Never be caught without an answer to an unexpected value, criterion, philosophy, or critical framework.
The “Everything” File is a 648-page debate resource designed to give Lincoln-Douglas debaters and coaches ready-to-use arguments against an unusually broad range of ethical theories, philosophical positions, and specialized frameworks.
Use this file to:
Prepare answers before a tournament
Respond to unfamiliar frameworks in round
Strengthen blocks, frontlines, and framework comparison
Expand students’ understanding of major and lesser-known philosophical positions
Save hours of searching when an opponent introduces an unexpected thinker or theory
Coverage ranges from widely used approaches such as deontology to far more specialized positions associated with thinkers and fields such as Roger T. Ames and Confucianism, Michio Kaku and futurism, and Lennard J. Davis and Critical Disability Studies—plus much more.
This is the file to keep nearby when “I’ve never heard of that framework” is not an acceptable ending to the round. Review the table of contents to see the depth and specificity of the coverage.
