Download or read book Ars Topica written by Sara Rubinelli and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-04-14 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ars Topica is the first full-length study of the nature and development of topoi, the conceptual ancestors of modern argument schemes, between Aristotle and Cicero. Aristotle and Cicero configured topoi in a way that influenced the subsequent tradition. Their work on the topos-system grew out of an interest in creating a theory of argumentation which could stand between the rigour of formal logic and the emotive potential of rhetoric. This system went through a series of developments and transformations resulting from the interplay between the separate aims of gaining rhetorical effectiveness and of maintaining dialectical standards. Ars Topica presents a comprehensive treatment of Aristotle’s and Cicero’s methods of topoi and, by exploring their relationship, it illuminates an area of ancient rhetoric and logic which has been obscured for more than two thousand years. Through an interpretation which is philologically rooted in the historical context of topoi, the book lays the ground for evaluating the relevance of the classical approaches to modern research on arguments, and at the same time provides an introduction to Greek and Roman theory of argumentation focussed on its most important theoretical achievements.

Download or read book Mastering the Four Arguments written by Prof Gregory L Roper and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-09 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How Arguments Work A fundamental component of good writing was well known throughout the classical world . . . but is all but forgotten today. This concise, practical guide reclaims that ancient tradition. It shows you the simple way to craft persuasive arguments in and out of the classroom. In three decades teaching writing, Professor Gregory Roper has seen that students often fall apart when they get into the meat of their argument. He struggled to help them until he discovered this neglected piece of classical rhetoric. The dry name--stasis theory--obscures how practical this ancient device is. It teaches you that there are really only four kinds of arguments. Even better, the Four Arguments follow a sequence. By laying out that sequence, Dr. Roper takes the guesswork out of organizing your writing. Mastering the Four Arguments is full of practical advice. Dr. Roper breaks down each of the Four Arguments to show you the questions to answer and the tasks to accomplish. Every chapter includes helpful exercises so you can put these techniques into practice--right away. Dr. Roper also teaches you how mastering the Four Arguments helps you in any academic course--and in the real world. You'll know how to make a persuasive case whether you're writing a term paper or presenting to your boss. You'll even become a better reader and listener. Arguments are all around us--about politics, the economy, sports, music, you name it. Once you understand the Four Arguments, you will know a good or bad argument when you see one. And you will know how to respond more thoughtfully. Unlike other writing textbooks, Mastering the Four Arguments is slim, engaging . . . and affordable. Like Dr. Roper's first book, The Writer's Workshop, it is sure to become a go-to guide for students and teachers. Homeschoolers, classical schools, high schools, and colleges will turn to Mastering the Four Arguments.
Book Synopsis Arguing Across the Disciplines by : Stuart Hirschberg
Download or read book Arguing Across the Disciplines written by Stuart Hirschberg and published by Addison-Wesley Longman. This book was released on 2006-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arguing Across the Disciplines is the only text of its kind combining instruction in argumentation with writing across the disciplines through discussion of a diverse selection of classic and contemporary arguments. The anthology features over 50 thought-provoking arguments organized by broad curricular areas (the Liberal Arts, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences) that include disciplines such as architecture, bioethics, communication, economics, engineering, epidemiology, and literature-ideal for first year students still undecided in their field(s) of study. Features: The comprehensive discussion of argument in Part I includes claim types, classical appeals, the Toulmin model, Rogerian argument, inductive and deductive reasoning, and refutation while also demonstrating the essential skills emphasized in WAC programs: summary, analysis, and synthesis. "Questions for Writing and Discussion" appear throughout Part I and offer students informal writing opportunities in which they can apply theory to practice on a range of issues that are both enduring and topical. Each reading in the anthology, Part II, is accompanied by four types of questions designed to generate discussion and provide writing opportunities: "Engaging the Text" helps students focus on the most important information in each reading; "Evaluating the Argument" encourages students to analyze how each argument is constructed and supported; "Exploring the Issue" provides opportunities for students to think about the subjects of each reading beyond the text; "Connecting Different Perspectives" ask students to make intertextual connections among the readings. "Reading Visual Texts as Arguments" (Ch. 8) explains how to interpret visual texts and use images to illustrate and develop arguments. "Writing Arguments from Sources" (Ch. 9) includes three sample student research papers, one each in MLA, APA, and CSE styles. Two alternate Tables of Contents organized by Rhetorical Patterns and by Subject/ Theme accommodate a variety of teaching approaches for maximum instructor flexibility. Visit us at www.ablongman.com
