This book describes how civic dialogue can serve as an antidote to
a polarized public square. It argues that when pervasive
polarization renders rational and fact-based argumentation
ineffective, we first need to engage in a way that builds trust.
Civic dialogue is a form of structured discourse that utilizes
first-person narratives in order to promote trust, openness, and
mutual understanding. By creating a dialogic structure that
encourages listening and reflection, particularities and
differences about fraught identities can be expressed in such a way
that leads to the possibility of connecting through our
fundamental, shared, and deeply felt humanity. Drawing on Plato,
Buber, Gadamer, Dewey, cognitive bias research, as well as the work
of dialogue practitioners, Lauren Swayne Barthold provides a
sustained defense of civic dialogue as an effective strategy for
avoiding futile political arguments and for creating pluralistic
democratic communities.
