Sinopsis:

Reseña del editor: Philosophy Debate is a short, readable, understandable guide for both students and teachers in Lincoln-Douglas debate. While there are several textbook style debate books that serve as well as a fourth leg to an old couch as learning to debate, and there are quality debate camps that can cost upwards of $500, this is the first concise and affordable explanation of the most important aspects of LD debate. But, this is also meant to be more than just an introduction--it is an invitation to treat LD debate like philosophy. Learning to be a good LD debater is about learning to be a good thinker. Griffith encourages readers to not only be able to win rounds, but to learn how to think critically and engage in fruitful and productive dialogue. The skill of weighing ideas humbly and respectfully with those whom you disagree is the most enduring lesson that high school debate can teach.
