Aesthetics of Argument

Zusatztext [a] thought-provoking book Informationen zum Autor Martin Warner studied for his BPhil under the supervision of Gilbert Ryle, and taught philosophy for many years at the University of Warwick, where he is now Associate Fellow of its Centre for Research in Philosophy, Literature, and the Arts, which he helped to found. He jointly edits the Ashgate book series 'Transcending Boundaries in Philosophy and Theology', and is a member of the Council of the Royal Institute of Philosophy. His research interests lie in the assessment of rational persuasion, in the relationships of philosophy with both literature and theology, and in the transformative and persuasive powers of language. Klappentext Argument and imagination are often interdependent. Martin Warner explores how this relationship bears on argument's concern with truth, not just persuasion. He argues that the rationality of argument is not only a matter of deductive validity, but can be assessed in terms of criteria drawn from the study of imaginative literature.
