- Summary:
- Miller offers an innovative and thoroughly conceived theory of rhetoric, one concerned with Earth in its Heideggerian aspect, complex and multifaceted, at the root of a phenomenology placing the focus on earth as the power of being itself, whereby it is manifest purely as language. In his view, language is a power whose rhetorical dimensions are most clearly apparent in the phenomenon of kairos. 396 pp.
