🎙️ Welcome back to another exploration of rhetoric and philosophy! 🎙️
Hello, I’m Dr. Bobby, “The Best Assistant Professor Who Never Was”, and today we’re diving deeper into I.A. Richards’ Philosophy of Rhetoric, focusing on the interinanimation of words—how words interact, shape meaning, and depend on context for their significance.
📌 What We Cover Today: ✔️ How written and spoken words gain meaning through interaction ✔️ The Rhetorical Situation—a framework for analyzing communication ✔️ The intersection of rhetoric, composition, literary, and critical studies ✔️ Aristotle’s Poetics and Rhetoric—why studying both matters ✔️ How brainstorming techniques in writing stem from rhetorical strategies ✔️ Why words don’t have fixed meanings but derive power from their usage
Richards highlights how words are never truly independent—their meaning shifts depending on context, purpose, and audience. This idea connects with how we approach writing, multimodal communication, and even the way we interpret literature and art today.
