Silence, Civility, and Sanity addresses the reclamation of civil
communication and healthy public conversation at a time when people
are very divided. Throughout this book, Stephanie Bennett focuses
on the importance of silence to temper speech and embrace the art
of listening to foster a more positive dialogue and civil society.
Throughout this book, the author addresses the place of silence as
a communicational good, intrapersonal silence in the history of
contemplative prayer, the importance of attentive silence, the
reflective use of silence, the ethnical dimensions of silence, and
the abuses of silence. This book also delves into the layers of
technological advancement that obscure perception and act as noise
that poses as silence, phantom silence. Bennett offers readers an
alternative to the false binaries of culture-warring that plague
our relationships, institutions, and public sphere. Scholars of
communication, rhetoric, and media studies will find this book of
particular interest.
