Dear all,
It's my pleasure to suggest some light holiday reading to you all: my own collection of articles Rhetorical Deliberation: Arguing about Doing<https://scholar.uwindsor.ca/philosophybooks/5/>, which is available for open-access download in the series Windsor Studies in Argumentation<https://windsor.scholarsportal.info/omp/index.php/wsia/catalog/book/19>. It can also be acquired at a very modest price in hard copy from Amazon<https://www.amazon.com/Deliberative-Rhetoric-Arguing-Windsor-Argumentation/dp/0920233805>.

In my front cover drawing (see below), I have tried, with an allusion to Raffael's School of Athens,  to suggest which of the two sages, Plato and Aristotle, has, in my view, the weightier views on rhetoric, deliberation, and argument. Also, the notion of the pair of scales permeates the twenty articles collected here. As a metaphor for arguing about doing, I offer it as superior to philosophical conceptions of deductive inference, in whatever form.

Have a wonderful summer,
Yours sincerely,

Christian Kock
Professor of Rhetoric
University of Copenhagen
