Abstract
Every rhetoric of historic significance has its mission. Ethical and epistemological themes in contemporary rhetorical scholarship suggest that the mission of contemporary rhetoric is fundamentally humanistic, and thus the overriding end that ought to govern the generation and interpretation of pragmatic discourse is the illumination and affirmation of human nature.Keywords
