Many philosophers believe that the traditional problem of our knowledge of the external world was dissolved by Wittgestein and others. They argue that it was not really a problem - just a linguistic `confusion’ that did not actually require a solution. Bruce Aune argues that they are wrong. He casts doubt on the generally accepted reasons for putting the problem aside and proposes an entirely new approach. By considering the history of the problem from Descartes to Kant, Aune shows that analogous arguments create difficulties for the contemporary philosophical consensus. He makes it clea

In this study of the relationship between Marxism and the rhetorical tradition, Aune argues that the classical texts of Marx and Engels wavered incoherently between positivist and romantic views of language and communication - views that were themselves made possible by the decline of the rhetorical tradition as a cultural force. He also suggests that, although western Marxism attempted to resolve this incoherence, it lacked a satisfactory theory of its own. He concludes that the liberating impulse of Marxist tradition would ultimately be better served if closer attention were paid to the rhet

Culminating a decade of conferences that have explored presidential speech, "The Prospect of Presidential Rhetoric" assesses progress and suggests directions for both the practice of presidential speech and its study. In Part One, following an analytic review of the field by Martin Medhurst, contributors address the state of the art in their own areas of expertise. Roderick P. Hart then summarizes their work in the course of his rebuttal of an argument made by political scientist George Edwards: that presidential rhetoric lacks political impact. Part Two of the volume consists of the forward-l

This is an excellent book for both beginner and advanced clowns. This book is aimed at clowns and would-be clowns who want to improve their skills. Included are comedy routines as well as instructions on riding a unicycle, juggling, stilt-walking, applying makeup, mime, puppetry, and magic. The advice on employment possibilities is less useful than that on acquiring specific skills. Anyone interested in being a clown or becoming a better one will find this a treasure trove.

What began as a simple letter--a mid-career architect’s comments to a young writer--turned into a 32-year correspondence, by turns amusing, inflamed, and conciliatory. Frank Lloyd Wright and Lewis Mumford, two pivotal figures in 20th-century American architecture and urbanism, were both passionate writers, keenly aware of world events. Their 150 letters from 1926--1958 covered a wide range of topics, including Wright’s position in the history of American architecture and contemporary practice, their friends and rivals, the invention and spread of the International Style, and pol
