Description
This collection of twelve essays explores the concept of example in the rhetorical tradition, examining its implications for theories of meaning and ethics in literature and philosophy. By investigating what makes an example significant, Gelley sheds light on the complex relationships between language, authority, and singular instances.
Through a range of texts spanning the Western tradition from the Bible onwards, Gelley delves into questions about the nature of examples, their role in shaping our understanding of the world, and the ways in which they are used to establish authority and convey meaning.
This thought-provoking volume offers insights into the intersections of literary theory, philosophy, and semiotics, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students seeking to understand the complexities of example in rhetorical discourse.
