Contents:

Truth in politics : ethical argument, ethical knowledge, and ethical truth -- Confronting the sophist -- Brown v. Board of Education as a paradigm of practical reason -- The ethical criticism of reasoning -- Rhetorical argument and ethical authority -- The will to be believed -- Taking reasoning seriously : rhetoric, hermeneutics, and practical reason in the interpretation of the Constitution -- Rhetoric and the unity of practical reason.

Summary: Brings Aristotle's Rhetoric to bear on practical reasoning to show how the value of such thinking emerges when members of communities deliberate together, persuade each other, and are persuaded by each other. That is to say, when they argue. Garver roots deliberation and persuasion in political friendship instead of a neutral, impersonal framework of justice. Through readings of examples in modern legal and political history, from Brown v. Board of Education to the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, he demonstrates how acts of deliberation and persuasion foster friendship among individuals, leading to common action amid diversity.
