Philosophy & Rhetoric

"The writers who can satisfy more than one audience are all too few. Philosophy and Rhetoric provides a rare forum in which writers are encouraged to practice something more than the same old professional disabilities."

—James Crosswhite, University of Oregon

For over 40 years, Philosophy and Rhetoric has published some of the most influential articles on relations between philosophy and rhetoric. Topics include the connections between logic and rhetoric, the philosophical aspects of argumentation (including argumentation in philosophy itself), philosophical views on the nature of rhetoric among historical figures and during historical periods, philosophical analyses of the relation to rhetoric of other areas of human culture and thought, and psychological and sociological studies of rhetoric with a strong philosophical emphasis.

The Editorial Board of Philosophy and Rhetoric is composed of specialists in Classics, Intellectual History, Literary Theory, Media Studies, Philosophy, Political Science, Rhetoric, and Sociology.
