Current Issues And Enduring Questions

The book is a collaborative effort of a professor of English and a professor of philosophy. It is a balanced and flexible text that benefits from the authors’ dual expertise in persuasive writing and critical thinking. Revised through multiple editions, it addresses current student interests and trends in argument, research, and writing. The coverage includes classical and contemporary approaches to argument, such as Aristotle and Toulmin, along with contemporary debates on issues like environmental stewardship, cyberbullying, and reproductive rights, as well as philosophical questions about free will.
