Eugene Garver

Opis

In this contribution to philosophy and rhetoric, Eugene Garver shows how Aristotle integrates logic and virtue in his treatise, the Rhetoric. Garver argues that Aristotle 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 Rhetoric for understanding current philosophical problems of practical reason, virtue and character, Garver treats the Rhetoric as philosophy and connects its themes with parallel problems in Aristotle's Ethics and Politics.
