italic title The Rhetoric of Reaction Perversity, Futility, Jeopardy is a book by Albert O. Hirschman , which styles the rhetoric of conservativism in opposition to social change as consisting of three narratives perversity, futility, and jeopardy, and that, further, these narratives are simplistic, flawed, and cut off debate. Hirschman illustrates this thesis with examples from the French revolution and 19th and 20th centuries. He then discusses corresponding progressive narratives, and proposes Conservative narratives Hirschman describes the reactionary narratives thus According to the perversity thesis, any purposive action to improve some feature of the political, social, or economic order only serves to exacerbate the condition one wishes to remedy. The futility thesis holds that attempts at social transformation will be unavailing, that they will simply fail to make a dent. Finally, the jeopardy thesis argues that the cost of the proposed change or reform is too high as it endangers some previous, precious accomplishment. He argues that these are rhetorics of intransigence , that these do not further debate. Progressive narratives In the final chapter, Hirschman takes the opposite tack and discusses progressive narratives which are equally simplistic and flawed. The Synergy Illusion the idea that all reforms work together and reinforce each other, rather than being competing The Imminent Danger urgent action is necessary to avoid imminent danger History Is on Our Side Compare The arc of history is long, but it bends towards justice, by Martin Luther King Jr. Proposal Hirschman advocates instead these mature bases for discussion There are dangers and risks in both action ...

Unreferenced date December 2009 In Western classical rhetoric , the exordium was the introductory portion of an oration. The term is Latin and the Greek equivalent was called the Proem or Prooimion . The exordium is one of six parts of a discourse that an orator would develop as part of the rhetorical discipline known as dispositio &mdash the arrangement of the arguments in an oration. In the exordium , the orator laid out the purpose of the discourse. In doing this, he would need to consider several things What kind of cause is he presenting? For instance, is it an honorable cause defense of a hero or a dishonorable one defense of a murderer ? Should a direct opening be favoured, or should the opening be more subtle and indirect? In what manner ought the speaker to proceed e.g., light heartedly or seriously ? The speaker should introduce their own character or credentials, so as to make the audience predisposed to believing their arguments. If required, or possible, the speaker might also call into question the character or credentials of his opponent. Lastly, the speaker must avoid certain faults in the introduction. For example, this excerpt from the Rhetorica ad Herennium lists several faults In the Introduction of a cause we must make sure that our style is temperate and that the words are in current use, so that the discourse seems unprepared. An Introduction is faulty if it can be applied as well to a number of causes that is called a banal Introduction. Again, an Introduction which the adversary can use no less well is faulty, and that is called a common Introduction. That Introduction, again, is faulty which the opponent can turn to his own use against you.
