Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In Provocations of Virtue, John Duffy explores the indispensable role of writing teachers and scholars in counteracting the polarized, venomous post-truth character of contemporary public argument. Teachers of writing are uniquely positioned to address the crisis of public discourse because their work in the writing classroom is tied to the teaching of ethical language practices that are known to moral philosophers as the virtuestruthfulness, accountability, open-mindedness, generosity, and intellectual courage. Drawing upon Aristotles Nicomachean Ethics and the branch of philosophical inquiry known as virtue ethics, Provocations of Virtue calls for the reclamation of rhetorical virtues as a core function in the writing classroom. Duffy considers what these virtues actually are, how they might be taught, and whether they can prepare students to begin repairing the broken state of public argument. In the discourse of the virtues, teachers and scholars of writing are offered a common language and a shared narrativea story that speaks to the inherent purpose of the writing class and to what is at stake in teaching writing in the twenty-first century. This book is a timely and historically significant contribution to the field and will be of major interest to scholars and administrators in writing studies, rhetoric, composition, and linguistics as well as philosophers and those exploring ethics. Provocations of Virtue explores the indispensable role of writing teachers and scholars in counteracting the polarized, venomous, post-truth character of contemporary public argument.
