Becoming Symbol-Wise: Kenneth Burke's Pedagogy of Critical Reflection
Abstract

I argue that Burke's theory and practice adds a rhetorical nuance to critical reflection and then envision how his 1955 educational concerns gain significance for teachers and scholars today who, like Burke, live in a time when war is always threatening.:'
