Beschreibung
This Open Access book examines many of the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic through the distinctive lens of civility. The idea of civility appears often in both public and academic debates, and a polarized political climate frequently leads to allegations of uncivil speech and behaviour. Norms of civility are always contested, even more so in moments of crisis such as a global pandemic. A focus on civility provides crucial insight and guidance on how to navigate the social and political challenges resulting from COVID-19. Furthermore, it offers a framework through which citizens and policymakers can better understand the causes and consequences of incivility, and devise ways to recover civility in our social and political lives.

"This book provides a timely and helpful way to understand and discuss key aspects of the COVID-19 crisis. It does so by unpacking and applying the concept of civility, thus offering a novel political theory perspective on the pandemic." (Sune Lægaard, Associate Dean, Department of Communication and Arts, Roskilde University).
“The normative concept of civility plays a crucial—albeit often underappreciated—role in public ethics and political philosophy. Although they cannot by themselves replace deontic moral constraints, norms of civility can support them and inspire citizens to act in a morally responsible and compassionate way in their social life. As Bonotti and Zech forcefully show in this timely and well-argued book, the COVID-19 pandemic underscored the irreplaceable role of civility in the regulation of our conduct.” (Jocelyn Maclure, Full Professor of Philosophy at Laval University and President of the Ethics in Science and Technology Commission (Quebec,Canada))
