Provocative essays from one of America's most important cultural critics
Think Again gathers one hundred of the best of Stanley Fish's provocative New York Times essays, pieces that have generated passionate discussion and debate. Addressing controversies about such hot-button topics as atheism, affirmative action, free speech, identity politics, guns, and postmodernism, Fish dissects the arguments put forth by different sides in order to explain how their arguments work or don't work. Brief and accessible yet challenging, these essays teach you not what to think but how to think more clearly, and provide all the powerful intellectual, cultural, and political analysis one expects from Fish, one of America's most influential thinkers.Review Quotes
"A volume that covers so much ground so thoughtfully. . . . Fish is both stimulating and precise."--Chronicle of Higher Education
"Engaging, provocative, maddening, humorous, and insightful."--Arts Fuse
"Stanley Fish makes you think. No matter what you thought, or thought you thought, on a given subject--Israel, academia, pickup basketball, American law--Fish will flip it and spin it and dip it and turn it around for you. (And he can be a terrific comedian to boot.) A brilliant book."--Mark Edmundson, author of Why Read?
"Stimulating."--Weekly Standard
"You are not obligated to agree with him and you are not obligated to like him, but if you care about the enlarging necessity of contest in cultural discourse, then you are obligated to read him."--New Republic
