Modern Dogma and the Rhetoric of Assent (University of Notre Dame Ward-Phillips Lectures in English L)

Are you tired of feeling stuck in your own thoughts? Do you ever wonder when it's okay to change your mind? Look no further than "Modern Dogma and the Rhetoric of Assent." This thought-provoking book by Wayne C. Booth will challenge the modernist dogmas that have hindered your ability to reason effectively. Don't let these dogmas dictate your beliefs any longer - it's time to embrace a new philosophy of good reasons.

In a world filled with doubt and skepticism, it's refreshing to find a book that encourages us to explore our values. Too often, modernism tells us that we cannot reason about values and that the only job of thought is to always doubt. But isn't there more to life than constant uncertainty? Booth argues that these dogmas have created a toxic rhetorical climate, where defenders of reason and defenders of values are at odds with each other. It's time to break free from these extremes and find a middle ground.

Booth's exploration of the consequences of modernist assumptions is eye-opening. From the realms of politics and art to personal identity and self-discovery, he shows us how these dogmas have permeated every aspect of our lives. But there is hope. By questioning systematic doubt and embracing a rhetoric of systematic assent, we can unlock a vast reservoir of good reasons. These reasons, long neglected, have the power to spark widespread inquiry across all fields. It's time to ask ourselves, "When should I change my mind?" and embark on a journey of intellectual exploration.

Don't miss out on this groundbreaking book that challenges the status quo. Expand your perspective and gain the tools to think and communicate effectively. It's time to break free from the limitations imposed by modern dogmas. Click here to get your copy of "Modern Dogma and the Rhetoric of Assent" and open the doors to a world of new possibilities.
