Jason Caro takes a three-pronged approach, identifying the effects of the misuse of civility, expanding the meaning of civility, and offering applied examples. Civility bears its participants to utopia, such as the politics of unlikelihood, the civil community, the ideal civility situation, or charmocracy. Caro draws out the full potential of the virtue by observing how politeness is a particular mode of communicative action whereby participants are not merely exchanging face-saving gestures but constructing utopia. This radical stance raises the stakes of the debate on civility by setting the book implacably against realism and its politics of likelihood. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 192 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 28 February 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRadical Civility delves into the extraordinary potential of civility by exploring the reasons behind its crisis,reviving the principles that transform utopia into the realm of practical politics,and envisioning a society where citizens find purpose in uplifting one another. Jason Caro employs a three-pronged approach to address this issue. Firstly, he identifies the consequences of the misuse of civility,expanding the definition of civility,and lastly, providing practical examples of civility in action. Civility serves as a gateway to utopia, manifesting in various forms such as the politics of unlikelihood, the civil community, the ideal civility situation, or charmocracy. Unlike many studies of political manners, Caro embraces the interconnectedness between civility and politeness. Civility becomes the endeavor to infuse politics with charm. Caro uncovers the full potential of civility by observing how politeness operates as a distinct mode of communicative action, where participants engage in more than mere face-saving gestures; they actively construct utopia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis radical perspective elevates the stakes of the debate on civility by placing the book firmly against realism and its politics of likelihood. It will resonate with scholars and researchers in social sciences, cultural studies, social psychology, philosophy, communication, and peace studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 550g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032346472\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JasonCaro","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44104876753146,"sku":"9781032346472","price":136.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1677846002288_book.jpg?v=1677918853","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/radical-civility-a-study-in-utopia-and-democracy-9781032346472","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
