Speaking of Evil: Rhetoric and the Responsibility to and for Language

By Matthew Boedy and Matthew Boedy University of North Georgia

This book analyzes ancient rhetoricians, Nazi Germany critics, and public intellectuals addressing 9/11 to show how renaming evil is a key response to the evil in language. It claims that rhetoric has always been a response to evil and suggests ways in which we can better take responsibility for our words.
