Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here, after a quarter century of additional study and reflection, Bitzer presents a new critical edition of George Campbell’s classic. Bitzer provides a more complete review and assessment of Campbell’s work, giving particular emphasis to Campbell’s theological views, which he demonstrates played an important part in Campbell’s overall view of reasoning, feeling, and moral and religious truth. The Rhetoric is widely regarded as the most important statement of a theory of rhetoric produced in the 18th century. Its importance lies, in part, in the fact that the theory is informed by the leading assumptions and themes of the Scottish Enlightenment—the prevailing empiricism, the theory of the association of ideas, the effort to explain natural phenomena by reference to principles and processes of human nature. Campbell’s work engages such themes in an attempt to formulate a universal theory of human communication. Campbell attempts to develop his theory by discovering deep principles in human nature that account for all instances and kinds of human communication. He seeks to derive all communication principles and processes empirically. In addition, all statements in discourse that have to do with matters of fact and human affairs are likewise to be empirically derived. Thus, his theory of rhetoric is vastly wider than, and different from, such classical theories as those proposed by Aristotle, Cicero, and Quintilian, whose theories focused on discourse related to civic affairs. Bitzer shows that, by attempting to elaborate a general theory of rhetoric through empirical procedures, Campbell’s project reveals the limitations of his method. He cannot ground all statements empirically and it is at this point that his theological position comes into play. Inspection of his religious views shows that God’s design of human nature, and God’s revelations to humankind, make moral and spiritual truths known and quite secure to human beings, although not empirically.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philosophy of Eloquence There is, however, one slight change which I have ventured to make, namely, that of dividing the book into four parts, instead of three. Perhaps it is only a matter of choice that in the enumeration of the parts of a house, the foundation is sometimes omitted, sometimes included. The latter course cer tainly appears more in accordance with our usage. Hence the Introduction of the original, which may be regarded as the most important and essential portion of all, is here made the First Part; the other Parts then follow in regular succession. This change affects only the form of the book. The sub stance continues the same as before. The time for the appearance of the bookseems opportune. A great wave of literary revival is passing over Ireland, and we are on the high-road to be a bilingual people, like the Welsh, or the Bretons, or the French Canadians. Nothing can be more just than that the Irish language - one of the most venerable relics of antiquity in the whole world, sheltered in this remote isle of the west from the revolution ary storms of society elsewhere - should be cherished and honoured. What a reproach if it should be appreciated by the most eminent scholars of Europe, and ranked by philologists as of equal importance with Sanscrit, but left by us to perish of cold neglect! Happily the Irish, spoken here from a time long before King Solomon ruled in Jerusalem or King Priam in Troy, that is, for about four thousand years, is still a living language, while Sanscrit has been dead for many centuries; and, con sidering how the Irish race everywhere pros pers under favourable circumstances, there is no reason why the language should not now, when all the world can read and write, attain to a noble literature, worthy of that fame for learning which distinguished Ireland in former days, and of the many precious old manuscriptswhich still remain, though almost unknown to us.

Download or read book Rhetoric and Philosophy in Renaissance Humanism written by Jerrold E. Seigel and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The combination of rhetoric and philosophy appeared in the ancient world through Cicero, and revived as an ideal in the Renaissance. By a careful and precise analysis of the views of four major humanists-Petrarch, Salutati, Bruni, and Valla—Professor Seigel seeks to establish that they were first of all professional rhetoricians, completely committed to the relation between philosophy and rhetoric. He then explores the broader problem of the "external history" of humanism, and reopens basic questions about Renaissance culture. He departs from the views held by such scholars as Hans Baron and Lauro Martines and expands the conclusions suggested by Paul Oskar Kristeller. The result is a stimulating, controversial study that rejects some of the claims made for the humanists and indicates achievements and limitations. Originally published in 1968.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History has shown us that the power of political speech can be put to both positive and manipulative ends - while rhetoric is a powerful tool for those who seek to persuade others to adopt their views, it can also be employed to foment factionalism and undermine the very basis of a democratic society. In this unique study, Marc Hanvelt shows how eighteenth-century philosopher David Hume confronted questions about the negative moral and political effects of rhetoric, and how he differentiated between manipulative and non-manipulative political speech. Drawing on Hume's philosophical, historical, and popular writings, The Politics of Eloquence presents an understanding of rhetoric that can be properly ascribed to this important thinker, an understanding hitherto overlooked in the scholarly literature. Offering an original approach to thinking about political rhetoric – an essential element of democratic politics – Hanvelt makes important contributions to both Hume scholarship and to broader areas in political theory and philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Eloquence of Mary Astell makes an important contribution to the knowledge and understanding of the important role that women, and one woman in particular, played in the history of rhetoric. Mary Astell (1666-1731) was an unusually perceptive thinker and writer during the time of the Enlightenment. Here, author Christine Sutherland explores her importance as a rhetorician, an area that has, until recently, received little attention. Astell was widely known and respected during her own time, but her influence and reputation receded in the years after her death. Her importance as an Enlightenment thinker is becoming more and more recognized, however. As a skilled theorist and practitioner of rhetoric, Astell wrote extensively on education, philosophy, politics, religion, and the status of women. She showed that it was possible for a woman to move from the semi-private form of rhetoric represented by conversation and letters into full public participation in philosophical and political debate.
