Reviews

An important collection [with] a wealth of insights.... In recent years, students of public argumentation have noted with growing dismay that the adjudicative role traditionally assigned to the public in a democracy seems to have diminished significantly. The essays in this book address the factors responsible for this paradoxical state of affairs and offer provocative suggestions for the reclamation of the public sphere for the public.... The volume is a spirited reaffirmation of argumentation's role in contemporary society. - Quarterly Journal of Speech
