Books by G. Yoos

Interpretation and definition as rhetorical and logical modes are interactive in determining and precising meaning that transcends our repertoire of literal usage. Refining language use gives us the opportunity and freedom to explore and discover what never has been thought about, used, or expressed before.

This book is a combination of rhetorical theory and critical thinking. It argues that liberalism in its most meaningful sense is not ideological, but a politics of rational and civic virtue. It uses different frames and references to address problems liberals face in confronting the rhetorical strengths of conservative policy argument.
