Description and Table of Contents
Description
This work offers readings of four stories which depend upon the representation of argument. They belong to diverse works of poetic vision (from Wordsworth, Dryden, the Book of Job and the Bhagavad Gita). The arguments and questions in the texts motivate the stories, which in turn carry forward the arguments. The book asks a number of questions. How is good argument to be conceived? When do we recognize when we are in the presence of good argument? And, how much hope springs from that presence? The biblical translation is that of Robert Gordis and the "Bhagavad Gita" is a translation by Juan Mascaro.
