Michael Harker. The Ethics of Argument: Rereading Kairos and Making Sense in a Timely Fashion.

Harker, Michael. "The Ethics of Argument: Rereading Kairos and Making Sense in a Timely Fashion." CCC 59.1 (2007): 77-97.

Abstract:

This study challenges the prevailing interpretations of the Greek rhetorical principle of kairos: "saying the right thing at the right time": and attempts to draw on a more nuanced understanding of the term in order to provide generative re-readings of three Braddock Award-winning essays.
