Ancient Rhetorical Theory Lectures

I have created a YouTube playlist containing all the lectures of my Spring 2012 Ancient Rhetorical Theory course at the University of Maryland.

Buddhist Argumentation Sample Lecture

This is a lecture I gave at the end of an Advanced Argumentation class. In it I discuss Buddhism as a way to expand the theories of the class to a more global perspective. You can view the lecture as an automated PowerPoint presentation with the recorded audio of my lecture. Slides will automatically progress along with the narration. You can also skip ahead to any slide and the narration will start from that point in the lecture. Some of the transitions were cut off and the meditation segment cut short, but all the lecture and discussion is there. If you would like to use portions of the presentation slides for your own class, please feel free to do so.
