Dialogues, Fourth Edition continues the previous edition's focus on argument as meaningful dialogue, that is, the exchange of opinions and ideas.
Dialogues represents argument not as a battle to be won but as a process of dialogue and deliberation among people with diverse values and perspectives. Part I contains succinct instruction on analyzing and developing arguments, from critical reading to source documentation, to a new chapter on visual arguments. Part II, with more than 90 new readings, offers a diverse collection of provocative essays from both the popular and scholarly medium. The lucid, lively, and engaging writing addresses students as writers and thinkers, without overwhelming them with unnecessary jargon or theory.

From the Back Cover
The concept of the "winning argument" has shifted since the first edition of Crossfire: An Argument Rhetoric and Reader was published. At that time, the purpose of argument was to "win" a debate by convincing an "opponent" of the worthiness, even the essential rightness, of the arguer's point of view. It is still important that people argue passionately for their beliefs, but today the notion of argument relies more on finding common ground, considering the value of other positions and proposals, and negotiating among people with different perspectives to arrive at solutions to problems that we all share. Metaphors for argument have shifted from battle to dialogue.
This newer concept of argument informs every page of this dramatically revised third edition, now titled Dialogues: An Argument Rhetoric and Reader. Part One of the text demonstrates how students can use the strategies of debate, dialogue, and deliberation to engage meaningfully with people holding diverse viewpoints. In Part Two, Current Dialogues, four major new themes and 17 new subtopics present a multiplicity of viewpoints on various timely topics. New writing assignments after each subtopic ask students to synthesize their understanding of different arguments as they write their own. With 90 percent new readings, this edition of Dialogues represents a substantial revision of argument.
Highlights of Dialogues, Third Edition:
- Entirely new strategies for debate, dialogue, and deliberation
- Entirely new Chapter 2, "Reading Arguments: Thinking Like a Critic"
- Twenty sample arguments for analysis in Part One
- The latest material on finding and evaluating Internet resources
- New sample student arguments cited in MLA and APA styles
- Logical fallacies coverage in Chapter 2 and integrated throughout
- 90 percent new readings in Part Two
- Two casebooks on high-interest topics: "Juvenile Crime, Adult Punishment?" and "Teen Parents: Children Having Children?"
- The Black Freedom Struggle: Arguments That Shaped History": arguments of the civil rights movement on education, nonviolence, equal opportunity, and the effects of the movement today
