Philosophical Writing: An Introduction
"There is an intimate and difficult-to-articulate connection between clear thinking and writing. A. P. Martinich has written a masterful book, chock full of examples, in which this connection is made explicit ... There is nothing like it in the available literature. I recommend it enthusiastically."Professor Avrum Stroll, University of California at San Diego"Beautifully crafted,Philosophical Writingdispels the myth that the art of good writing cannot be taught. In a most engaging manner, Martinich details how students can incorporate the virtues of cogency, clarity, and directness into their writing. It is difficult to imagine any undergraduate who will not benefit from reading this exemplary book."Professor Mark Bernstein, University of Texas at San Antonio
