John Rawls (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)

Taking Rawls's overlapping consensus seriously would go a long way to this. If ends of justice are shared, it shouldn't matter how we get to them.

When Civility Becomes A Weapon And A Possibility What makes this book most compelling is its refusal to treat civility as neutral.

"What links these essays is the seriousness with which the authors approach civility. This is a book that assumes the reader will take the time to grapple with the complexities of the various arguments and learn something from each of them." @forbes.com

"As Schwartz makes sense of numbers that don’t make sense, he reframes the conversation: β€œUniversity presses areβ€”and in most respects, have always beenβ€”a service rather than a product.” That service is captured in a subtle though significant distinction between printing and publishing. "
