Kenneth Burke's Philosophical and Religious Thought
by Pottle, Kenneth Raymond, Ph.D., STANFORD UNIVERSITY, 2012, 296 pages; 3497144

Abstract:

Kenneth Burke's Philosophical and Religious Thought treats six concepts which were fundamental to his later work. They are traced in their historical origins and are engaged in their philosophical dimensions. These concepts are the natural order, mortification, tacit dimensions of knowledge, what Burke calls "spoken replicas," ideas of ownership, and realist determinations of imagery. On this basis, my dissertation opens up the possibility of the location and relocation of Burke's work in new ways on the map of Western (nonanalytic) philosophy.
