In this chapter I focus on what I see as a tenor in Hauser’s work, namely rhetoric’s place in the basic schisms characteristic of democratic societies: how to bring together in responsible ways the sometimes conflicting appeals from reason and passion, and how to practice the rule of “the people” when in fact there are major power differences and often a perceived gap in interest, knowledge, and evaluation of issues between the majority and the elite minority. In Hauser’s own words, there are questions to be raised, “questions about the ways that participation is manifested, how opinion is expressed, how we may come to know it” (“Rhetorical Democracy and Civic Engagement” 7). In what follows, we shall track some of Hauser’s own answers to these questions.
