Rhetoric on the Margins of Modernity: Vico, Condillac, Monboddo (Rhetorical Philosophy and Theory)

This text focuses primarily on the Neapolitan Giambattista Vico (1668-1744), the Frenchman Etienne de Condillac (1714-1780), and Lord Monboddo (1714-1780), whose work rhetoric and linguistics intertwine as they respond to emerging attitudes and values of science and philosophy in the 18th century.
