Weaver's rhetorical theory: Axiology and the adjustment of belief, invention, and judgment

Any complete rhetorical theory must consider the problem of adjusting beliefs to others while maintaining the self. Richard Weaver suggests an approach to this problem by deriving a logic of belief from a social conception of man and adapting invention and judgment to this logic. Weaver presents rhetoric as a means for discovering ways to transcend cultural pluralism and inter‐cultural diversity without foregoing our selves.
