Honoring the Form Notes References IndexReviewsMark McPhail has written a fine book that offers the possibility of deconstructing the binary limitations of both modern and postmodern theory, resituating these theories in more reciprocal (rather than adversarial) terms. He offers a rich and powerful critique of the historical privileging of philosophy over rhetoric, as well as the ways that argumentative discourse serves to maintain the privileged position of philosophy, replacing one 'oppressive' rhetoric with another that is equally essentialist-even those discourses considered liberatory. McPhail interweaves his personal quest for rhetorical understanding with public concerns, reconceptualizing ways in which 'opposites' complement, rather than hinder, one another. - George Kalamaras, Indiana University-Purdue University """Mark McPhail has written a fine book that offers the possibility of deconstructing the binary limitations of both modern and postmodern theory, resituating these theories in more reciprocal (rather than adversarial) terms.
