Synopsis
What are the relationships between knowledge, expertise, and participatory dialogue? How is "the good life" connected to rationality? In what way is thinking dialogical and rhetorical? This original and perceptive text addresses these and other questions, offering a broad-ranging synthesis of diverse theories to show how reason, dialogue, and communication are inextricably linked. George Myerson provides a sustained discussion of contemporary theories concerning the models of rational dialogue and cultural difference. His analysis, starting with a deep reading of Habermas and Putnam, is enriched by illuminating treatments of key thinkers including Giddens, Fraser, Rawls, Billig, Elster, Lyotard, Nussbaum, Rorty, Harraway, Lloyd, Benhabib, and Bookchin. Rhetoric, Reason, and Society is a distinctive and practical introduction to interpreting these theoretical arguments. This fascinating work will be of interest to students and scholars in social, cultural, and political theory; philosophy; social psychology; communication; and the humanities.
