The book is "a necessary corrective to all this economic triumphalism," Jeff Madrick said here in 1998, praising its "cogent ideas".
They kill, more than any lengthy cogent argument, the idea of someone.
There has unsurprisingly been some skepticism about both the distinction between vehicle and work, and the idea that cogent reasoning in favor of such a distinction is really to be found in the Borges story.
There are still no cogent alternatives to these ideas.
But it's not so feeble that a cogent case against a bad idea cuts no ice.
We have not added this point to the text as it would take a couple of paragraphs (and many citations) to flesh out this idea in a cogent manner, but we would be happy to do so if you think that it's an important point to address.
It may be a mark of our times, or at least the Tory right in the present coalition, that the ideas contained in this cogent and gracefully written book can be seen as radical.
The ideas we heard were cogent, thoughtful and direct.
There is no way you've had a cogent and non-insane thought since, like, May.
They win them because they win the battle of ideas, because they think ahead and cook up cogent policies, because they offer a positive vision of the future.
