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. 410 0$aItalian literature and thought series. 517 3 $aPersuasion and rhetoric 606 $aPersuasion (Rhetoric) 615 0$aPersuasion (Rhetoric) 676 $a808 700 $aMichelstaedter$b Carlo$f1887-1910.$0291005 701 $aValentino$b Russell Scott$f1962-$01099875 701 $aBlum$b Cinzia Sartini$01593005 701 $aDepew$b David J.$f1942-$01813221 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958170403321 996 $aPersuasion & rhetoric$94366116 997 $aUNINA
