Knowledge Unified (But Not by Rhetoric)
This is the best précis that I have written for “Ancient through Contemporary Rhetorical Theory.” Of course, the other ones were pretty bad. You might not agree that this is the best; more importantly, Dr. Lewis may not agree that this is the best. It is an attempt to (briefly) refute Giambattista Vico’s attempt to set up rhetoric as the unifier of knowledge in his On the Study Methods of Our Time. For my arguments on what would better serve to unify knowledge, come to class tomorrow morning at 9:35 a.m. in Fine Arts 221.

If you’d all like to give me hours of entertainment, e-mail the link to this log to Dr. Camille Lewis. Then I’ll have to be the one maintaining this little website after Lincoln gets his smack-down.

Dr. Lewis will not be upset. She does not mind and even promotes δισσοι λογοι (dissoi logoi). She might smack me down, but only in the academic sense.

For those of you who are interested, this paper did indeed get the worst grade that I’ve gotten so far in this class.
