Abstract
Major changes in the nature and functions of logic, which centered on the writings of Locke and Hume, rendered topics untenable for rhetoric and logic in the eighteenth century, and remain as barriers to the development of a modern system of topoi. Changes included the shift from a logic of advocacy to a logic of inquiry, and from an emphasis on rational procedures in logic to an emphasis on cognitive processes.
