Amid divided times, civility can help us transcend important differences and flourish amidst them. It is through true civility, the recognition of the innate dignity of others, that we can bridge social, cultural, and political divides. In this lecture, Alexandra Hudson will discuss her new book The Soul of Civility: Timeless Principles to Heal Society and Ourselves, empowering listeners to live tolerantly with others, and respect them because of our shared humanity, despite deep differences.
We can’t change others, but if enough of us choose civility, we might be able to change the world.
