Why argument matters / Lee Siegel. by Siegel, Lee, 1957- author. New Haven : Yale University Press, [2022] Subjects Debates and debating.   Reasoning. ISBN:  9780300244267 (hardcover) 0300244266 (hardcover) Series:  Why X matters. Description:  146 pages ; 21 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "From Eve's crafty exchange with the serpent, to Martin Luther King's soaring, subtle ultimatums, to the throes of Twitter--argument's drainpipe--the human desire to prevail with words has been not just a moral but an existential compulsion. In this dazzling reformulation of argument, renowned critic Lee Siegel portrays the true art of argument as much deeper and far more embracing than mere quarrel, dispute, or debate. It is the supreme expression of humanity's longing for a better life, born of empathy and of care for the world and those who inhabit it. With wit, passion, and striking insights, Siegel plumbs the emotional and psychological sources of clashing words, weaving through his exploration the untold story of the role argument has played in societies throughout history. Each life, he maintains, is an argument for that particular way of living; every individual style of argument is also a case that is being made for that person's right to argue. Argument is at the heart of the human experience, and language, at its most liberated and expressive, inexorably bends toward argument." -- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 808.53 Si Checked In Add Copy to MyList
