Whether it’s in the local, national or international arena, there are huge divisions both within and between political parties, and views and values fluctuate wildly across society. Nobody seems able to agree. Nobody even seems able to agree to disagree. So what do we do?In this book, we’ll look at how we argue, and how we can argue more effectively. Building on discussions in Western philosophy, we’ll examine the different modes and methods of discourse and analysis. While this book looks at numerous obstacles to productive dialogue, it also offers reasons for hope. Humans are social beings – we are disposed to get along. Ethical Choices reveals how philosophy both ancient and modern, can help us in the project of mutual, sympathetic understanding.
