About this title

Synopsis:

The unique collaborative effort of a distinguished interdisciplinary team -- a professor of English and a professor of philosophy -- "Current Issues and Enduring Questions" is a balanced and flexible book that provides the benefit of the authors' dual expertise in effective persuasive writing "and" rigorous critical thinking. Its comprehensive coverage of classic and contemporary approaches to argument includes Aristotle, Toulmin, and a range of alternative views, making it an extraordinarily versatile text. Readings on contemporary controversies (including the purpose of a college education, immigration, a peacetime draft, and obesity) and classic philosophical questions (such as, "How free is the will of the individual?") are sure to spark student interest and lively discussion and writing.
