Kenneth Burke   

Overview

As a classical treatise on motivations that compel human beings initiate and engage in any undertaking, Kenneth Burke unfolds a systematic elaboration on "basic forms of through which, in accordance with the nature of the world as all men necessarily experience it, are exemplified in the attributing of motives. These forms of though can be embodied profoundly or trivially, truthfully or falsely. They are equally present in systematically elaborated or metaphysical structures, in legal judgments, in poetry and fiction, in political and scientific works, in news and in bits of gossip offered at random."
