Human life is susceptible of changing suddenly, of shifting
inadvertently, of appearing differently, of varying unpredictably,
of being altered deliberately, of advancing fortuitously, of
commencing or ending accidentally, of a certain malleability. In
theory, any human being is potentially capacitated to conceive
of-and convey-the chance, view, or fact that matters may be
otherwise, or not at all; with respect to other lifeforms, this
might be said animal's distinctive characteristic. This state of
play is both an everyday phenomenon, and an indispensable
prerequisite for exceptional innovations in culture and science:
contingency is the condition of possibility for any of the arts-be
they dominantly concerned with thinking, crafting, or enacting.
While their scope and method may differ, the (f)act of reckoning
with-and taking advantage of-contingency renders rhetoricians and
philosophers associates after all. In this regard, Aristotle and
Blumenberg will be exemplary, hence provide the framework. Between
these diachronic bridgeheads, close readings applying the nexus of
rhetoric and contingency to a selection of (Early) Modern texts and
authors are intercalated-among them La Celestina, Machiavelli,
Shakespeare, Wilde, Fontane.
