Excerpt from Argumentation and Public Discussion

Argumentation is reasoning but it is reasoning together, it is a process of cooperative search: The security of democratic ideals depends upon the intelligent use of the method of combined and unified honest effort to come to consciousness of the nature of social and political problems and their causes. I can think Of no aim in teaching the use of the English language that is as worthy or as likely to arouse effective interest as that which connects the use of language with this social and democratic purpose. I welcome this volume as an intelligent move in this direction.
