A Review of Folk Phenomenology

Abstract

Samuel Rocha, author of Folk Phenomenology: Education, Study, and the Human Person, spent many of his intellectual development years honing his oratorical skills on debate teams. It is not surprising, therefore, to find this book to be an act of rhetoric, not in the narrow sense of the arts of persuasion, but in the broader sense of rhetoric found in the works of Kenneth Burke (1970), Giambattista Vico (1990) and twentieth century Vico scholar Ernesto Grassi (2001).
