Description
A crisis of civility threatens our public sphere, as heated disagreement pollutes our discourse. In liberal democracies, tolerating active disagreement is a fundamental value, yet the loss of this virtue appears critical. Teresa Bejan argues that a more nuanced approach to civility, one that prioritises respectful behavior over suppressing dissent, offers a promising path forward. This perspective, rooted in the ideas of Roger Williams, challenges our assumptions about what a tolerant and civil society should look like. By examining the concept of mere civility, Bejan provides a thought-provoking exploration of the limits of toleration and the importance of respectful disagreement in public discourse.
