Rhetoric in Life --Notes --Selected Bibliography --IndexThis translation of Carlo Michelstaedter's Persuasion and Rhetoric brings the powerful and original work of a seminal cultural figure to English-language readers for the first time. Ostensibly a commentary on Plato's and Aristotle's relation to the pre-Socratic philosophers, Michelstaedter's deeply personal book is an extraordinary rhetorical feat that reflects the author's struggle to make sense of modern life. This edition includes an introduction discussing his life and work, an extensive bibliography, notes to introduce each chapter, and critical notes illuminating the text. Within hours of completing Persuasion and Rhetoric, his doctoral thesis, 23-year-old Michelstaedter shot himself to death. The text he left behind has proved to be one of the most trenchant and influential studies in modern rhetoric, a work that develops Nietzschean themes and anticipates the conclusions of, among others, Martin Heidegger. Publication of the book in English is an event of great magnitude for students of Italian philosophy, rhetoric, and literature as well as the culture of Mitteleuropa.Italian literature and thought series.Persuasion and rhetoricPersuasion (Rhetoric)Persuasion (Rhetoric)808Michelstaedter Carlo1887-1910.291005Valentino Russell Scott1962-1099875Blum Cinzia Sartini1593005Depew David J.1942-1813221MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910958170403321Persuasion & rhetoric4366116UNINA
