The Rhetoric of Reason: Writing and the Attractions of Argument (Rhetoric of the Human Sciences)
"A work of art, conceptually and stylistically. What Crosswhite  has attempted is quite remarkable. A major contribution."-David Kaufer,  Carnegie Mellon --David Kaufer, Carnegie Mellon"The Rhetoric of Reason will be a delight to hand my graduate  students, many of whom have learned sophisticated objections to  argumentative models of discourse.  The book meets these concerns in a  creative way.  The teaching of effective writing must be a critical  part of what we in the liberal arts do, and, of course, we should all  be teaching good reasoning."-John Lyne, University of Iowa, series  editor  --John Lyne, University of Iowa, series editor
