Rhetoric mets the Web

Now I find this proposal really interesting in the light of my comments about the web as another kind of writing.

What sort of writing? A writing that has its roots in classial rhetoric is the argument. Spot on I say. Well said. Thats it exactly.

I was groping my way towards it through Gadamer's hermeneutical conception of writing as interpretation of tests and an ongoing conversation; Ciciero's conception of philosophy in political life as an exercise in rhetoric and bloggin as a form of civic conversation in an emergent democracy.

Krista has a post Classical blogging. Do read it.
