Book excerpt: Fact, Value, Policy is a reader/rhetoric designed for second semester freshman courses or more advanced courses on argumentation. It presents a theory of argument that distinguishes arguments of fact that depend on casual reasoning, and arguments of value that depend on analytical reasoning. Policy arguments are discussed as a special kind of claim that combines factual and evaluative issues. This coherent presentation of theory is coordinated with cross-curricular readings.
