Ego & Argument is a web site devoted to the intersection of debate and emotion. Fear, anger, the longing for status and dominance: these are ubiquitous features of human disputes, be they personal, political, or scholarly.
Amazingly, the emotional side of argument—particularly political and scholarly argument—is almost never acknowledged; it exists as a kind of open secret.
The emotional economy of debate cries out for attention. Ego & Argument heeds this cry.
The site is written and wrangled by Amy Langstaff.
