Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Since antiquity, philosophy and rhetoric have traditionally been cast as rivals, with the former often lauded as a search for logical truth and the latter usually disparaged as empty speech. But in this erudite intellectual history, Nancy S. Struever stakes out a claim for rhetoric as the more productive form of inquiry.Struever views rhetoric through the lens of modality, arguing that rhetorics guiding interest in what is possibleas opposed to philosophys concern with what is necessarymakes it an ideal tool for understanding politics. Innovative readings of Hobbes and Vico allow her to reexamine rhetorics role in the history of modernity and to make fascinating connections between thinkers from the classical, early modern, and modern periods. From there she turns to Walter Benjamin, reclaiming him as an exemplar of modernist rhetoric and a central figure in the long history of the form. Persuasive and perceptive, Rhetoric, Modality, Modernity is a novel rewriting of the history of rhetoric and a heady examination of the motives, issues, and flaws of contemporary inquiry. Offers a views of rhetoric through the lens of modality, arguing that rhetoric's guiding interest in what is possible makes it a suitable tool for understanding politics. This title examines rhetoric's role in the history of modernity and to makes connections between thinkers from the classical, early modern, and modern periods.

Zustand: Gut. XIII, 246 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly rubbed jacket, allover very good and clean. / Leicht beriebene Jacke, insgesamt sehr gut und sauber. - Nancy Struever's The Language of History in the Renaissance was an early and seminal contribution to the debate on the relation of rhetoric to history. In her second book on the Renaissance, she shifts her focus to ethical inquiry and its practical, or rhetorical, presence. Her examination of the work of five major figures of the period--Petrarch, Nicolaus Cusanus, Lorenzo Valla, Machiavelli, and Montaigne --contests accepted notions of the Renaissance Humanists as being merely hermeneuticists. At the same time, she shows how their work can be seen to gloss, or comment usefully on, the ethical theory of such modern philosophers as Peirce, Wittgenstein, Bernard Williams, and Quine. Often viewed as mere readers and interpreters of classical texts, the Renaissance Humanists in Struever's analysis appear instead as serious inquirers, rhetorically presenting their work as available practice. Struever notes three stages of investigation, the first represented by Petrarch, who "relocated" ethical inquiry from a theoretical realm to a familiar practice responsive to daily experience. Next, Struever describes how Cusanus and Valla assume Petrarch's relocation, yet confect ethics into discursive disciplines; their strategies, she suggests, illumine and are illuminated by modern philosophy of language. Finally, while both Machiavelli and Montaigne produced strong revisions of discipline, they considered the problems of addressing the non-inquirer as well. Where Machiavelli enjoins tough-minded theorizing, Montaigne demands not an elitist skepticism, but a familiar practice which engages in tending, and repairing, a web of ordinary beliefs. The Renaissance thinkers in this account prove to be reacting against the traditional reduction of ethical inquiry to arid abstractions and a mechanical and unpersuasive moralism. Struever reanimates their inquiries to demonstrate the complex particularity of moral life. A model of erudition and insight, crossing cultures and disciplines in its innovative approach to intellectual history and rhetoric, Theory as Practice is as startling in its implications for present-day philosophy as it is compelling in its importance for Renaissance studies. - Nancy S. Struever is professor in the Department of History and the Humanities Center at the Johns Hopkins University.
