Infos

The rhetorical tradition, Michelle Ballif asserts, is based on the systematic exclusion of sophistry. In keeping with Aristotle's prescription, rhetoric continues to be a counterpart to dialect, a handmaiden to the pursuit of truth, even if that truth is merely probable.

Autor

Michelle Ballif is an assistant professor of English at the University of Georgia. She is coeditor (with Michael G. Moran) of Twentieth-Century Rhetorics and Rhetoricians and (with Victor J. Vitanza) of Realms of Rhetoric.
