The Foundation In Truth Of Rhetoric And Formal Logic, Jeremy Barris

Humanities Faculty Research

Arguments in the rhetorical literature against the sufficiency of formal logic show the need for a foundation of both the rhetorically oriented disciplines and formal logic in truth. As the rhetorical disciplines have argued, formal logic cannot offer this foundation. But the rhetorical disciplines also cannot provide it: they are structurally too much like formal logic to achieve their distinctive aims. The combined rhetorical and logical nature of this foundation, as conceptual truth, is sketched. Implications are drawn for the foundational importance of ornamental rhetoric, and for the study and teaching of rhetoric as aimed, precisely, not at persuasion.

Unrealized Expectations And Political Violence In Peru's Sendero Luminoso Insurgency, Michael J. Harrington

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

The persistence of Sendero Luminoso’s insurgency since 1980 has produced a number of outstanding works on the history and politics of the movement. Nevertheless, the role of unrealized expectations and the ideological attraction of SL’s political violence, while often insinuated, has received less than thorough attention. Although several works examine Sendero’s ideology, none have yet considered the correlation between incongruent expectations and the ideological appeal of armed struggle. A possible reason for this neglect could be the perceived simplicity and remoteness of Sendero’s Gonzalo Thought ideology. Yet, Senderismo continues to inspire a small group of extremely violent guerrillas.
