CHAPTER

Navigating Civility in Political Discourse

This chapter explores the evolving concept of civility within political discussions, emphasizing its dual role as both a virtuous standard and a potential constraint on marginalized voices. It distinguishes between thick and thin civility, advocating for a thinner approach that fosters diverse viewpoints while emphasizing the necessity of tolerating perceived incivility to sustain meaningful dialogue. The conversation also touches on the historical context of tolerance in liberalism, stressing the importance of understanding past influences on contemporary debates around freedom of speech and liberty of conscience.
