A thought-provoking text and a valuable addition to the library of university teachers in any discipline. --London Review of Education

Argumentation is not simply contradiction of other viewpoints (as it plays out in many classrooms); it is, rather, an intricate, intriguing, and structured dance of ideas. This book shows how to nurture productive and civilized argumentation in the broader interests of informed and tolerant discourse. -Teaching Theology and Religion A thought-provoking text and a valuable addition to the library of university teachers in any discipline. --London Review of Education
