Five Minutes on Fred Kauffeld (I): Contributions to the Field of Rhetoric

Session Submission Type: Panel Discussion

Abstract

Over the past thirty years, Fred Kauffeld has insistently pursued a project uniting scrupulous philosophical analysis of key concepts, close scrutiny of touchstones of public address, and a finely honed pragmatic sense of how speakers can, by undertaking responsibilities, move even recalcitrant auditors. The panelists have been invited to assess, extend, critique and celebrate his professional and personal contributions to the field, explaining in "five" minutes what they have learned from Fred.
