"Aristotle and Confucius on Rhetoric and Truth: The Form and the Way," by Dr. Haixia Lan, published by Routledge

Dr. Haixia Lan's Aristotle and Confucius on Rhetoric and Truth: The Form and the Way argues that different cultures can coexist better today if we focus not only on what separates them but also on what connects them. To do so, Dr, Lan discusses how both Aristotle and Confucius see rhetoric as a mode of thinking that is indispensable to the human understanding of the truths of things or dao-the-way, or, how both see the human understanding of the truths of things or dao-the-way as necessarily communal, open-ended, and discursive. Based on this similarity, Dr. Lan aims to develop a more nuanced understanding of differences to help foster better cross-cultural communication. In making the argument, she critically examines two stereotyped views: that Aristotle’s concept of essence or truth is too static to be relevant to the rhetorical focus on the realm of human affairs and that Confucius’ concept of dao-the-way is too decentered to be compatible with the inferential/discursive thinking. In addition, Dr. Lan relies primarily on the interpretations of the Analects by two 20th-century Chinese Confucians to supplement the over-reliance on renderings of the Analects in recent comparative rhetorical scholarship. The book shows that we need an in-depth understanding of both the other and the self to comprehend the relation between the two.

Ecocriticism in the Modernist Imagination: Forster, Woolf, and Auden, by Dr. Kelly Sultzbach, published by Cambridge University Press

Although modernism has traditionally been considered an art of cities, Ecocriticism in the Modernist Imagination claims a significant role for modernist texts in shaping environmental consciousness. Analyzing both canonical and lesser-known works of three key figures - E. M. Forster, Virginia Woolf, and W. H. Auden - Sultzbach suggests how the signal techniques of modernism encourage readers to become more responsive to the animate world and non-human minds. Understanding the way these writers represent nature's agency becomes central to interpreting the power dynamics of empire and gender, as well as experiments with language and creativity. The book acknowledges the longer pastoral tradition in literature, but also introduces readers to the newly expanding field of ecocriticism, including philosophies of embodiment and matter, queer ecocriticism, and animal studies. What emerges is a picture of green modernism that reifies our burgeoning awareness of what it means to be human within a larger living community.
