It argues that the sheer act of labeling a text a confession has become one of the most powerful, and most overlooked, forms of intervening in American cultural politics. In the twentieth century alone, the genre of confession has profoundly shaped (and been shaped by) six of Americas most intractable cultural issues

Excerpt from A New LogicFrom the professional logician I can expect no mercy. I have attacked his most cherished opinions, disputed his most sacred dogmas, and have held up to derision his most revered authorities. To him I am that most noxious of all vermin, the irregular practitioner, and I expect him to deal with me faith fully, after the manner of the orthodox to the heterodox. If he would only restrict his choice of weapons to those that are in the arsenal of Traditional Logic, I should rest in the complacent security of a modern battleship attacked by bows and arrows, but no logician reasons syllogistically, except in the formal argu ments with which he illustrates the syllogism, and the arrows that pierce me will be winged with feathers plucked from my own logical tail.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Growing numbers of scholars, practitioners, politicians, and citizens recognize the value of deliberative civic engagement processes that enable citizens and governments to come together in public spaces and engage in constructive dialogue, informed discussion, and decisive deliberation. This book seeks to fill a gap in empirical studies in deliberative democracy by studying the assembly of the Australian Citizens Parliament (ACP), which took place in Canberra on February 6-8, 2009. The ACP addressed the question How can the Australian political system be strengthened to serve us better? The ACPs Canberra assembly is the first large-scale, face-to-face deliberative project to be completely audio-recorded and transcribed, enabling an unprecedented level of qualitative and quantitative assessment of participants actual spoken discourse. Each chapter reports on different research questions for different purposes to benefit different audiences. Combined, they exhibit how diverse modes of research focused on a single event can enhance both theoretical and practical knowledge about deliberative democracy._,

A new pragmatic approach, based on the latest developments in argumentation theory, analyzing appeal to expert opinion as a form of argument.Reliance on authority has always been a common recourse in argumentation, perhaps never more so than today in our highly technological society when knowledge has become so specialized-as manifested, for instance, in the frequent appearance of expert witnesses in courtrooms. When is an appeal to the opinion of an expert a reasonable type of argument to make, and when does it become a fallacy? This book provides a method for the evaluation of these appeals in everyday argumentation.Specialized domains of knowledge such as science, medicine, law, and government policy have gradually taken over as the basis on which many of our rational decisions are made daily. Consequently, appeal to expert opinion in these areas has become a powerful type of argument. Challenging an argument based on expert scientific opinion, for example, has become as difficult as it once was to question religious authority.Walton stresses that even in cases where expert opinion is divided, the effect of it can still be so powerful that it overwhelms an individuals ability to make a decision based on personal deliberation of what is right or wrong in a given situation. The book identifies the requirements that make an appeal to expert opinion a reasonable or unreasonable argument. Waltons new pragmatic approach analyzes that appeal as a distinctive form of argument, with an accompanying set of appropriate critical questions matching the form. Throughout the book, a historical survey of the key developments in the evolution of the argument from authority, dating from the time of the ancients, is given, and new light is shed on current problems of junk science and battles between experts in legal argumentation._,
