Famous quotes containing the word argument:

    “A striking feature of moral and political argument in the modern world is the extent to which it is innovators, radicals, and revolutionaries who revive old doctrines, while their conservative and reactionary opponents are the inventors of new ones.”
    —Alasdair Chalmers MacIntyre (b. 1929)
