This book examines the concept of civility and the conditions of
civil disagreement in politics and education. Although many assume
that civility is merely polite behavior, it functions to aid
rational discourse. Building on this basic assumption, the book
offers multiple accounts of civility and its contribution to
citizenship, deliberative democracy, and education from Eastern and
Western as well as classic and modern perspectives. Given that
civility is essential to all aspects of public life, it is
important to address how civility may be taught. While much of the
book is theoretical, contributors also apply theory to practice,
offering concrete methods for teaching civility at the high school
and collegiate levels.

Moral sensitivity affects whether and how we see others, note moral
concerns, respond with delicacy, and navigate complex social
interactions. Scholars from a variety of fields explore the concept
of moral sensitivity and how it develops, beginning with a natural
moral capacity for sensitivity towards others that is shaped in a
variety of ways through relationships, forms of teaching, and
social institutions. Each of these influences alters the capacity
as well as one's responses in complex ways. The concept of moral
sensitivity deepens as progressive chapters demonstrate its
increasing complexity through development within individuals, over
time, as they mature, and as their relationships and social
contexts expand. The chapters integrate research from philosophy,
psychology, neuroscience, literature, education, and media and
technology studies, with key chapters by Darcia Narvaez, Nancy E.
Snow, Michael S. Pritchard, and Stephen J. Thoma and a Foreword by
Owen Flanagan. It is the only comprehensive presentation of
interdisciplinary work on moral sensitivity that integrates a
theoretical, methodological, and pedagogical analysis. This highly
interdisciplinary approach provides a new way of thinking about the
relationship of individuals to society and moral sensitivity as a
social phenomenon, extending current research in ethics, moral
psychology, and psychology toward situated, embodied, and
contextual analyses.
