Product Description

Each of us has the need to make sense of our world, make decisions, and learn who we are. Throughout history, rhetorical theorists have provided a comprehensive account of how individuals fulfill each of these needs. Current in its theory and practical in its approach, the book encourages readers to apply rhetorical theory to their personal, professional, and civic worlds. Borchers organizes theoretical insights topically rather than chronologically, so readers are better able to track the similarities and differences in central ideas. He provides context for understanding why rhetorical theories have been created, how they relate to the real world, and how they influence and are influenced by other ideas associated with human behavior. His writing style is engaging and not overly technical, serving the needs of readers without a specialized background. Gendered, feminist, and non-Western approaches are integrated throughout the book.
