On a Lecture Blumenberg Never Gave -- Rhetoric and Truthcraft -- “The Truth must dazzle gradually”.

Remarks on Blumenberg’s Die Legitimität der Neuzeit -- Man: Poor or Rich? Blumenberg as a Thinker in the Tradition of Classical Liberalism -- Rhetoric and Anthropology -- Standing In, Speaking For: The Rhetorical Scene of Substitution -- Getting Closer. Approaching Rhetoric From a (Certain) Distance -- Rhetoric and Methodical Interplay -- Against Thematocentrism: Blumenberg’s Zigzag Paths -- Functionality · Subtlety · Cognition: iuncturae Between Rhetoric, Philology, and Philosophy by Recourse to Blumenberg (as Well as Boeckh and Boethius) -- In Place of a Displacement -- On Conversing With Oneself (Regarding Free Variation, Ventriloquism, and Vanity) -- Addenda -- Replacement Procedures in Blumenberg’s Essay on ‘Approaching the Topicality of Rhetoric’ -- Approaching Blumenberg’s Understanding of Philosophy -- Postscript -- Letter to the Pater. The Conflict of Father and Son in Hans Blumenberg -- Contributors -- Index
Summary: Marking the 50th anniversary of one among this philosopher’s most distinguished pieces, Blumenberg’s Rhetoric proffers a decidedly diversified interaction with the essai polyvalently entitled ‘Anthropological Approach to the Topicality (or Currency, Relevance, even actualitas) of Rhetoric’ ("Anthropologische Annäherung an die Aktualität der Rhetorik"), first published in 1971. Following Blumenberg’s lead, the contributors consider and tackle their topics rhetorically—treating (inter alia) the variegated discourses of Phenomenology and Truthcraft, of Intellectual History and Anthropology, as well as the interplay of methods, from a plurality of viewpoints. The diachronically extensive, disciplinarily diverse essays of this publication—notably in the current lingua franca—will facilitate, and are to conduce to, further scholarship with respect to Blumenberg and the art of rhetoric. With contributions by Sonja Feger, Simon Godart, Joachim Küpper, DS Mayfield, Heinrich Niehues-Pröbsting, Daniel Rudy Hiller, Katrin Trüstedt, Alexander Waszynski, Friedrich Weber-Steinhaus, Nicola Zambon.
