Learning to think is a complex process made up of reading, writing
listening, speaking and remembering textual materials. The aim of
this topical book is to encourage practical educational reform in
the Humanities by taking the emphasis away from the reception of
texts to their production. Adapting rhetorical teaching methods,
the authors encourage students to participate in the activities of
thinking giving them short written and verbal exercises to develop
conceptual competences and linguistics skills. It is argued that
these methods can be implemented successfully across a wide number
of humanities subjects and that they encourage the development of
practical transferable skills, both cognitive and linguistic.
The authors have used these methods successfully in class, and the
book includes sample exercises, the initial results, and feedback
from their students.

This book, originally published in 1989 discusses an issue central
to all philosophical argument - the relation between persuasion and
truth. The techniques of persuasion are indirect and not always
fully transparent. Whether philosophers and theoreticians are for
or against the use of rhetoric, they engage in rhetorical practice
none the less. Focusing on Plato, Descartes, Kant, Kierkegaard,
Nietzsche and Wittgenstein, this book uncovers philosophical
rhetoric at work and reminds us of the rhetorical arena in which
philosophical writings are produced and considered.