Book Synopsis Essays on Classical Rhetoric and Modern Discourse by : Robert J. Connors
Download or read book Essays on Classical Rhetoric and Modern Discourse written by Robert J. Connors and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 1984 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eighteen essays by leading scholars in English, speech communication, education, and philosophy explore the vitality of the classical rhetorical tradition and its influence on both contemporary discourse studies and the teaching of writing. Some of the essays investigate theoretical and historical issues. Others show the bearing of classical rhetoric on contemporary problems in composition, thus blending theory and practice. Common to the varied approaches and viewpoints expressed in this volume is one central theme: the 20th-century revival of rhetoric entails a recovery of the classical tradition, with its marriage of a rich and fully articulated theory with an equally efficacious practice. A preface demonstrates the contribution of Edward P. J.Corbett to the 20th-century revival, and a last chapter includes a bibliography of his works.

Download or read book Logos written by J. G. F. Powell and published by University of London Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the ancient world Classical rhetoric and its practices raised major ethical doubts and questions which have continued to affect - even to prejudice - our judgment of orators and oratory today. One of the key components of practical oratory was rational argument. The six chapters in this volume examine different aspects of the role of rational argument in Classical oratory and rhetoric and its later tradition. Michael Gagarin discusses the role of argumentation in the works of Antiphon, the earliest Greek orator whose continuous texts survive. Christos Kremmydas analyses the argumentative strategies in a political speech of Demosthenes, the attack on the law of Leptines (Demosthenes 20). Two chapters then focus on Cicero: Jakob Wisse discusses Cicero's self-conscious use of logical structure and the ancient theory of the classification of issues (so-called stasis theory) while Lynn Fotheringham examines Cicero's habit of 'having his cake and eating it', i.e. running two incompatible lines of argument at the same time. Peter Mack surveys the interrelation of rhetoric and dialectic in the Renaissance, highlighting the importance of the latter and its influence on styles of composition in English as well as Latin. Finally Malcolm Heath describes a fascinating experiment in the teaching of ancient rhetorical techniques to modern students, showing that the study of ancient rhetoric can be not only an interesting aspect of cultural history but also an effective means of developing the 'transferable skills' valued by today's employers.
Book Synopsis Computational Models of Argument by : S. Modgil
Download or read book Computational Models of Argument written by S. Modgil and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2018-09-06 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its classical form, the study of argumentation focuses on human-oriented uses of argument, such as whether an argument is legitimate or flawed, engagement in debate, or the rhetorical aspects of argumentation. In recent decades, however, the study of logic and computational models of argumentation has emerged as a growing sub-area of AI. This book presents the Seventh International Conference on Computational Models of Argument (COMMA’18), held in Warsaw, Poland, from 12 to 14 September 2018. Since its inception in 2006, the conference and its related activities have developed alongside the steady growth of interest in computational argumentation worldwide, and the selection of 25 full papers and 17 short papers, out of a total of 70 submissions, and 15 demonstration abstracts included here reflect the broad multidisciplinary nature of argumentation and the increasing body of work which establishes the relevance of computational models to various disciplines and real world applications. Subjects covered include: algorithm development; innovative applications; argument mining, argumentation-based models of dialogue; abstract argument frameworks; and structured argumentation. Representing an overview of current developments in the field, this book will appeal to all those with an interest in computational models of argument.
