In a paper published in 1998, author and professor Byron Hawk asserts that the Rogerian method of argumentation is limited by one's ability to seek “true” identification, and instead functions as an inventive way to construct ethos. Hawk makes the point that the goal of using empathy to seek genuine understanding is futile because he believes that one’s understanding is ultimately a projection of ourselves. Hawk constructed a group writing assignment for a class using a modified version of Young, Becker, and Pikes approach where they collaborated on a text to find common ground on a topic. Hawk argues that when removing the seduction of the “will to produce” for example, prove the other wrong or win a debate, then the Rogerian method of argumentation can take on a new form of imaginative rhetoric. Leo, I like your idea of adding this summary of Hawk's work, but there are a few minor grammar and punctuations errors here -- just make sure you clean them up before posting.
