Kurzbeschreibung

<div>In this major contribution to philosophy and rhetoric, Eugene Garver shows how Aristotle integrates logic and virtue in his great treatise, the <i>Rhetoric.</i> He raises and answers a central question: can there be a civic art of rhetoric, an art that forms the character of citizens? By demonstrating the importance of the <i>Rhetoric</i> for understanding current philosophical problems of practical reason, virtue, and character, Garver has written the first work to treat the <i>Rhetoric</i> as philosophy and to connect its themes with parallel problems in Aristotle's <i>Ethics</i> and <i>Politics.</i> Garver's study will help put rhetoric at the center of investigations of practice and practical reason.</div>
