D.--Yale University, 2013). 504 Includes bibliographical references (pages 243-263) and index. 505 0 Introduction: Wars of words -- "Persecution of the tongue" -- "Silver alarums": Roger Williams's "meer" civility -- "If it be without contention": Hobbes and civil silence -- "A bond of mutual charity": Locke and the quest for concord -- Conclusion: The virtue of mere civility -- Epilogue: Free speech fundamentalism. 520 Civility is often treated as an essential virtue in liberal democracies that promise to protect diversity as well as active disagreement in the public sphere. Yet the fear that our tolerant society faces a crisis of incivility is gaining ground. Politicians and public intellectuals call for "more civility" as the solution-- but is civility really a virtue? Or is it something more sinister--a covert demand for conformity that silences dissent? Mere Civility sheds light on this tension in contemporary political theory and practice by examining similar appeals to civility in early modern debates about religious toleration. In seventeenth-century England, figures as different as Roger Williams, Thomas Hobbes, and John Locke could agree that some restraint on the wars of words and "persecution of the tongue" between sectarians would be required; and yet, they recognized that the prosecution of incivility was often difficult to distinguish from persecution.--|cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Online resource; title from resource home page (EbscoHost, viewed March 21, 2019). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Courtesy|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85033563|xPolitical aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00005651 650 0 Toleration|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85135882|xPolitical aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00005651 650 0 Discussion|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85038407|xPolitical aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00005651 650 0 Freedom of speech.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85051707 650 0 Forums (Discussion and debate)|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85051014|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 7 Courtesy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/881711 650 7 Toleration.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1152232 650 7 Discussion.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/895143 650 7 Freedom of speech.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 934044 650 7 Forums (Discussion and debate)|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/933115 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBejan, Teresa M., 1984-|tMere civility. |dCambridge, Massachusetts : Harvard University Press, 2017|z9780674545496|w(DLC) 2016021054|w(OCoLC)946907283 787 08 |iBased on (work):|aBejan, Teresa Mia.|tMere civility. |dNew Haven, Connecticut : Yale University, 2013 |w(OCoLC)911075800 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2024359|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
