William James and the epistemic view of rhetoric

Pages 158-169 | Published online: 05 Jun 2009
 

Abstract

Recent rhetorical theorists who have argued that knowledge is in part or wholly rhetorical have stopped short of giving an adequate account of the nature of truth, an account which views truth as a function of rhetorical activity but at the same time avoids subjectivism. This essay argues that such a conception of truth is to be found in the writings of William James.
