In Being-Moved, Daniel M. Gross challenges us to rethink rhetorical studies in its history, theory, and pedagogy. He persuasively questions the traditional privilege given the speaker or writer as the significant communication agent, emphasizing instead--with the help of Martin Heidegger's rereading of Aristotle--a long history of rhetoric as the art of listening. Carefully researched and artfully argued, this tour-de-force study will capture the imagination of rhetoricians across the human sciences as well as scholars in philosophy, intellectual history, and cultural studies.--Steven Mailloux, author of Rhetoric's Pragmatism: Essays in Rhetorical Hermeneutics Investigating 'the ear of democracy' in order to address our current 'erosion of public debate, ' Being-Moved: Rhetoric as the Art of Listening contributes to the recovery of listening within rhetorical studies. Contextualizing listening within philosophy, religion, communication, poetics, psychoanalysis, and rhetoric and composition studies, this book is an engaging read for students of listening.--Krista Ratcliffe, author of Rhetorical Listening: Identification, Gender, Whiteness
