The New Rhetoric and the Humanities

Abstract

Political demonstrations, campaigns of civil disobedience and university strife which have spread throughout the world in the last years are considered everywhere to be a rebellion against authority. The latter is identified with power, the use of public force and thus constitutes a continual menace to individual liberties.

In Annales de I’Institut de Philosophic de Bruxelles, 1969, pp. 9–19, and Le Champ de I’argumentation (Brussels, 1970) pp. 207–216.
