XVIII, 649 p. 7 illus., 2 illus. in color. 210 mm)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book reinvents aspects of the rhetorical tradition as part of a philosophical pluralism oriented to \"All-in-Allness\". Its chapters unfold some of the ethical and intellectual responsibilities philosophy and rhetoric share, their commitments toward literature broadly conceived, the limited authority of their interpretations, and the kinds of judgments they issue in. Part One, drawing chiefly on Ludwig Wittgenstein and Richard McKeon, leverages a central line of argument regarding \"Rationality\" in the pragmatism of Robert Brandom. Part Two pivots to specific instances of the range of rhetorical argument found in surprising places and in sophisticated arrangements. The book as a whole culminates in Part Three, where the author demonstrates how \"ordinary language criticism\" fruitfully bears on cultural models  - film, drama, novels, poetry - belonging to \"American Low Modernism.\"\u003c\/p\u003e Part 1.-\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eChapter 1:\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eThis Way Please: Possibilities of Pluralism.- Chapter 2: The Linguistic Turn after Richard McKeon: Richard Rorty and Robert Brandom.- Chapter 3: Aspect Perception in Brandom and Wittgenstein.- Part 2.- Chapter 4: Topics, Tropes, Arguments I: \u003ci\u003eTerms (including a Companion to Chapter Four).- \u003c\/i\u003eChapter 5: Topics, Tropes, Arguments II: \u003ci\u003eSequences.- \u003c\/i\u003eChapter 6: Topics, Tropes, Arguments III: \u003ci\u003eConsequences: The Prism-House of Language.- \u003c\/i\u003ePart 3.- Chapter\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e7: Judgment Calls: Sweating the Little Things in Reginald Rose's and Stanley Lumet's \"Twelve Angry Men\".- Chapter 8: Nothing Doing in Edith Wharton's \u003ci\u003eEthan Frome\u003c\/i\u003e: \"I had the sense that the deeper meaning of the story was in the gaps.\".- Chapter 9: Not Without Reason: Thinking Elizabeth Bishop's Weak-Transcendental \"Crusoe in England\".- Chapter 10: Grammar School for the Aspect-blind and A-rhetorical: Elizabeth Bishop's \"Over 2,000 Illustrations and a Complete Concordance\" (or, Allin All More or Less). \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWalter Jost \u003c\/strong\u003eis Professor of English at the University of Virginia, USA, and author of \u003cem\u003eRhetorical Thought in John Henry Newman and Rhetorical Investigations. \u003c\/em\u003eHe has edited or co-edited seven other books, among them \u003cem\u003eRhetoric and Hermeneutics in Our Time and Ordinary Language Criticism: Literary Thinking After Cavell After Wittgenstein.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Jost s scope exploring philosophical and literary scholarly resources is simply wondrous.
