Hardback. Condition: New. In the past several years two academic controversies have migrated from the classrooms and courtyards of college and university campuses to the front pages of national and international newspapers: Alan Sokal's hoax, published in the journal Social Text, and the self-named movement, "Perestroika," that recently emerged within the discipline of political science. Representing radically different analytical perspectives, these two incidents provoked wide controversy precisely because they brought into sharp relief a public crisis in the social sciences today, one that raises troubling questions about the relationship between science and political knowledge, and about the nature of objectivity, truth, and meaningful inquiry in the social sciences. In this provocative and timely book, Keith Topper investigates the key questions raised by these and other interventions in the "social science wars" and offers unique solutions to them.Engaging the work of thinkers such as Richard Rorty, Charles Taylor, Pierre Bourdieu, Roy Bhaskar, and Hannah Arendt, as well as recent literature in political science and the history and philosophy of science, Topper proposes a pluralist, normative, and broadly pragmatist conception of political inquiry, one that is analytically rigorous yet alive to the notorious vagaries, idiosyncrasies, and messy uncertainties of political life.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The resurgence of interest in rhetoric among political theorists is one of the most remarkable developments in the field over the past few decades. Assembling a multidisciplinary group of prominent scholars, The Oxford Handbook of Rhetoric and Political Theory is the most ambitious effort to date to display the range and vitality of work that constitutes the "rhetorical turn" in political theory. Including thirty-six chapters acrossfive sections, the Handbook explores issues that reside at the heart of many of the most pivotal debates and discussions in political theory today: questions about the role of affect and emotion in politicallife, the work of persuasion in political discourse, the relationship between logic and style in political argument, the character and scope of public deliberation, the performative and constitutive dimensions of language, the play of contingency in political life, and the rhetorical structure of political texts. The volume's authors assess the changing status of rhetoric in political theory and philosophy, exploring disputes that arose in ancient Athens and have continued to the present day,as well as urgent issues that have only recently emerged. Moreover, the Handbook investigates different understandings of rhetoric that have animated recent scholarship and examines key issues andapproaches that have fueled the burgeoning interest in rhetoric and political thought.The Oxford Handbook of Rhetoric and Political Theory demonstrates that an adequate understanding of political affairs cannot be attained without taking account the impact of rhetoric on political thought and conduct.
