Reviews

"In Rhetoric, Modality, Modernity, Nancy Struever shapes over a decade of methodological reflection on Hobbes, Vico, Peirce, and Heidegger into a bold historical argument that will find resonance with anyone interested in the limits of philosophy and our most basic modes of being. When I am asked to recommend the best new books in the history and theory of rhetoric, I will now name this one first." - Daniel M. Gross, University of California, Irvine"
