This important volume explores alternative ways in which those
involved in the field of speech communication have attempted to
find a philosophical grounding for rhetoric. Recognizing that
rhetoric can be supported in a wide variety of ways, this text
examines eight different philosophies of rhetoric: realism,
relativism, rationalism, idealism, materialism, existentialism,
deconstructionism, and pragmatism. The value of this book lies in
its pluralistic and comparative approach to rhetorical theory.
Although rhetoric may be the more difficult road to philosophy, the
fact that it is being traversed by a group of authors largely from
speech communication demonstrates important growth in this field.
Ultimately, there is recognition that if different thinkers can
have solid reasons to adhere to disparate philosophies, serious
communication problems can be eliminated. Rhetoric and Philosophy
will assist scholars in choosing from among the many philosphical
starting places for rhetoric.
