Summary
<p>"Civility" is almost a dirty word these days on both the right and the left. But Lexi Hudson has written a book to defend it, arguing that being civil--being a good <em>fellow citizen</em>--doesn't mean being nice or tiptoeing around disagreements. Civility is always under a certain kind of assault, but that doesn't mean it's hopeless. We discuss pictures of civility in Homer, Ovid, and the Old Testament, as well as high and low trust societies and whether our age is a uniquely uncivil one.</p> <p>Check out our sponsor, the Ancient Language Institute: <a href="https://ancientlanguage.com/youngheretics/">https://ancientlanguage.com/youngheretics/</a></p> <p>Read Lexi's Book, <em>The Soul of Civility</em>: <a href="https://a.co/d/786NgpZ">https://a.co/d/786NgpZ</a> </p> <p>Join Lexi's community, Civic Renaissance: <a href="https://www.civic-renaissance.com/">https://www.civic-renaissance.com/</a></p>
