Not only that, readers will be forced consider and reconsider the assumptions that undergird their interests in philosophy, rhetoric, and cultural and reception studies. Eschewing defined borders and instead seeking to build academic bridges, Mailloux once again opens up space for engaging intellectual conversations.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Mark Porrovecchio \u003ci\u003ePhilosophy in Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“These essays elegantly argue for the urgency of studying rhetoric in the twenty-first century. . . . \u003ci\u003eRhetoric’s Pragmatism\u003c\/i\u003e will earn the same high distinction that has marked Mailloux’s career over the last three decades and more.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Dale M.
