Read this book and you’ll never think of freshman composition in the same way again ... A bracing, philosophically rich argument for writing well as a personal journey and a social good. * Kirkus Reviews * ""One should use common words to say uncommon things.” That line from Schopenhauer precisely describes David Arndt’s project in his wonderful new book, Philosophy of Writing, which will teach you how to write and show you why writing matters. Both very clear and very sophisticated, it’s a short, deep, and beautiful. * Mark Edmondson, author of Why Write? (Bloomsbury, 2016), and Professor of English at the University of Virginia, USA * For students, researchers, young writers and educators alike, David Arndt’s book offers a compelling vision of what writing can be at its highest level: not just a means of communication, but a path to wisdom, into Mystery beyond Philosophy. * Antonio Cardiello, Researcher at the Nova Institute of Philosophy, New University of Lisbon, Portugal *
