- Abstract:
- Burke’s pentad and McKeon’s quartet both generate philosophical orientations. McKeon’s quartet also distinguishes philosophical orientations characteristic of different historical periods, including the twentieth century’s antifoundationalist “linguistic turn.” This historical dimension provides the basis for a McKeonist defense of Burke’s foundationalism in his “Our Attempt to Avoid Mere Relativism,” the concluding section of his well known “Terministic Screens.”
