<p>"In an age dominated by digital media, <i>Ethics in Contact Rhetoric</i> offers a crucial reminder of the importance of physical presence and embodied interaction, urging us to reconsider how ethical communication can be maintained in increasingly virtual and mediated spaces. It challenges conventional rhetoric with a fresh perspective, centering dance as a powerful metaphor for understanding relational dynamics, justice, and the fabric of social life; in its own words, '…human development begins in contact and later grows into language and media.'" </p>

<p>"This creative volume embodies ideas as a poetic dance of discourse. Refreshing and inspiring, ideas leap forth from a stunning array of classical and contemporary sources ranging across philosophy of communication, communication ethics, rhetoric, and theology to open new opportunities for meaningful contact and enduring hope. Here is rhetoric in a genuinely new key. Astounding!"</p>

<p>"The authors have done a stellar job navigating the axiological assumptions of the fields of communication and rhetoric with regards to the ontological assumptions that often go unchecked, and yet have real impact on our approaches to rhetoric, the nature of personness, and our relationships with one another."</p>
