The Way We Argue Now

More about the book

Exploring the intersection of argumentation and philosophy, Amanda Anderson delves into how our debating styles reflect our way of life. She examines literary, cultural, and political theories, focusing on critical distance, subjective experience, and the foundations of belief. By engaging with liberal and rationalist traditions, Anderson critiques the boundaries of identity politics and poststructuralism, emphasizing the significance of theory as a guiding principle in life and thought.
