The Life-Giving Gift of Acknowledgment de Michael J. Hyde

The Life-Giving Gift of Acknowledgment

Autor Michael J. Hyde
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 sep 2005
This is a brilliant and courageous work. It is brilliant in taking up an essential gesture of humanity -- acknowledgment-and elaborating it by recourse to films, novels, poetry, philosophy, religion, science, and social controversy. In spite of this breathtaking reach, Hyde never loses sight of his purpose, to understand and affirm the moral-ontological-rhetorical gift of acknowledging another. The book is courageous because it dares place rhetoric and science into productive conversation and remains open to both. It is courageous because it takes up such emotionally difficult issues as the symbolism of the Confederate flag, what it meant to be heroic after September 11, 2001, and the ethical character of life in a world of computer technology. Hyde has done here what he does best-offer a philosophical-rhetorical investigation of a principle even as he enacts the moral dimension of the principle in telling his story. This is a profound, revealing, and indeed inspirational, work.

[A] brilliant exploration of the life-giving force behind the very act of acknowledging another human being. This book has much to say to philosophers, rhetoricians, and ethicists. The depth of scholarship is exceeded only by the wealth of case studies from life and literature. Roy V. Wood, Professor in Human Communication Studies and Director of the Center for Civic Ethics, University of Denver
