Abstract: | The author agrees with most of what Maki says. Maki says for example that the author's definitions of rhetoric are fragmented and scattered." That's correct, though he think justifiably fragmented and scattered, as Maki agrees. "Rhetoric" is a word like democracy or freedom or capitalism, a complicated matter not easily fitted onto a 3" x 5" card. It is an essentially contested concept, which concerns half of our intellectual culture since the Greeks. Unlike some readers, Maki has troubled to become acquainted with the other half. |
