The Beauty of Lists: Copia and Argument

Abstract

A brief examination of extended lists of epithets, objects and characters in some works of Philo of Alexandria, Rabelais, and James Joyce suggests that traditional conceptions of argument may be in need of revision and expansion. The enthymematic paradigm sometimes turns out to be an instance of “trained incapacity.”
