Book Synopsis
Here, Edward Schiappa argues that definitional disputes should be treated less as philosophical questions of ""is"" and more as sociopolitical questions of ""ought"". He covers a broad scope of argument in rhetorical theory, as well as legal, medical, scientific and environmental debates.

Trade Review
In a thorough and well-written book, Edward Schiappa shows that many arguments, particularly in law, are really about how concepts are defined.-Erwin Chemerinsky, University of Southern California
