In this followup to Integrity, Yale law professor Stephen Carter continues to meditate upon the "prepolitical" qualities on which a healthy society is based.
Why do people show poorer manners today than in previous ages? How did we come to confuse rudeness with self-expression and acting on our "rights"? Carter looks at these and other important questions with a combination of his personal experiences and an extremely long shelf of reading material, all the while maintaining an informal writing style that continually--but politely--engages the reader, inviting him or her to think about these issues along with Carter.
There are important messages here about generosity and trust, about respecting diversity and dissent, and about resolving conflict through dialogue rather than mandate. Stephen Carter would never be so uncivil as to demand your attention, but Civility most definitely compels.

The Wall Street Journal, Alan Wolfe
Civility implores more than it persuades. The importance of civility is so self-evidently true for Mr. Carter, and the evidence for our incivility to each other so damning, that analysis takes second place to exhortation. This is doubly a shame because the topic is so important and the author so qualified to address it.
