Rezensionen

"Philosophers do not have very developed vocabularies for talking about the structure of philosophical writing, which does philosophy students at both the graduate and undergraduate levels a disservice. This work is part of the solution. Philosophers tend to lean on argument forms to describe writing, which rarely capture the global structure of a philosophy paper. By clearly distinguishing between the macro- and micro-structure within philosophical writing, the work goes a long way towards making visible the structure of papers in the central journals of analytic philosophy and will make an excellent resource for students and teachers of philosophy."

Christopher Yeomans, Professor of Philosophy, Purdue University

"In this comprehensive, groundbreaking, lucid, and very readable book, the authors employ both theoretical and empirical means to develop a clear and detailed description of philosophical discourse, working from and adding to the ESP research tradition, and, in the process, contributing new and productive insights into genre and move analysis."

Tony Silva, Professor Emeritus of English, Purdue University
