Etiquette, the field of multifarious I prescriptions governing
comportment in life's interactions, has generally I been neglected
by philosophers, who may be inclined to dismiss it as trivial, most
specifically in contrast to ethics. Philosophy tends to grant
absolute privilege to ethics over etiquette, placing the former
alongside all of the traditional values favored by metaphysics
[order, truth, rationality, mind, masculinity, depth, reality),
while consigning the latter to metaphysics' familiar, divisive list
of hazards and rejects (arbitrariness, mere opinion, irrationality,
the body, femininity, surface, appearance). Addressing a broad
range of subjects, from sexuality, clothes, and cell phones to
hip-hop culture, bodybuilding, and imperialism, the contributors to
Etiquette challenge these traditional values--"not in order to
favor etiquette over ethics, but to explore the various ways in
which practice subtends theory, in which manners are morals, and in
which ethics, the practice of living a good life, has always
depended upon the graceful relations for which etiquette provides
the armature.
