Drawing on such classical rhetorical concepts as doxa, imitation, kairos, and topos, and engaging key works by Aristotle, Plato, the Sophists, and others, John Muckelbauer demonstrates how rhetorical invention can offer a nondialectical, \"affirmative\" sense of change that invites us to rethink the ways in which we read, write, and respond to others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Muckelbauer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791474208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791474204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"John Muckelbauer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49082566115583,"sku":"9780791474204","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-future-of-invention-john-muckelbauer-9780791474204","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
