This book explains the enduring significance of topos, an Aristotelian translation of the concept of Place, by exploring how place shapes the kinds of arguments we make, texts we produce, the arts and technology we use.
In tracing the intellectual lineage of topos from classical rhetorical theory to contemporary digital discourse, the chapters demonstrate the ongoing relevance of place to the formation of thought, identity, arts and arguments in the modern world. It offers both a foundational academic text for civics education and a call to reclaim topos as a critical tool for reasoning in an age oversaturated with online messages and fragmented discourse.
This work takes a unique, artful and interdisciplinary approach linking classical philosophical and rhetorical frameworks to contemporary educational and cultural challenges. It will appeal to a broad set of diverse academic audiences across the humanities and social sciences, including rhetoric, philosophy, history, literature, and religious studies, place studies, legal studies, and public intellectuals interested in discourse and argumentation.
