Abstract
Writers in the field of rhetorical criticism have long been divided over the role of moral judgment in their work. Among the rhetorical theorists most successful in incorporating moral judgments in their writings are those who, like Richard Weaver and Kenneth Burke, begin with the idea that communication is a moral act and not merely a container for moral content. Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy is a writer in this vein. Unfortunately, his work has been slighted, and it has been ignored entirely as a system for generating widely acceptable moral criticism of rhetorical acts.
