This book is about a widely shared desire: the desire among
citizens for a vibrant and effective social discourse of
legitimation. It therefore begins with the conviction that what
political philosophy can provide citizens is not further theories
of the good life but instead directions for talking about how to
justify the choices they make--or, in brief, "just talking."
As part of the general trend away from the aridity of Kantian
universalism in political philosophy, thinkers as diverse as Bruce
Ackerman, Jurgen Habermas, Alasdair MacIntyre, and Richard Rorty
have taken a "dialogic turn" that seeks to understand the
determination of principles of justice as a cooperative task,
achieved in some kind of social dialogue among real citizens. In
one way or another, however, each of these different variations on
the dialogic model fail to provide fully satisfactory answers, Mark
Kingwell shows. Drawing on their strengths, he presents another
model he calls "justice as civility," which makes original use of
the popular literature on etiquette and work in sociolinguistics to
develop a more adequate theory of dialogic justice.
