== Biography ==
Stephen Toulmin (25 March 1922 - 4 December 2009) was an educator, philosopher, and author. A disciple of Ludwig Wittengenstein, he rejected the extremes of absolutism and relativism, arguing that neither has any kind of practical value. Toulmin examined ethics, moral reasoning, and science, and is perhaps best known for his system of argumentation analysis, which he postulated while developing practical argumentation as a response to absolutism and relativism.

Kenneth Burke

2012-04-13T19:43:04Z

Ben Layman: /* External Links */

== Biography ==
Kenneth Burke (1897-1993) was a major American literary and rhetorical theorist and critic. He was influenced by Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, and Friedrich Nietzsche, but did not explicitly follow any particular school of thought. Burke defined (hu)mankind as the "symbol-making (symbol-using, symbol-misusing) animal, inventor of the negative (or moralized by the negative), separated from his natural condition by instruments of his own making, goaded by the spirit of hierarchy (or moved by the sense of order), and rotten with perfection" (Definition of Man 53-54).

'''Education'''
* One semester at Ohio State University
* Studied at Columbia University for one year before dropping out to become a writer

== Notable Quotes ==
"The best I can do is state my belief that things might be improved somewhat if enough people began thinking along the lines of this definition; my belief that, if such an approach could be perfected by many kinds of critics and educators and self-admonishers in general, things might be a little less ominous than otherwise" ("Definition of Man" 58 in ''Professing the New Rhetorics'').

"So far as is known at present, the only typically symbol-using animal existing on Earth is the human organism. The intuitive signaling systems in such social creatures as bees and ants would not be classed as examples of symbolic action. They are not conventional, arbitrary symbol systems such as human speech, which is not inborn but has to be learned depending upon where the child happens to be "thrown," an accident of birth that determines whether the child learns Chinese, or French, or whatever idiom may prevail in the given locality. Symbol systems of that sort also differ from intuitive signaling systems in that they have a second-level (or "reflexive") aspect. That is to say: they can talk about themselves. Cicero could both orate and write a treatise on oratory. A dog can bark but he can't bark a tract on barking."
"(Nonsymbolic) Motion/(Symbolic) Action" (141 in [http://publishing.cdlib.org/ucpressebooks/view?docId=kt1j49p9r4;brand=ucpress ''On Human Nature: A Gathering While Everything Flows 1967-1984''], edited by Rueckert and Bonadonna)
