Traditions Of Eloquence: The Jesuits And Modern Rhetorical Studies

This collection explores the long, living tradition of Jesuit rhetorical education, constructing "a more usable past" and a viable future for eloquentia perfecta, the Jesuits' chief aim for the liberal arts. Intended to foster eloquence across the curriculum and into the world beyond, Jesuit rhetoric integrates intellectual rigor, broad knowledge, civic action, and spiritual discernment as the chief intellectual goals of the educational experience.
