Review # 2 was written on 2011-12-21 00:00:00 Tyler Cantwill This is my favorite book by Booth. Here we see him--not only critique the "dogmas" of Modernism--but offer an alternative called "The Rhetoric of Assent." Instead of reducing debate into a search for "falsifications," he offers criteria for "assenting" to propositions. It is a bold defense of philosophical pluralism that gets to the root of our greatest problems as a Democracy: learning how to rigorously agree with one another! Perhaps, Booth's most under-rated and under appreciated books. Perhaps even more relevant than when it was first published. |
