The first in-depth study of Stanley Fish's nonliterary writings.While Stanley Fish has exerted immense influence on the study of seventeenth-century poetry and prose, his most widely read works-and perhaps his most important-are his nonliterary writings. In Justifying Belief, Gary Olson examines Fish's nonliterary work and explains that what unites Fish's interventions in so many seemingly disparate areas of inquiry is his belief in the centrality of rhetoric. Whether he is discussing how disciplines conduct their work, how political positions triumph, or how practice always derives from specific situations despite the grandiose theories employed to justify them, Fish consistently turns to the specific local, contingent context-to the rhetorical situation at play-to explain how something works. For Fish, people understand or are persuaded by a position because it fits into the structure of beliefs already in play, not because they have been swayed by the reasonableness of someone's argument; they then pursue the available means of support to justify that belief rhetorically, both to themselves and to others. Olson demonstrates that this strong relationship between rhetoric and belief is the intellectual foundation of much of Fish's work. Justifying Belief includes a comprehensive bibliography of Fish's works, an Afterword by J. Hillis Miller, and a Foreword by Fish himself.Gary A. Olson is Professor of English at the University of South Florida and coeditor (with Lynn Worsham) of Race, Rhetoric, and the Postcolonial, also published by SUNY Press.
