"Nola J. Heidlebaugh considers the question of how, in an age of diversity and pluralism, contemporary society can productively address divisive issues. Looking at the dominant postmodern understandings of rhetoric, as well as at arguments extracted from Thomas S. Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Heidlebaugh finds that many social debates are regarded as intractable because of an incommensurability between the conceptions figuring in the competing positions taken.
She offers a redefinition of rhetoric that moves beyond stalemates and produces more inventive arguments."--BOOK JACKET.
