About the Book

In Saving Persuasion, Bryan Garsten uncovers the early modern origins of today’s suspicious attitude toward rhetoric and seeks to loosen its grip on contemporary political theory. He argues that the artful practice of persuasion ought to be viewed as a crucial part of democratic politics.

Review :
Bryan Garsten's fascinating book Saving Persuasion: A Defense of Judgment and Rhetoric explores the long traditions of attacking, or defending, rhetoric and its place in human life. -- Simon Blackburn Financial Times 20060729 An engaging and original work of wide appeal. Garsten analyzes the formation of an antirhetorical tradition in modern political thought, investigates its rival classical tradition of rhetoric and judgment, and explores the promise that a politics of persuasion offers contemporary democratic societies. -- Daniel Kapust Perspectives on Politics 20070301 Saving Persuasion deserves a wide audience. Any future discussion of the fate of rhetoric in the early modern period, of Cicero, and of Aristotle's Rhetoric will be defined by Garsten's work. And we rhetoricians can be very grateful to Garsten for joining us in our often quixotic quest to "save persuasion." -- James Arnt Aune Philosophy and Rhetoric 20080101
