One interesting rhetorician is John Gage, who has written a textbook (The Shape of Reason). I don't know the textbook (yet), but I read two articles by him that are both quite interesting. One is the following, from 2005, that is quite philosophical yet readable and relevant in this political season:

The other is older, a classic on the "good reasons" approach to rhetorical pedagogy. I found it in a textbook on rhetoric edited by Covino and Joliffe that has many good selections. Gage's essay is called "Why Write?" I'd be happy to make copies for anyone who is interested.
