The Wrong of Rudeness: Learning Modern Civility from Ancient Chinese Philosophy
Olberding, Amy (Presidential Professor of Philosophy, Presidential Professor of Philosophy, University of Oklahoma)
When so much of civic life is painful and fractious, why should we be polite? Drawing on the work of early Chinese philosophers who lived during great political turmoil but nonetheless avidly sought to "mind their manners," Amy Olberding explains why politeness still matters, and why it is essential to human life, due to our deeply social nature.
