Ambient Rhetoric Quotes

“Rhetoric accomplishes its work by inducing us to shift, at least potentially, how we dwell or see ourselves dwelling in the world.”
― Thomas Rickert, Ambient Rhetoric: The Attunements of Rhetorical Being

“World” as thought through Heidegger's work would be the mutually achieved composite of meaning and matter; what is disclosed—that is, what presents itself to us through our doing, saying, and making—is disclosed as already fitted into material environments and holistic forms of significance.”
― Thomas Rickert, Ambient Rhetoric: The Attunements of Rhetorical Being
