Yet it is also true that the requirements of polite discourse effectively silence those who are not in power, gaming the system against the disenfranchised. What, then, should a democracy do?This book makes a case for understanding civility in a different light. Examining the history of the concept and its basis in communication and political theory, William Keith and Robert Danisch present a clear, robust analysis of civil discourse. Distinguishing it from politeness, they claim that civil argument must be redirected from the goal of political comity to that of building and maintaining relationships of minimal respect in the public sphere. They also take into account how civility enables discrimination, indicating conditions under which uncivil resistance is called for. When viewed as a communication practice for uniting people with differences and making them more equal, civility is transformed from a preferable way of speaking into an essential component of democratic life. Guarding against uncritical endorsement of civility as well as skepticism, Keith and Danisch show with rigor, nuance, and care that the practice of civil communication is both paradoxical and sorely needed. Beyond Civility is necessary reading for our times. 410 0$aRhetoric and Democratic Deliberation 606 $aCivil society 606 $aCourtesy$xPolitical aspects 606 $aDemocracy 606 $aSocial change 615 0$aCivil society. 615 0$aCourtesy$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aDemocracy. 615 0$aSocial change. 676 $a323.65 700 $aKeith$b William$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01825771 702 $aDanisch$b Robert$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911009282103321 996 $aBeyond Civility$94393676 997 $aUNINA
