Writing Arguments: A Rhetoric with Readings

Front Cover
Pearson/Longman, 2007 - College readers - 758 pages
Throughout the book, the authors approach argument rhetorically by emphasizing audience and context at every stage of the construction of an argument. Writing Arguments, Brief Edition moves students beyond a simplistic debate model of argument to a view of argument as inquiry and consensus-building as well as persuasion, in which the arguer negotiates with others in search of the best solutions to problems.
