In this entertaining collection of essays, Wayne Booth looks for
the much-maligned "middle ground" for reason--a rhetoric that can
unite truths of the heart with truths of the head and allow us all
to discover shared convictions in mutual inquiry. First delivered
as lectures in the 1960s, when Booth was a professor at Earlham
College and the University of Chicago, "Now Don't Try to Reason
with Me "still resounds with anyone struggling for consensus in a
world of us versus them.
"Professor Booth's earnestness is graced by wit, irony, and
generous humor."--Louis Coxe, "New Republic
