While acknowledging empirical findings within the social sciences, it takes on the prescriptive task of imagining a better world, in which being citizens in a democracy means actively engaging with others. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe cling to tribal affiliations which incline us to look inward and spurn those whom we deem to be \"other.\" And we observe the mind-numbing, herd-like impact of social (and other) media on our capacity - and that of our children - to distinguish truth and good sense from falsehood and nonsense. Such problems demand our attention as \u003ci\u003ereasonable\u003c\/i\u003e persons who both\u003ci\u003e think for themselves, \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e deliberate in good faith with others\u003c\/i\u003e with whom they may well disagree. The good news is that while reasonableness cannot be taken for granted, it can -indeed, it must - be nurtured and it \u003ci\u003emust \u003c\/i\u003ebe taught. This book both articulates a conception of reasonableness and exemplifies a clear standard of reasonableness, with respect to the questions it raises and the author's responses to them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurance Joseph Splitter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9811966834\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789811966835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 5.91w x 0.32d","brand":"Laurance Joseph Splitter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44149066039551,"sku":"9789811966835","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ca9e5abd-91f8-4768-8e5c-9f5954305b50.jpg?v=1688454681","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/identity-reasonableness-and-being-one-laurance-joseph-splitter-9789811966835","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
